The Momella-Route is currently the only legal route to Meru's summit. Before the Arusha National Park was substantially extended to include some lower parts, there were also routes from the W and the N. The route is a hike and no technical climbing is required at any point.

### 1st day

Heading off from Momella Gate to Miriakamba Hut (2514m) - T2

### 2nd day

From Miriakamba Hut to Saddle Hut (3566m) - T3

### 3rd day

From Saddle Hut via Rhino Point and crater rim to the summit (T4) and back to Miriakamba Hut.

### 4th day

- Fit hikers with good knees can easily accomplish the route in 3 days, just descending from the summit all the way to Momella Gate.
- There are no particular difficulties, but if the summit has just received some snow, the ascent may become somewhat delicate.
- It's a high altitude climb, so respective precautions should be taken.

<p>Mount Meru, or Socialist Peak as it is also called, is part of the &#8220;Arusha National Park&#8221;. Currently, there is only one allowed route to the summit which starts from Momella Gate and approaches the summit from the E. The climb (and decent) usually takes 3 to 4 days.</p> <p>Although Mount Meru is often only considered the &#8220;small brother&#8221; of Kilimanjaro, the peak is a worthwile climb on its own rather than a pure acclimatisation tour for Kili. The climb offers spendid landscapes, flora of all different climatic zones and usually some game watching in the lower part.</p> <p>There is quite a lot of information on <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/150789/mount-meru.html">summitpost</a> with a route description and several trip reports.</p>
