Mount Meru Climb: Momella Route

Dinner and overnight at Planet Lodge or Gold Crest Hotel.

After breakfast your guides will come to collect you and you will drive from the lodge to Momella village/gate. After registering at the gate you will begin by entering the forest. Living up to its name, there is a possibility of rain in the forest, which may transform the trail into a rather muddy and slippery experience.

This day’s climb will be short, but significantly steeper as you make your way out of the Mountain forest and on to Meru’s half-way point known as Elephant Ridge. Further on you will come across stands of giant heather, and should be able to enjoy views of both the crater floor and the summit ridge. Lunch will be provided upon your arrival at the camp and you can use the rest of the afternoon to explore the surrounding areas and relax. For the more adventurous, you can also have a go at “little Meru” which stands at 3820 metres. The sunsets at both Saddle Hut and Little Meru are amazing so be sure to have your camera handy.

SADDLE HUT (AT 3,840M) to SOCIALIST PEAK (AT 4,566M) to MIRIAKAMBA HUT (AT 2,514M)

Taking a more direct route to the Gate, you will have the opportunity to see more wildlife as you make your way out of the National Park. Once at the gate, you will be picked up and brought back to Lodge for a well deserved meal.

After breakfast transfer to Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport where our service ends.
