6 Days Mount Meru

Following breakfast, we'll embark on the first leg of our adventure. We'll drive from the hotel to Arusha National Park, where our hike begins. On the way we come across the unique and huge fig tree arch. Admire the beauty of the tree in the silence of the surroundings. The climb takes us across open, arid savannahs, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Keep an eye out for majestic buffalo herds grazing in their natural habitat, and enjoy the thrill of encountering other wildlife species up close. An armed ranger will accompany us for added safety. In the evening, relax and soak in the spectacular views of the vast African landscape from the comfort of the well-maintained hut.

From here, we also have the option to climb an additional 300 meters to Little Meru, which takes about 45 minutes. This optional ascent offers an extra altitude challenge, as well as breathtaking views of Mount Meru, Arusha National Park, and the awe-inspiring Kilimanjaro Massif. Regardless of whether we tackle Little Meru, we'll retire early to rest up for the following day's activities, looking forward to the incredible experiences ahead.

The panorama from this vantage point is truly magnificent, presenting the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos of Mount Kilimanjaro, the African plains, and the surrounding landscape. Afterward, we'll retrace our steps and descend to Saddle Hut, where we'll spend the night, relishing the memories of our spectacular summit day.
