Gemagnetiseerd door de Kilimanjaro, zien de wandelaars vaak Mt Meru, de op een na hoogste top van Tanzania, over het hoofd. Torenhoog boven Arusha National Park biedt Mount Meru zowel een uitstekende warming-up oefening voor de Kilimanjaro, als een prachtige trekkingervaring in het wild op zich.
Mount Meru trekking is een echt avontuur. De hellingen van deze slapende (maar toch actieve - de laatste uitbarsting was in 1910) vulkaan bieden fascinerende panorama's en een bruisend wildleven rondom.
Deze vulkaan werd ongeveer 500.000 jaar geleden "geboren", en zijn allereerste uitbarsting deed zijn oostelijke kant vrijwel exploderen, waardoor hij zijn eigenaardige uiterlijk kreeg. Bovendien heeft Mt Meru een van de diepste kraters - meer dan 1.500 meter!
In the morning you will go to Arusha National Park, and then straight to the trailhead. The ride takes approximately 2.5-3 hours.
At Momella Gate the guides will arrange the entry permit formalities, and you will start trekking to Miriakamba Huts. Wild animals (warthogs, zebras, monkeys, antelopes and, sometimes, elephants) are likely to be seen on the way.
Hot lunch will be served upon arrival to Miriakamba Huts. There you may rest or explore the surroundings.
After the breakfast, the group will start trekking to Saddle Huts. The rainforest zone will end soon, giving place to heath and moorland with large trees. The trail will open amazing panoramic vistas.
Upon reaching the saddle huts, those who are willing and energetic enough may reach the Little Meru Peak, further boosting your acclimatization transition.
Our team will serve hot lunch and dinner in the camp
Midnight wake-up and the group starts trekking to the Socialist Peak. The hikers should be prepared for a tough and strenuous hike - the legs to Rhino Point and Cobra points are especially precipitous. Be careful!
The group will reach Socialist Peak (4,565 m/14,977 m) by sunrise, where you’ll have true visual euphoria - thrilling panoramic sceneries around and mesmerizing sunrise.
After the summit time, the group will descend to Miriakamba Huts for a hot lunch then after descend to Momella Gate. Our car will be waiting there for your party for transfer to the hotel/Airport.
