Tour Overview

Everything you need to know about this adventure

Join Cushy Adventures for a 4‑day, 3‑night trek to Mount Meru’s Socialist Peak (4,562M ASL) via the Momella Route. This adventure blends wildlife encounters, diverse habitats, and high‑altitude trekking, making it a perfect stand‑alone experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Plus 2 travel days.
The Mount Meru Trekking Itinerary begins with travel from Nairobi to Arusha, where hikers prepare for the climb. Starting at Momella Gate (1,500M ASL), the trail winds through Arusha National Park, offering wildlife encounters with giraffes, buffalo, and zebras. The first night at Miriakamba Hut (2,514M ASL) provides shelter with views of the Momella Lakes. Day two leads to Saddle Hut (3,570M ASL), set in alpine moorland between the summit and Little Meru. This camp is known for crisp mountain air and starry skies, with an optional acclimatization hike to Little Meru (3,820M ASL) for sweeping panoramas. Summit day begins at midnight, climbing along a dramatic crater ridge to Socialist Peak (4,566M ASL). Sunrise reveals Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s vast plains. After celebrating, trekkers descend to Saddle Hut for a hot meal, then continue to Miriakamba Hut for the final night. The last trekking day is a gentle descent through forest, with more wildlife sightings before exiting at Momella Gate. The adventure concludes with travel back from Arusha to Nairobi, completing a journey that blends wilderness, wildlife, and high‑altitude achievement.
