We'll meet at the airport, where a guide will be waiting to take you to the hotel in Arusha. Once we're settled in, we'll meet the expert hiking guides to learn about the main safety guidelines during the ascent.
Afterwards, we'll have dinner at the hotel and you'll be able to rest until the next day when our adventure in Mount Meru will begin.
After having breakfast and preparing our hiking equipment, we'll set out for Momella Gate, the entrance to Mount Meru Natural Park. From this point on, a forest ranger will escort us so that we can safely enjoy the presence of wild animals along the way.
As we continue along the 10 km (6 mi) route, we'll have the opportunity to see elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys and antelopes in their natural habitat - a surely unforgettable memory! After about 6 hours of hiking, we'll rest at the Miriakamba Hut camp, have dinner and spend the night.
On the second day of the ascent, we'll face the steepest climb of the route and travel 8 km (5 mi) along the peak of Mount Meru. Here, we'll enjoy privileged views of the mountain's crater. The day will be spent hiking in ashy surroundings, characteristic of this inactive volcano.
We'll then have a hot meal at the Saddle Hut. If you wish, we can take a short hike to the top of Little Meru peak to enjoy the views of the mountain at sunset. We'll have dinner at the camp and rest until the next day.
On the third day of the route, we'll reach the summit of Mount Meru. To do so, we'll hike for more than 5 km (3 mi). Once at the top, we'll delight in the views of Kilimanjaro and have the opportunity to appreciate the crater as well as the inner cliffs from the heights.
Before starting the descent, we'll have a meal at the Saddle Hut camp and then cover the 13 km (8 mi) of descent through arid trails. We'll spend the night and have dinner at the Meriakamba Hut camp.
On the last day of the route, we'll finish the descent by walking through the meadows and forests of the mountainside. Before reaching the Momella Gate in the late morning, we'll enjoy the wildlife of this area of Tanzania during the 10 km (6 mi) route.
Back at Momella Gate, we'll head to the hotel in Arusha for dinner and rest after a great adventure through Mount Meru.
For the first and final night of the hike, we'll stay at the Maura Apartments & Lodges in Arusha.
