ARUSHA - MOMELLA GATE - MIRIAKAMBA HUTS
Arusha National Park - You’ll be picked up from your Arusha hotel and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park, where you’ll go through the necessary pre-climb formalities.
Today’s hiking takes you across the open grasslands of the park in the company of an armed ranger. As you’re inside a national park, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting game such as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, monkeys, and much more during the day.
In the afternoon, you’ll begin to climb into the rainforest, where you’ll overnight in the Miriakamba huts.
Arusha National Park - You’ll pass from the lush rainforest and into the more spartan heath zone today, with giant clumps of heather and other moorland scrub dotting the terrain.
Hiking along the ridge of the Mount Meru Crater, you’ll have breathtaking views of both the crater and the Ash Tray.
For those with a little extra energy, there’s the option to ascend to the peak of Little Mount Meru for a panoramic view of Arusha and its surroundings.

You will travel through natural fauna, with a breathtaking view of the surroundings, and the break of dawn at the top provides a stunning silhouette of Kilimanjaro. Meru is an excellent preparatory hike for those looking to scale Kilimanjaro, or a wonderful exploration for those who choose not to.
While Kilimanjaro is the primary highlight in Tanzania, Mt. Meru equally deserves your consideration.
Though it stands 4,000 feet shorter than Kilimanjaro, the solitary Mt. Meru still presents a remarkable sight and serves as a difficult practice hike or a standalone point of interest.
The regulation on Mt. Meru encourages various tour groups to unite on the lower terrains.
For those with a tight schedule, the three-day alternative enables you to reach the apex over an extended weekend.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
