At 4,566 m Mt Meru is the fifth highest mountain on the African continent and the second highest in Tanzania. About 250,000 years ago, a massive volcanic eruption blew away the entire eastern flank of the mountain and left it with the distinctive appearance it has today.
The mountain became well known mainly because it is only 70 km from Mount Kilimanjaro. Mt. Meru has become a popular "warm up" trek for Kilimanjaro climbers.
Mt. Meru is located within Arusha National Park, and usually the climber can start the trip from Moshi or Arusha, in Northern Tanzania. This major location provides Mount Meru climbers the chance to spot some wildlife that naturally inhabits the area.
The ascend is fairly steep and the route to the summit passes over watercourse, through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland.
The summit is made by a narrow, barren ridge, which gives spectacular views of the Ash Cone lying several thousand feet below in the crater.
Africa is very big, sometimes it is difficult to decide on where to go for vacation because of your schedule and the number of days you have available. This tour will suit any person who would like to explore Tanzania's fantastic nature and wildlife!
In just 6 days you will get to explore the North of Tanzania that will give you an opportunity to explore the famous Serengeti National Park which is one of the oldest national parks on earth and it is most well-known for its annual wildlife migration. You will be going on safaris in the famous Ngorongoro Crater and visit Tarangire National Park which is the home of a variety of Carnivores, Herbivores and Predators. The park also has many baobab trees and elephants. Don't think too much about the limited number of days you have for your safari, with us six days will be more than enough.
This tour includes full-board accommodation during the safaris, bed-and-breakfast at the Ilboru Lodge, 4x4 safari vehicle, driver guide, all necessary park entry fees, airport transfers, coffee, tea and bottled water during the safaris.
For a detailed day-by-day itinerary we kindly refer you to the 'Itinerary' tab. We look forward to providing you fantastic Game Drives aka Safaris in our home-country - Tanzania.

Seif was absolutely great! We had a great chat on the walk from the hotel to the pier. The lads on the boat were such a laugh. We enjoyed it so so much. Thanks to everyone!
Known as the "Coca-Cola" route, the Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest, most well established route. Many favor the Marangu route because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations.
The minimum days required for this route is five, although the probability of successfully reaching the top in that time period is quite low. Spending an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended when climbing Klimanjaro using the Marangu route.
However, despite its immense popularity, we avoid leading climbs on the Marangu route. The route has the least scenic variety of all the routes because the ascent and descent are done on the same path and it is the most crowded route for that reason. Marangu is favored during the rainy season, where the hut accommodations are preferred over wet ground, or for those who only have five days to climb Kilimanjaro.
NB: With small Additional cost we can book for you accommodation before or/and after summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.

We used local travel specialists and service was outstanding. We had good nutrition and a competent guide, which is all that is needed. We took a guided town tour of Moshi before our climb, which was a great cultural experience. We totally recommend Rongai route for Kilimanjaro Hiking.
Our great guide, Musa, met us at our hotel and we left together with Seif who drove us around to see the most important sites pertaining to the slave trade on the main island.
The sites were incredibly interesting to see but it was Musa's detailed explanations and discussion which really helped us out everything into context.
We thank Musa for his excellent company, a gentleman of old :) We highly recommend this tour.
