Mount Meru 4-Days Trek
What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Mount Meru, situated east of the Great Rift Valley and about 40 km southwest of Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania's Arusha National Park, is considered an active volcano and is the country's second-highest mountain. It is also considered the fourth highest mountain in all of Africa by some (after Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and the Rwenzoris - aka the Mountains of the Moon). 500,000+ years ago, Mount Meru erupted in a tremendous explosion that destroyed it's a cone shape and resulted in a horseshoe crater with the eastern side removed. The resulting mountain has its summit on the west side with its inner walls rising over 1,500m from the crater floor, making them among the tallest cliffs in Africa. In the past 100 years, eruptions have been reported as the Ash Cone continues to build inside the crater.

        Happu Happy! Kazi Nzuri, Kazi Safi!
        Most friendly staff. From Porters to cooks, guides, and finally Mr Wence the organiser! All went well from when Wence met us at the Hotel Lux Palace to meet and greet. The senior guides were led by Mr Msafiri, Rama, Allan, and the Junior guide, Mr Ronald. All did a commendable job ensuring that our team's needs were equally met. Even though some of us didn't seem to obey the rules of not running towards Kibo Hut, we managed to summit on Sunday, December 15th, 2024. My team is super excited about all the coordination and support. The porters did a good job ensuring that all our luggage was handled professionally. The cooks led by Pascal all ensured that we got 5-star meals on time. Keep up the good job team.

        Kilimanjaro my bucket list
        The porters, guide cooks made sure we were made to feel comfortable as possible during the challenging climb. It was an amazing experience difficult to put into words. Respect to the people that took such good care and made the journey up the mountain filled with humour. I was suppose to make this journey last year for personal reasons couldn’t. Intrepid made sure the deposit I paid last year was deducted from the trip this year. Wence lovely guy warm kind and gentle. Intrepid make sure aur needs were met at every point under the circumstances. A very biiiiig thank you to Wence and Team I loved my experience, returning next year as I will be better prepared and Mount Kilimanjaro is calling me

        Amazing and quite Rongai
        The Rongai route up is absolutely amazing, very quiet and awesome camping experience. The team, from guides to porters to chefs are incredible. The service was impecable and because we were under such good care we both submitted.

        Amazing Experience.
        Right from the online preparations through to the hike itself the team offered us top notch service. Timely airport transfers & lovely guest house stay. The guides were amazing with lovely meals & our safety being their priority all along the hike. I'd do it again with them.

        Top of Africa with the best entourage !!
        The whole experience was just amazing , a challenge of a life time and we had the best entourage to help us realise our dream of reaching the top. From the guides (Alan and Shefii) to the chef (J4) who made amazing food despite the weather conditions and the amazing porters especially (Paschal) who was just a gem, the most humble human you can come across and waited on us 5 star style . They all really took good care of us and helped us down after we summited when we had no energy to walk back down. There are no words to explain the whole experience ..it was simply an experience of a life time and one to never ever forget. We are so glad to have used this company and Wence’s team were just incredible. If you want an amazing experience from the moment they collect you from the airport to the moment they drop you back …this is the company for you. Can’t fault them and we are so grateful to have used them. Thank you so so much !!

        This is the group to ascend Kilimanjaro with, period.
        I went on the Lemosho Traverse of Kilimanjaro and the trip was led by Intrepid Travel (8 guests total in our group). I am writing this well-deserved review, but there will never be enough that can be said about how incredible our guides, our porters, our cooks, and just everybody on our team, was on this trip. They did the inconceivably difficult task of leading us up of the mountain, and not only this, they supported those who elected not to summit with love, empathy, and endless care to make sure that they too had an experience that was to their liking. So to say that they went above and beyond in the is truly the understatement of all understatements. The way they took care of us all along the way, making sure we had the most comfortable, enjoyable, and safe experience in the face of a mountain like this one is nothing short of heroic. Myself and the others who chose to summit would have had zero chance of making it to the top had it not been for this team, and not only of summiting, but of summiting and having a ton of fun and learning so much along the way. Most importantly, everyone on the team made sure to form true bonds with us and to make sure we were treated like family at the end of every increasingly difficult leg of the trek when we were in need of TLC. They didn’t want us to just summit, they actually wanted us to have an experience we would never want to forget, and they did everything they could and then some to make sure that happened, and they succeeded. If you are planning to head up Kilimanjaro, I would highly highly highly highly recommend booking a trek up with Intrepid. They are simply a group that, if you have the opportunity to have them by your side on your adventures, you do not pass it up.

        Balaji, solo hiker in machame route
        I didn't know the Intrepid Explorer and its owner Wenceslaus Tarimo. He was referred to me by my friend and i initiated the plan. W.Tarimo was always available on phone calls/messages to give full guidance about the trip, as i had known very little about it. He was polite and full of cooperation during the phone calls and also helped me in booking my local flight tickets and also in obtaining a Tanazania visa, I went as solo hiker in machame route, Mr.Tarimo arrange everything perfectly the Guide, porters, tent which helped me to summit Mt Kilimanjaro within 6 days. and arrange my other trip to hot water spring and arusha national park.

        an unforgettable trek up Mt Kilimanjaro
        We did the Umbwe route to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, and we had a fantastic experience. Our guides, porters and cook were all great and took exceptionally good care of us. Although the trek was configured as a 6 day itinerary, we were able to shorten it by several days, as we were experienced hikers, and our guides were happy to come up with an updated plan that better fit our fitness level and preferences. We brought our own gear, except we used the sleeping pads that were provided. The food was excellent, and we were very well fed. Our main guide, Shafi, was excellent -- knowledgeable, friendly, and good at keeping us informed and in the loop. The trek itself was incredible -- definitely a top lifetime experience for me. I would 100% recommend Intrepid Explorer. I would go with them again.
