The 4-day Meru Momela Trek is a scenic and moderately challenging hike on Mount Meru inside Arusha National Park. It’s perfect for adventurers seeking a shorter climb than Kilimanjaro while still enjoying stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and panoramic views of Mount Meru’s summit, crater, and neighboring Mount Kilimanjaro. The route passes through forests alive with giraffes, buffaloes, colobus monkeys, and birdlife, leading to dramatic volcanic scenery near the summit.
