Tour Description

Eighty kilometers (50 miles) west of Mount Kilimanjaro is an often overlooked, but spectacular volcano. Mount Meru (4,565 m / 14,980 ft) serves as a great warm-up before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m / 19,341 ft). In fact, it is ideal for altitude acclimatization and you may choose to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a fewer number of days after climbing Mt.Meru.
On the lower slopes of the mountain and inside the park, there is a good chance of spotting animals. A park ranger will accompany your group on the first stage to protect against any wildlife threats. The trail follows the north rim of the crater, along a dramatic ridgeline. Once at the summit, the views of Mount Kilimanjaro and down into Meru crater are unforgettable.

We’ll pick you up at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Then you will spend one night in a hotel in Moshi. The trekking begins the following day at the Momella Gate.

On all of our tours, all of our meals are freshly prepared on the mountain by our talented chef, so when we arrive to camp after a long day of hiking, we have a delicious hot meal waiting for us.
Please note: we can accommodate any dietary needs, so please let us know what your meal requirements are and we will be sure to have our chef whip you up something yummy!

All of our guides have extensive experience and training, certification, and knowledge of the area and all of the routes. You’ll be in great hands from top to bottom and by the end of the trip, you’ll be sad to say goodbye! Depending on the number of hikers, there will be generally 1 guide for every 2 people and 3 porters per person.
