Mount Meru Tours & Trips

Imagine starting the climb on Mount Meru through dense forest, with monkeys moving in the trees. Camps like Miriakamba and Saddle break up the ascent, and higher up, Mawenzi Tarn sits beneath steep rock walls. You'll be amazed at the views at sunrise, stretching right across Kilimanjaro. The effort of the climb makes the quiet moments feel earned.

Last month, I did the 7-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route with Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris. And the experience was simply amazing. It all started in Arusha—the hotel, the hospitality, everything was perfect. I am impressed by the professionalism and sincerity of our guide and the entire crew team. The Rongai route is relatively quiet and less crowded, and the nature that it captures is truly breathtaking. After arriving at each camp, everything was ready for us in advance—food, water, and resting places. Every day the guide would check our body condition and measure the oxygen level so that we could reach the summit safely. I have never had such a beautiful, challenging, and relaxing experience in recent times. I am grateful to the entire team, especially our guide John, who was by our side throughout. If anyone dreams of conquering Kilimanjaro, I'd close my eyes and recommend Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris.

Spending 7 weeks in Tanzania at the moment, including 4 days/3 nights in Arusha National Park climbing Mt Meru. Stephen took me to me the Hadzabe People who still hunt with bows and arrows, then visited the Black Rhinos and African Wild Dogs in Mkomazi National Park. If you want to see the real Tanzania with or without the pre-packaged tourist trimmings, then Stephen and Adventure Makers are the guys for you.
