Your hotel will be picked up and you will be driven to Momella Gate in Arusha National Park. The first day of hiking is similar to a walking safari, and you can expect to see giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and possibly elephants near the trail. Due to the high likelihood of encountering wildlife, we must hike with an armed ranger. As you continue your hike. When you arrive at Miriakamba Hut (2500m), your Chef will prepare a hot dinner for you as well as washing water. Take advantage of the overnight.

After breakfast, you’ll begin ascending the steep trail along the saddle’s ridge. You might see some wildlife along the way! Views of Mt. Meru Crater and the Ash Tray can be had from the trail. When you arrive at camp, you can acclimate further by hiking Little Mt. Meru (3820m) with your guide. You will be served an early dinner so that you can rest thoroughly before your midnight summit attempt. By 1900, you should be asleep.

At 00:30, your guide will wake you up for tea and biscuits. At 1:30 a.m., you will begin your summit attempt. The trail begins with a steep ascent to Rhino Point (3800m) and then descends to Cobra Point (4350m). The final hour of the hike will be spent scrambling on a rocky ridge between Meru’s crater and inner cliffs. At sunrise, you will reach Meru’s summit (4565m), with spectacular views of Mt. Meru Ash Tray and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Enjoy the scenery before descending to Saddle Hut for a short break. After that, you’ll continue descending to Miriakamba Hut (2500m) for dinner and an overnight stay.

We will begin our final descent to Momella gate after a long rest and breakfast. We’ll go on a hike through the woods and meadows, where we might see some wildlife. Our driver will meet you at the base of Mt. Meru and drive you back to Arusha.
