3 Days-Mount Meru Hike

After breakfast in the Hotel at Arusha, we drive to Momela Gate. After a short registration at the Gate, our walk will begin with a full-armed ranger escorting us, simply we can see along the way the wild animals including zebras, giraffes, monkeys, antelope, and often elephants along the route.

Dinner and overnight night at Miriakamba Hut.

The walk from Miriakamba Hut to the saddle below Little Meru is a short day but a steep climb. The walk will take us slowly along the ridge for a spectacular view of the Meru Crater and the impressive Ash Cone.

After a hot lunch at Saddle Hut, we can make a short climb to the summit of Little Meru (3820m) for superb views just before sunset.

Dinner and overnight night at Saddle Hut

We start early at around 1:30 am to climb steeply to Rhino Point (3800m) and on to Cobra Point (4350m) We reach the summit (4566m) on time for sunrise there is a possibility to see Kilimanjaro Peak above the clouds. The final part of the climb is along a spectacular, narrow ridge line between the sheer inner cliffs and the sloping outer wall of the crater.

We take a short rest and brunch at Saddle Hut before continuing the descent to the way through open grassland and mixed forest, with the possibility of seeing wildlife before reaching Momella Gate in the late morning.

Have some game drive until evening, then drive back to Arusha or Airport.
