3 Days Mount Meru Climb
3 Days Mount Meru Climb Overview
Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, rising to approximately 4,566 metres inside Arusha National Park. The climb combines montane forest, moorland, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and spectacular views toward Mount Kilimanjaro. It is also an excellent trekking experience on its own or as preparation for a Kilimanjaro climb.
The standard ascent follows the Momella Route, with overnight stays at Miriakamba Hut and Saddle Hut before the summit attempt. The four-day itinerary allows a more gradual ascent than the shorter option and includes time for acclimatization
