5-Day Mount Meru Hike from Arusha with Wildlife in Arusha National Park

• Upon arrival at the airport, your tour representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha.
• Refresh and relax.

• Depart from your hotel in Arusha in the morning.
• Drive to Arusha National Park, which takes approximately 45 minutes. The lively vegetation in the park is exceptionally diverse.
• Our first waypoint is Miriakamba. You will be accompanied by an armed ranger and a professional mountain guide throughout the walk.
• During the walk, encounter abundant wildlife, including buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and gazelles. Your guide will identify the different bird species you come across. There is also a possibility of seeing leopards or elephants, although they tend to be more reserved than those in the Serengeti.
• Stop at Miriakamba Hut, where we will spend the night and enjoy a delicious dinner.

• Start the day with an energetic breakfast and follow the steep path to Saddle Hut.
• Upon arrival, have dinner.

Since you will wake up at midnight to hike to the summit of Mount Meru, it is recommended to sleep shortly after dinner.

• Begin the final leg of our journey to the peak of Mount Meru around midnight. Your headlamp will assist you in the early hours of the hike. Reaching the summit is the most challenging part of the journey because the trail is exceedingly steep. We have allocated some time for photos and a moment to comprehend what you have achieved.
• Briefly stop at Saddle Hut for lunch.
• Hike along the Meru cloud forest trail. This trail tends to be slippery, so it is essential to step carefully.
• A Papagei Tours vehicle will transport you from Momela Gate back to where you began.

• Transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward journey.
