Arusha / Moshi – Momella Gate – Miriakamba Hut

Your Mount Meru trekking adventure begins with a morning departure from Arusha or Moshi to Momella Gate in Arusha National Park, the starting point of the trek. After registration and a briefing from your mountain guide and park ranger, begin the hike through beautiful open grasslands and dense montane forest. Along the way, trekkers often encounter wildlife such as giraffes, buffaloes, colobus monkeys, and various bird species, making this trek unique compared to other mountain climbs. The trail gradually ascends through scenic landscapes toward Miriakamba Hut (2,514 m). This first day trek takes about 4–5 hours and offers fantastic views of Mount Meru’s volcanic slopes. Upon arrival at the hut, relax, enjoy a warm meal prepared by your trekking team, and take in the peaceful surroundings of Arusha National Park.

After breakfast, continue your Mount Meru climb toward Saddle Hut (3,570 m). The trail becomes steeper as you pass through forest and heather vegetation zones while enjoying incredible views of the Meru Crater and Ash Cone. This section of the trek takes about 3–4 hours and helps your body acclimatize to higher altitude. Upon arrival at Saddle Hut, enjoy lunch and rest while taking in the dramatic volcanic landscapes surrounding you. In the afternoon, an optional short hike to Little Meru (3,820 m) provides spectacular views of the surrounding plains and the distant Mount Kilimanjaro. This acclimatization hike is highly recommended as it prepares you for the summit attempt. Return to Saddle Hut for dinner and an early rest before the summit climb.
