Private tour (only you and Alex D.)

Climb Mount Meru (4,566 m) in 4 days on the Momella route, inside Arusha National Park. Walk with an armed park ranger through forest and savannah where buffalo and giraffe are often seen, sleep in mountain huts, and aim for the summit around sunrise. The extra night gives better acclimatization than a 3-day climb, so it also works as a Kilimanjaro warm-up for fit trekkers. Includes guide, ranger, porters, cook, meals and transfers.

About Tour Guide Alex D.

Hi, my name is Alex, an experienced tour guide based in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.

My main specialties are Kilimanjaro climbing, wildlife safaris, cultural experiences, day trips and multi-day adventures around Kilimanjaro, Arusha and other parts of Tanzania.

I have been working in tourism and guiding for more than 17 years, welcoming travelers from different parts of the world. My experience ranges from short day excursions to longer journeys, including Kilimanjaro climbs and wildlife safaris to destinations such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.

As a guide, I focus on providing experiences that are safe, well-organized, personal and enjoyable. I pay close attention to each traveler's needs, from planning and preparation to guiding them throughout their experience.

On Kilimanjaro, I place strong importance on safety, proper acclimatization, steady pacing and good communication. On safari and cultural trips, I enjoy sharing not only the scenery and wildlife, but also the local culture, history and everyday life that make Tanzania special.

I can also help arrange and coordinate tailor-made experiences, whether a traveler is looking for a single day trip, a mountain adventure, a safari or a combination of different experiences across Tanzania.

I look forward to welcoming travelers and helping them discover Tanzania in a safe, authentic, and memorable way.
