Standing at 4,566m high, Mount Meru Climb in Tanzania is an unforgettable experience. Although standing over 1000 meters shorter than Kilimanjaro, this beautiful mountain offers views and wildlife sightings that are unparalleled in Tanzania.
Even with its incredible views, scenery and wildlife, Meru is often overlooked due to its location. 70km away stands Meru’s big brother – Kilimanjaro.
As a warm-up for Kilimanjaro going for a Mount Meru climb is a great idea. Located within the Arusha National Park, there are amazing wildlife views at the lower reaches of Mount Meru. You will be able to see a wide variety of birds, monkeys, warthogs, buffaloes and giraffes. The lack of crowd is another bonus of climbing Mount Meru.
There is only one official route for the Mount Meru climb and it is called the ‘Momella route’. The route can be covered in 3 Days Mount Meru Climb however for better acclimatisation, 4 Days Mount Meru Climb is recommended.
Of course you can add separate days for arrival and departure. It is advisable to keep your trip longer, 5-6 days for enjoying the journey and not getting sick in case you are reaching here after long flight hours.
The only accommodation on Mt Meru is the Saddle Hut and Miriakamba Hut which fill up well in advance. For those planning trips in the peak season, it is advised to pack a lightweight tent. Other accommodations include Hatari Lodge, Meru Mbega Lodge, Meru View Lodge and MeruSimba Lodge which are in and around Arusha National Park.

All our game drives were excellent and the stays what we stayed were all unique in its own way they were very very beautiful. Thank you for all the help and for all the experiences you gave us which we cannot forget in our life time.
We got a very warm welcome at the airport , team picked up the luggage and load it to the vehicle. We were a group of 10 people, adults and kids. They arranged a small bus to take us to the hotel very comfortably and safely.
Everything was perfect. Unbelievable experience and totally recommendable to everyone who wants to do Safari.It was also amazing the capability of spotting animals while driving! We would definitely recommend them to go for a Safari around Arusha Region.
it was amazing, all the team take care about we could see animals as many as possible, feel comfortable, and take delicious meals every day. We spend 4 days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Gnorongoro and I think is one of the best things I ever do.
