Located to the east of Arusha town, about 20 kilometers drive from Arusha; Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania. The mountain stands at an altitude of 4566 meters above sea level inside the Arusha National Park.
Meru has one route to the top and can be attempted for three days but we highly recommend doing for four days for acclimatization. Most alpines use Meru for acclimatization before the Kilimanjaro climb. The mountain has less snow formed at the volcano eruption.
Unlike Kilimanjaro when you are climbing the Mount Meru you have to be escorted by an armed ranger(s) as you pass through the Arusha National Park. It is at this time when you will enjoy the walking safari as you pass the groups of African buffaloes, Zebras, Black and white colobus monkey just little wildlife to mention.
The famous Big 5 animals consist of the lion, elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. The name Big 5 originally came from game hunters referring to the hardest animals to hunt on foot
Machame Route is also known as the “Whiskey” route. It is the second most popular and one of the most scenic routes on the mountain. All climbers sleep in tents (tents are included) and meals are served in a dinner tent or on a blanket outside.
It is done over 7 days, so acclimatization is easier, and the success rate is fairly high. It is for physically fit people with some hiking experience.
In our tour company, we don’t just take you on safari — we craft journeys that are personal, seamless, and deeply connected to the land. What sets our tours apart is the level of care we put into every detail, from handpicking trusted lodges that feel like home, to working with experienced local guides who know where to find the magic — whether it’s a lion pride resting under an acacia or a rare rhino sighting in the crater.
You won’t find cookie-cutter itineraries here. Each tour is tailor-made to fit your travel style, budget, and pace — with the flexibility to add special touches like a hot air balloon ride, cultural visits, or even last-minute changes when needed.
Most importantly, we treat every guest like family. We’re with you every step of the way — before, during, and after the safari — ensuring you feel safe, supported, and inspired. That’s the Goldfinch difference: personal, passionate, and profoundly unforgettable.
