The Route
Overview
The Kilimanjaro + Mount Meru Combo is the ultimate mountain expedition for serious trekkers. By summiting Meru (4,566m) first, you give your body a head start on altitude acclimatization before attempting Kilimanjaro (5,895m) — resulting in our highest summit success rate of any package at 92%.
The trek begins with the 4-day Mount Meru expedition, ascending through Arusha National Park's diverse ecosystems with wildlife encounters on the lower slopes. After a rest day in Moshi, you begin the 7-day Machame Route on Kilimanjaro — already partially acclimatized and mentally prepared.
This combo is ideal for trekkers who want the ultimate challenge, have the time (12 days total), and want to maximize their chances of summiting Kilimanjaro. It's also excellent value — the combined price is less than booking each trek separately.
Our guides are experienced in managing the physical and mental demands of back-to-back mountain expeditions, ensuring you're properly supported throughout both treks.
