Mt. Meru Waterfall Hike

There are numerous stunning sights on Mount Meru, which flow from its steep volcanic cliffs. Having spent the night in severe rain, I decided to take a day excursion to Mount Meru Waterfall, one of the greatest waterfalls at the base of Mount Meru.

In this adventure, motorbikes ride along a steep road and then descend into a gorge down a forest ladder. Once you’ve gotten inside, you can wade down the river and climb over stones until you reach the roaring Mount Meru Waterfall at the bottom of the gorge.

Arusha’s Mount Meru waterfall, a spectacular sight only a few kilometers from town, is one of the city’s most popular attractions.

The total distance walked to the Mount Meru Waterfall is approximately 4-5 kilometers (including the return trip)

1.5-2 hours is the maximum walk time from the ticket office to the waterfall and back.

Due to the slippery terrain and river crossings, most physically active and adventurous people will be OK. Get ready to get soaked.

There is a 200-meter grade hike inclination.

I have no idea what the waterfalls around Mount Meru are called. There are too many Mount Meru Waterfalls for me to provide accurate information and Google Maps pins for you to use in your travels. These waterfalls were all labeled Mount Meru Waterfall, familiar with the area even with my guide.

According to Google, at least four more falls have the same name; the Mount Meru Waterfall including one that I crossed on my Mount Meru volcanic tour. The Mount Meru Waterfall, which reminded me a lot of Bali’s Sekumpul Falls due to its huge force slamming at the foot, is worth a visit, and I’ll supply directions to it.

Meru Conservation Area has a ticketing office where visitors pay the $12USD per person fee and are met by a group of cheerful men eager to serve as their tour guide.

However, despite my doubts, I have to admit that a guide is quite helpful on the Mount Meru Waterfall walk. There are no signposts at starting points and trails, and the path is not marked on maps or any other mapping site.

Additionally, they show how to navigate some of the trail’s rocks, stones, and steep sections using local angles and techniques. A $15 guide fee is too expensive for a one-hour tour if I remember correctly.

However, even if they succeed in persuading you to take two, there is no good reason for them to do so. Only one guide should be requested, and the guide should cost no more than $15.

Wakawaka Hostel – cheap, convenient, and had a laid-back vibe — was where I stayed while on a tight budget.

Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa, which contains a swimming pool and high-quality facilities and rooms, is the best value hotel in the area.
