Mount Meru Trekking Tour in Tanzania
Climb through mountain forest, sleep in mountain huts and follow a volcanic crater ridge towards Tanzania’s second-highest summit. A Mount Meru trekking tour takes you into Arusha National Park, where the lower slopes offer opportunities to spot wildlife before the landscape opens into high mountain terrain.
Roy Safaris’ four-day trek starts from Arusha and follows the route through Miriakamba Hut and Saddle Hut to Mount Meru’s summit at approximately 4,566 metres. On a clear morning, the summit rewards your effort with views of the Ash Cone, crater walls and Mount Kilimanjaro across the horizon.

Is Mount Meru the Right Trek for You?
Mount Meru suits travellers who want a substantial mountain adventure within a shorter itinerary. Its location also makes it possible to combine trekking with time exploring northern Tanzania.
The climb requires preparation. Consider your experience of consecutive hiking days, steep descents and walking at altitude when discussing the itinerary with our team. Share any previous trekking experience so we can help you assess whether this route fits your plans.
Mountain Hut Accommodation
The trek uses Miriakamba Hut and Saddle Hut. These mountain stops are part of the trekking experience, so plan for practical overnight accommodation rather than hotel comforts.
Before booking, ask our team about sleeping arrangements, the equipment you need to bring and what your quotation includes.
Planning Your Trek
Allow time to discuss your preferred dates, group size and travel arrangements before confirming the climb. If you are considering Mount Meru before Kilimanjaro, tell us about your full itinerary so that both climbs can be considered together.
You can also explore our Arusha National Park guide for ideas beyond the mountain.
