Mount Meru Tour Companies

Spending 7 weeks in Tanzania at the moment, including 4 days/3 nights in Arusha National Park climbing Mt Meru. Stephen took me to me the Hadzabe People who still hunt with bows and arrows, then visited the Black Rhinos and African Wild Dogs in Mkomazi National Park. If you want to see the real Tanzania with or without the pre-packaged tourist trimmings, then Stephen and Adventure Makers are the guys for you.

Just back from a 6 day trek with my 25 year old son climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Absolutley amazing experience with an excellent support crew led by Micheal and Nelson. A very well orginised trip from start to finish and would definatley highly recomend!

We are very pleased with the overall unique experience with Kili economy in Tanzania. I believe it's the first of many more to come. Franz was our guide for the safari and he was great with us. He is a master tracker and very knowledgeable in everything about safari. We saw all the big 5 including a rare sighting of 2 leopards which is very rare. I believe we would not have seen so much, had we been alone. Good lodgings and food checked a key aspect. Just perfect.

I have done a number of Safaris with Kili economy safari and each one has been awesome. The level of service is incredible and the people are wonderful! Enjoy my photos!

The guides from Migration Venture Africa were not only knowledgeable but also friendly and supportive. They made the climb feel like a team effort.

I felt well taken care of throughout the entire climb. Migration Venture Africa provided excellent accommodations and delicious meals, ensuring we were well-rested and energized.

We were a group of twelve on an 4 days Meru climb Although we were first surprised/wary of how many people they were sending as our support team 23 guides,chefs,porters, for 12 climbers we quickly realized we would not have had the same experience and summit success rate without their help. Rasheedy and his team at Almighty Kilimanjaro exceeded our expectations: always organized, prepared, and caring for our every need. The food was delicious and the accommodation were suitable. I highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro for a Meru climb, particularly the guide Jeff and his team.

Climbing Mount Meru with the Great Lake Expedition crew over four days was a fantastic trip that exceeded all expectations. The guides promoted camaraderie among the crew from the smooth organizing of the approach to the thrilling summit day. They were informed and helpful. A sea of clouds and sharp peaks surrounded the summit, creating a strange scene. The climb up to high camp provided amazing views. The journey down was just as fulfilling, full of introspection and joy at our accomplishment. I would definitely suggest the Great Lake Expedition crew for any climbing excursion because of their expertise and passion, which combined to make this expedition an amazing experience.

Climbing Mount Meru with Great Lake Expedition was a phenomenal experience! From start to finish, the team provided outstanding service and made sure every detail was perfect. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and local culture, offering fascinating insights along the trail. They ensured our safety and comfort while encouraging us at every step of the challenging ascent. The views along the way, especially of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance, were simply breathtaking. Thanks to Great Lake Expedition's expertise, we felt well-prepared and supported throughout the journey. If you’re looking for a well-organized, professional, and truly memorable Mount Meru adventure, Great Lake Expedition is the way to go!

Great experience with Kwesa! I coordinated some transportation with them before and after the trek, and everything was smooth and easy. The climb was fantastic and William made sure to accommodate to my speed and ability level and ensure I was enjoying myself and challenging myself. We joined up with a bigger group and had a great time! Beautiful, safe and well organized.

it was great to climb mount meru with spider tours and safaris they provide good service i recommend them

We have visited Tanzania in july 2022, our trip included Mt Meru climb and safari in Tarangire park, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara park. We were in group of 10 people, including 5 teenagers. For all of these days we have chosen spider tours and safaris and that was very good decision. We received not only what was contracted, but also extra effort, starting from the very beginning, when we have missed the last flight segment and had to stay overnight in Nairobi. spider tours and safaris (in particular Redeem) helped us then and we managed to get to Arusha. We started with Meru trekking. Our guides were very professional, prepared us to the climb, taking care about everything, from water containers to daily health checks or briefings. We were looked after by the whole team, we enjoyed every moment with them, had full trust in them, but also lots of fun. I don't think we would make to the summit by ourselves. With the big group, during the night hours to the summit, each one of our group had difficult moments, but we always had a great support of the team: guides Dickson and Jamal, and porters: Faraja, Dickson Moto, Shehe, Rashid, Innocent. Tanzania warriors: thank you for bringing us there and back safely, in good health and in fantastic mood. After Mt Meru we took safari trips to 3 national parks. Again, our drivers and guides, Tooma and Davis were great, experienced and knew when and where it is worthy to go or to wait. We owe also recognition to our "stomach engineer" for delicious meals :-). That was dream vacation for us. It wouldn't work that way without experienced and engaged team of spider tours and safaris. I can proudly say I have friends in Tanzania now!

We are proud to have mastered this beautiful mountain. With our 8 person crew we felt most safe and well taken care of. Our guides were really experienced and could tell us alot about the mountain and also about live in tansania itself:) The huts where you sleep were really nice and at beautiful spots so you could have an amazing view. The organisation beforehand was as amazing as the trip itself because we did not have to take care of anything or worry about anything going wrong! Thank you so much for this unforgettable trip!

We did also a couple of day trips to Enduimet Wildlife Area, Hot Springs, Old Moshi and the Coffee and Cultural Tour. Each of them was a great experience off the beaten track Shungu and Kirsten are professional, experienced tour operators for all kinds of activities, e.g. climbing Kilimanjaro, Safaris, Day Trips in the region and all over Tanzania. If you want to get the real tanzanian experience, they will take you to amazing places. Do not miss Street Food Moshi or local Craftsman Tour! Also highly recommended: Lake Jipe, Pare Mountains, helicopter tour Kilimanjaro.

When we arrived in Zanzibar, at first we did not know which company to choose for the Safari. We received many offers, but it was Francisco from Lappet Safari that offered the best price and all the important options for an individual tour for us. He aroused the most confidence and already at the stage of coordinating the entire tour took great care of us and tried to do and find everything possible for our trip. For example, my husband and I have been vegetarians for many years, when Francisco found out about this, he immediately clarified what foods we do not eat and agreed with everyone to prepare the appropriate food for us, and it was, and it is very pleasant. At the Arusha airport we were met on time, helped with our suitcases and took us to our hotel. We checked in and then Francisco suggested that we go to the Masaev market to while away the day and at the same time see the outskirts of the city. We agreed, went for a drive around the city and bought souvenirs for ourselves and our relatives at the fair with pleasure. In the morning, just on time, our guide Naf came to pick us up in branded clothes (and not like many other companies like a trader from the market), who looks like a super soldier from Hollywood films. As we learned later, he had had 15 years of experience in safari and, believe me, it was very felt. He knows a lot of interesting features about animals and talks about them right away himself, he didn't even have to ask. He also drives a car very safely, is well-versed in parks, so we were always the first near rare animals or generally the only observers, he speaks English well and is always happy to take care of tourists. We fell in love with him from the first minutes of our acquaintance. The car opens the roof for a better view, they give you the right amount of binoculars, there is also a sanitizer, a special fridge filled with soda and water, and a large bag that holds your lunch and a thermos of hot water for coffee or tea if desired. There are also sockets in the car and you can charge any of your gadgets. The car itself is just a tank on wheels. You can ride on water, mud and anywhere on this colossus very easily and you will never get stuck anywhere. On the first day in the Serengeti Park, we saw baboons, a huge number of zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, pumbaa, hippos, all kinds of antelopes, bison, griffins and hyenas. We also stopped in the village of Masaev, where we were given an excursion, and we presented them to the children, toys brought from Russia, stationery and sweets. The experience was indescribable - it was something to sit in a hut of an African tribe with a local resident and listen to his stories about their life. In the evening we were taken to our campsite, where inside the huge tents everything is like in ordinary hotel rooms - a large four-poster bed, a shower with hot water, a lot of different furniture such as a makeup dressing table or armchairs. The dining room has a separate huge tent, where everything is very beautifully served, chairs are pushed behind you, a special chef prepares - everything is like in a luxury restaurant. The next day we have already set a plan for ourselves to see the lions and all the cats, and there are a lot of them. The Serengeti Park is very beautiful and huge, the nature in it is constantly changing and Naf showed us beautiful atolls made of stones where lions like to stop and these places really look like in the cartoon "The Lion King". Representatives of the feline family, as it turned out, are more fond of walking in fields and grass. Among them we saw cheetahs, caracal, servals, leopards and 2 little lion cubs. We also saw 6 lions with little lion cubs sleeping on a tree with mighty branches, which while we were filming them - we decided to go down, walk next to our car and go into the sunset. It was something. We also saw a crocodile again, but not in the water, but on land, he was so huge asleep on the sand and we looked at him and could not believe our eyes. Then Naf took us to the lake, which was just a thousand pink flamingos. And we decided to eat our lunch there, lunch in the middle of the lake with a huge number of pink flamingos! On the third day we went to Ngorongoro and on the way saw large migrations of antelopes, bison, zebras, very often giraffes and antelopes and sometimes jackals came across on the way. Animal migration is certainly very impressive. And having enjoyed it enough, we went in search of rhinos and elephants. There are a lot of bison, antelope, zebras, birds in the Ngorongoro caldera, and after 20 minutes after driving along the crater we knew, thanks to our guide, where 5 rhinos are now and where are the elephants. We were so happy when we saw them! When we left the park, the road went straight along the edge of the crater and at a great height, around a beautiful tropical forest, as if you were in Bali. And going up the mountain, we saw in parting once again a whole family of 14 elephants! What can I say at the end - Lappet Faced Safaris fully justified our hopes and confidence, fulfilled all our wishes and gave us even more than we expected. Impressions, photos and videos were taken away for a whole year of memories. Only a small part of our adventures is described here.

We were really impressed by the great nature of africa, especially luckily we saw male lions sitting under a tree. All of the accommodations arranged by the tour were much beyond our expectations. The guide was very kind, professional, and trustworthy. The tour team responded to our questions in a timely manner and to the point. Even when our luggage was lost in transit, they helped us and managed to get and send it all the way to our place in safari.

I recently signed up with two friends to volunteer in the day-care sector of PMGY Tanzania. The experience start to finish was amazing. Upon arrival at the airport the pick-up service removed the stress of when you first arrive in a new place. The volunteer house was simple but had a nice family feel. The coordinators did an excellent job at looking after you and making sure you settled in okay, I would definitely say you don't need to worry about feeling lost if you're going solo! The volunteering was rewarding and everyone I interacted with in Arusha was very kind and helpful. I felt safe walking to and from placement every day. The volunteering itself consisted of working in a day care which had around one hundred children aged from one to six. Each day care and school was different but the one I was placed in had very little resources so I would advise thinking of some activities or bringing some tools that you can use to teach and entertain the children. I bought my speaker to day care everyday and the children loved it! The volunteering itself was my favourite part of the trip and I think its a great experience to do. There are so many activities you can do after placement and on the weekends. I stayed for three weeks and went on a safari one weekend and to Zanzibar the next! PMGY organise the safari so all you have to do is pay and they can also help to organise any other trips you may want to do. All in all I would recommend to anyone.

On September the 29th, my two closest friends and I made a trip of a lifetime. We joined the childcare program, volunteering in preschools in Arusha, Tanzania for 4 weeks. We made connections with people we'll most likely never meet again, but their impact will be remembered. We booked the trip with PMGY, with a strong will to help and experience as much as we could. We created a fundraiser months in advance so that we could donate to the schools - we ended up doing a lot more than we realised we could. The PMGY house itself is quite big, with 3 stories, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. I realise now that we arrived in one of the busiest times, ending up with very limited space. We were cramped in the top floor - a joined bedroom, 18 people to 1 bathroom. Getting breakfast and dinner seemed like a fight for survival; first come, first serve. Being late wasn't an option. There is a set menu, repeated each week, but you have the option of ordering delivery if you no longer want the provided options. There are constant power outings in Tanzania, but fortunately the house has a generator. When the generator is on, it basically shakes the entire house from how loud it is, but it keeps the power on. A downside, when generator is on - there is no hot water. So, timing your shower is crucial. The pressure varies depending if anyone else is using the water, and it is either boiling hot or freezing cold, and don't take too long because several other people are waiting to shower. When you arrive, you are added to the house group chat, where everyone in the house can communicate easily for various reasons, including the ordering of tuktuks from place to place. Sim cards are organised by the coordinators. These were provided to us on the second day of arriving, as there were other volunteers arriving, so you should let your family know you might not be able to contact them immediately. The sim card is a reasonable price, and can be topped easily. Please also keep in mind the free wifi advertised does not exist. Before placement, you will be given an orientation with the rest of the new group. On orientation, you will be shown the most trustworthy ATM, where you can take out money - my regular debit card worked completely fine. You will be taken to the Maasai markets, where you will be taught to bargain, as you will 100% purchase something incredibly overpriced if you are not careful. On the first day of placement, the PMGY coordinators organised the volunteers into separate groups to be sent to each school. We were allowed to change our schools with a good reason. We were also allowed to change to the medical program for a reasonable fee. We walked to our placements everyday, having breakfast at 8am, and setting off by 8:45am, finishing at around 12:30pm. The 4 weeks of placement flew by, we were incredibly sad to go, every child and every teacher we met were so beautiful and welcoming of us - but 4 weeks was the perfect amount of time for me. Weekends are free, so you have time to do lots of funs trips; eg. safari weekend, Maasai village, hot springs, waterfalls, Maasai markets etc. It gets a little tricky to find things to do after placement, and may get a little repetitive. Spending money is necessary to get the full experience, but chilling at the house can also be fun. It's very communal at the PMGY house, perfect for socialising, and getting to know people. Only breakfast and dinner are provided, so you need to eat out for lunch - a perfect time to explore with friends. I spent on average 150,000 shillings ($90 AUD or $60 USD) a week, not including weekend trips or shopping for souvenirs. We got around via tuktuks, small motor vehicles with 3 wheels (fit up to 4 people, 5 is pushing it), which are organised and ordered by the coordinators to ensure they are safe and best price. We went to Zanzibar at the end of the trip, which is a 1 hour flight from the Arusha airport. If you are planning to go, I would 100% recommend staying in Nungwi (up north) so you are near all the activities. If you are going during your program time, you are only allowed to miss 3 days of placement, but 3-5 days is plenty of time for Zanzibar. If you are asking my opinion, I wouldn't recommend Zanzibar. It was very overpriced, and I was very underwhelmed with my experience. Overall, my experience with PMGY was incredible. It has changed my views of travelling immensely. Volunteering allows you to have a much bigger insight to the culture and country you travel to. I would love to travel with PMGY again, and 100% recommend to anyone who is planning on travelling for volunteering.
