Mount Meru

Your hotel pickup happens at 8AM from Arusha, then you're driven to Momella Gate where registration gets sorted and a park ranger joins your group.

By afternoon you'll reach Miriakampa Hut with views stretching across the plains toward Kilimanjaro.
Day 2: Miriakampa Hut to Saddle Hut

This day involves a steep, sustained climb from Miriakampa Hut through montane forest. You'll see hygenium abyssinica, nuxia congesta, podocarpus, and hypericum tevolutum trees draped in mosses and lichens covering the path. Around midday the landscape shifts as you reach the alpine zone and arrive at Saddle Hut.
Day 3: Saddle Hut Summit Trek and Descent
8h · Admission ticket included
An intense morning push takes you steeply to Rhino Point at 3800m/12,467ft, then the trail follows a narrow ridge of ash and rock to Cobra Point at 4350m/14,272ft. After enjoying brunch back at Saddle Hut, you'll retrace your steps descending to Miriakamba Hut for the night.
Day 4: Descent to Momella Gate and Return to Arusha
Momella Lakes
8h · Admission ticket included
After a relaxed morning, you'll take the direct descent through open grassland which takes 2 to 3 hours. By late morning Momella Gate appears where you'll get your summit certificate and say goodbye to your crew. A short picnic lunch follows, then a game drive before heading back to Arusha.
