Description

Embark on a 4-day women's trekking adventure to Mt. Meru. Enjoy wildlife encounters, lush forest trails, and panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. Head to Momella Gate, where your trek begins. Enjoy sweeping views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Momella Lakes as you hike. Spot giraffes, buffalo, and bushbucks before reaching Miriakamba Hut. In the evening, share stories and reflections around the campfire.

The next day, trek through lush forests alive with wildflowers and wildlife. The climb is steep, but the ridge rewards you with incredible views of the Meru Crater and Little Meru. After reaching Saddle Hut, enjoy a short acclimatization hike to Little Meru. This side hike gives you a chance to celebrate small wins together while preparing for the big summit day ahead.

Your summit adventure begins just after midnight with encouragement from your guides and fellow trekkers. The climb is demanding—gravel paths and rocky ridges—but every step is a reminder of your strength and perseverance. Reaching Socialist Peak at sunrise is the ultimate reward, with spectacular views stretching over Mt. Kilimanjaro and the sweeping landscapes below. After photos and celebration, descend back to Miriakamba Hut for a well-deserved rest.

On the final day, enjoy a leisurely descent through the southern route, passing through montane forest and the enchanting Fig Tree Arch. The final stretch is a chance to reflect on the friendships built, the challenges overcome, and the empowerment gained on this women-centered adventure. Transfer back to Arusha/Moshi for a relaxing evening.
