4 Day Mt Meru Trekking Tour + 2 night’s hotel stay

Day 1: Momella Gate to Momella Hut
Your adventure begins at the Momella Gate, situated at 1,500 meters above sea level. The first day’s hike is relatively easy, taking about 4-5 hours to cover a distance of 10 kilometers. You’ll walk through lush forests and open grasslands, with the possibility of spotting wildlife like giraffes, buffalo, and various bird species along the way. By the end of the day, you’ll reach Momella Hut, located at 2,500 meters, where you’ll spend the night and rest for the next day’s journey.

Day 2: Momella Hut to Saddle Hut
Day 2 brings a steeper ascent as you hike from Momella Hut to Saddle Hut, located at 3,500 meters. This 6-kilometer trek will take around 4-6 hours and offers a more challenging terrain, with the trail passing through alpine meadows and dense forest. As you gain altitude, the views of the surrounding landscape become even more spectacular. The night at Saddle Hut allows your body to adjust to the higher altitude, ensuring you’re ready for the summit attempt the following day.

Day 3: Saddle Hut to Summit (Uhuru Peak) and Back to Saddle Hut
Day 3 is the longest and most challenging part of the trek. You’ll start early, usually around midnight, to give yourself the best chance to reach Uhuru Peak (4,566 meters) at sunrise. The climb is tough, covering rocky terrain and scree slopes, and it can take anywhere from 10-12 hours to complete. Reaching the summit offers spectacular panoramic views, including a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. After celebrating your achievement, you’ll descend back to Saddle Hut for a well-earned rest.

Day 4: Saddle Hut to Momella Gate
On the final day, you’ll make the descent back to Momella Gate, a 10-kilometer hike that takes around 4-5 hours. The trail is much easier as you return through the forests and meadows, giving you one last opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the area. Upon reaching the gate, your trek concludes, and you’ll be transported back to Arusha, where you can reflect on your incredible accomplishment and the amazing experience of summiting Mount Meru.
