Transfer from your hotel to Arusha National Park, pay the necessary fees, and then drive to the Momella Gate to begin your trek. You’ll be accompanied by an armed ranger as you see buffalo, warthogs, and elephants. The ascent continues through sub-montane forest, passing a massive Strangler Fig tree that cars can drive through! You continue through the less dense montane forest after lunch. Views of Meru, towering cliffs, and Ash Cone are spectacular. The Miriakamba Huts are located in a pleasant glade where you will be able to enjoy the spectacular views of the plains between Meru and Kilimanjaro.

The crater rim is a steep climb from the Miriakamba Huts. Then you take a steep path through the montane forest to reach the giant Ericas in the Moorland zone, which is located around the saddle between Little Meru and Meru. When you arrive at the Saddle Huts, lunch will be ready. Your afternoon is free to relax and take in the scenery, but energetic hikers can make the short climb to the summit of Little Meru (3,820 m/) for stunning views just before sunset.

Hike for another hour on a steep path to reach Meru’s summit. After brunch and a well-deserved rest, continue your descent to the Miriakamba Huts, where you will spend the night.
