6-Day Mount Meru Climb through Momella Route Guided Tour
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Magnetized by Mt Kilimanjaro, the hikers often overlook Mt Meru, the second highest peak of Tanzania. Towering over Arusha National Park, Mount Meru offers both an excellent warm-up exercise for Kilimanjaro, in addition to being a stunning trekking experience in the wild by its own right.
Mount Meru trekking is a real adventure. The slopes of this dormant (yet active - the last eruption was in 1910) volcano offer fascinating panoramic vistas and bustling wildlife around.
This volcano was “born” around 500,000 years ago, and its very first eruption virtually exploded its eastern side, creating its, peculiar appearance. In addition to that, Mt Meru has one of the deepest craters - over 1,500 meters!
Our licensed, Wilderness First Responder-certified mountain guides will be leading your way. Altezza Travel mountain crew will take care of all camping arrangements, meals and other expedition essentials.
Unlike a shorter 3-day variation, this Mt Meru features an extra on the descent.
Itinerary

Kilimanjaro Region
24 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeArrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where you will meet an our representative, and transfer to "Aishi Machame" or "Altezza Lodge" hotel in Moshi.

Trekking from Momella Gate to Miriakamba Hut
Mount Meru
8 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedEarly in the morning you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred 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). 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 (2,500 m), your chef will prepare a hot dinner and warm water for you.- AccommodationsOvernight stay in a mountain hut on Mount MeruFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner

Trekking from Saddle Hut to Socialist Peak and Descent to Miriakamba Hut
Mount Meru
12 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedSummiting has an early start at around 00:00. There is a 1-hour steep climb to Rhino Point (3,800 m), then the path continues along a ridge of ash and rock to reach Cobra Point (4,350 m). The summit of Socialist Peak (4,562 m) is an hour further on a steep path with magnificent views of Kilimanjaro. Depending on your speed, you can enjoy sunrise at Cobra Point or the summit. The views are stunning: the cliffs of the Crater rim, the Ash Cone rising from the crater floor, Kilimanjaro floating on the morning clouds, and the Rift Valley. The route back to Rhino Point in the morning light along a narrow ridge between the sloping outer wall of the crater and the cliffs of the inner wall is one of the most dramatic and exhilarating walks in Africa. Brunch and a brief rest is taken at Saddle Hut before continuing the descent to Miriakamba Hut for overnight stay.- AccommodationsOvernight in a mountain hut on Mount MeruFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
