3 days Mount Meru Trekking Itineraries
2Mt. Meru is located in the heart of Arusha
National Park and it is 50 miles west of Mt.
Kilimanjaro. Mt. Meru is a massive volcano
reaching 14,980 feet (4,565 meters). This trek
serves as an ideal warm up for Mt. Kilimanjaro
due to its altitude acclimatization and hiking
distances. This trek is also geared towards
hikers that prefer less crowds and a challenging
ascent.
- Arusha Miriakamba Hut
- After early morning breakfast in Arusha (1400m),
you will be picked up from your hotel and brought
to the Momella Gate in Arusha National Park. At
this time, the porters will organize and pack the
belongings for the hike while you and your guide
register with the Tanzania National Park
(TANAPA). You will then begin your ascent in
Arusha National Park. The first day of hiking is
similar to a walking safari you should expect to
see giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and
potentially elephants near the trail. Due to the
high possibility of spotting wildlife, an armed
ranger, hired through the National Park, is
required to hike with our team for the duration
of the hike. As you continue hiking, you will
pass the Ngarenanyuki River and a beautiful
waterfall at the base of Mt. Meru. Upon arriving
to Miriakamba Hut (2500m), your chef will prepare
a hot dinner and washing water for you. Enjoy the
beautiful sunset and overnight.
