Mount Meru (4,568 m) in Arusha National Park is ideal for acclimatization before climbing Kilimanjaro, offering stunning scenery and wildlife spotting opportunities.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) and transfer to Arusha Merves Hotel. Enjoy leisure time, attend a pre-climb briefing, equipment check, and confirm travel insurance and medical coverage.
Drive from Arusha to Momela Gate, complete registration, then begin a guided walk with armed rangers, spotting elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and antelopes along the way.
Hike from Miriakamba Hut to the Saddle below Little Meru, enjoying spectacular views of Meru Crater and Ash Cone. After lunch, optionally climb Little Meru (3,820 m) for stunning sunset vistas.
Begin an early ascent at 1:30 a.m., climbing to Rhino Point (3,800 m) and Cobra Point (4,350 m) to reach Mount Meru’s summit (4,566 m) for sunrise, with possible views of Kilimanjaro. After brunch at Saddle Hut, descend back to Miriakamba Hut.
Descend into the Great Barranco, then climb the steep Barranco Wall. Pass under Heim and Kersten glaciers, continue through arid scree to Karanga Valley, and proceed to Barafu Camp.
Arusha to Kilimanjaro International Airport, a private departure transfer is included. E-mail us at any time to discuss your trip and get an accurate quotation.
A gentle trek takes us down through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, where we complete park formalities and receive certificates, which you can hang up with pride! We are then met by our vehicles and return to the hotel in Moshi, where you can treat yourself to a welcome shower (and a cold beer or two!) before our big celebration. Overnight at the Weru Weru River Lodge (or alternative).
The day is left free to wind down after the trek before your flight home. Depending on flight times you could go and explore Moshi town and grab some souvenirs before heading to the airport. * We also welcome you spare an hour of your day to plant a tree, as part of our environmental conservation efforts in the Kilimanjaro region. Safari and Zanzibar add-ons are available if you wish to continue exploring Tanzania
