Overview
This 6-day itinerary combines a full Mount Meru climb with a genuine taste of safari, all within Arusha National Park and the surrounding Northern Circuit — a good option if your schedule doesn't stretch to a full Kilimanjaro-and-safari combination but you still want both a real mountain climb and proper wildlife viewing.
The climb portion follows the standard Meru route over several days, reaching the 4,566m summit before descending back to Arusha. The safari days that follow cover nearby game-viewing areas, giving you a complete, well-rounded trip without the time commitment a Kilimanjaro-based combo requires.
It's a genuinely good fit for travelers who want a real physical achievement alongside their wildlife safari, without dedicating the better part of two weeks to it.
Contact us to book this combined itinerary, or see our Meru and safari combo guide for more on how the two halves fit together.
