Mount Meru
Mount Meru is one of Africa's highest and most beautiful
volcanoes. The route to the summit passes through parkland,
montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland. Finally, the
summit is reached by a narrow, barren ridge which provides
stunning views of the Ash Cone lying several thousand feet below
in the crater and Kilimanjaro in the background. Over 400
species of birds, rhino, elephant, buffalo, baboon, warthog,
black and white Colobus monkey and duiker are all found in this
delightful 'gem amongst parks'. The visit to the Ngurdoto crater
and Momella lakes, with their superb scenery, flamingoes and
other wildlife, is an unforgettable experience.
The group will be accompanied on Mount Meru by a Park Guide and
porters. On the mountain we use dormitory style huts. A sleeping
bag and mat are required for the huts.
Accommodation at Momella Lodge is an optional extra. Momella
lodge is located in Arusha Park.
Day 1.
Arrive at the hotel near Moshi, overnight on bed and breakfast
basis. (Optional extra: start the trip by driving to Momella
Lodge, game drive en-route).
Day 2.
Drive to the park gate and walk through game-filled parkland up
to Miriakamba Hut, at 2470m. Along the way there are many fine
views; including Kilimanjaro from Miriakamba Hut.
Day 3.
The path passes through fine forests and heather to the Saddle
Hut, at 3500m, 3 hours walking. An ascent of Little Meru is
possible in the afternoon.

A very early start takes us first to a superb viewpoint on the
crater rim and then onto an airy ridge which leads up to the
summit. Return to Miriakamba.

Walk back to the Park Gates, 2 hours. Drive to the hotel near
Moshi.
