Mt Meru Trek: 4 days/3 nights

Day 1: Arusha (1400m) – Miriakamba Hut (2500m)

After an 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.

arrive at camp, you have the option of hiking Little Mt. Meru (3820m) with your guide to further
