Mount Meru Grade
B (final 100m - C) Fully porter supported
Mount Meru is one of Africa's highest and most
beautiful volcanoes. The route to the summit
passes through parkland, montane forest, a giant
heather zone and moorland. Finally, the summit
is reached by a narrow, barren ridge which
provides stunning views of the Ash Cone lying
several thousand feet below in the crater and
Kilimanjaro in the background. Over 400 species
of birds, rhino, elephant, buffalo, baboon,
warthog, black and white Colobus monkey and
duiker are all found in this delightful "gem
amongst parks". The visit to the Ngurdoto crater
and Momella lakes, with their superb scenery,
flamingoes and other wildlife, is an
unforgettable experience.
The group will be accompanied on Mount Meru by a
Park Guide and porters. On the mountain we use
dormitory style huts. A sleeping bag and mat are
required for the huts.
Accommodation at Momella Lodge is an optional
extra. Momella lodge is located in Arusha Park.
This is a tough walking trip with some steep
terrain.
