    Cheating company

    Very bad company, cheating on your money, give you the wrong bank account number and won´t transfer the money back. Took it 3 times the money. Not picking up the phone anymore. Bad cars. bad equipment. The guides where also very unexperienced.

    Response from the operator: Sorry for double transactions, now you can delete this review or respond to people that you talked with your bank and refunded your wrong transaction

    Great experience

    The hike was really great, it was challenging but broken into stages that are really acceptable. The views from the top are truly incredible and I am very happy that I did this hike. The guide/ranger/cook/porters were very nice and made the trip quite comfortable and the food, quality and quantity, was really good. In terms of improvements, I was a little disappointed by the pressure I felt for the amount of a tip I was supposed to give with the guide stating that between the 6 people involved (initially told there would only be 4 people) the usually collective tip would be 250-300 USD on top of the 700 already paid. While the team did great work, it was difficult as a solo traveller to cover such a cost alone. Additionally, on the return hike, I was pressured by the ranger to move faster which made the final hike a bit less enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience which I will always remember but I would recommend doing the hike as a group if possible.

    Mont Meru 5 days

    Absolutely delighted with my experience with Rupia on this trek. Very responsive, the reservation was made before my departure with a pre-briefing proposed to check the equipment and finalize the last administrative details. The team is absolutely reliable, punctual, professional. Emmanuel, guide, knew how to listen during these 3 days and adapt to my pace and desire a "dynamic" trek. Kindness and very good Service from the team: Samuel (cook) and Cashbeth ( porter) with hot water to wash each step, a time to have tea, and delicious meals. Summit reached without much difficulty and accessible to a large number of people. The team does its utmost to offer you success. The return also went very well, with support until I put myself on the right bus to Moshi... at the sight of Kilimanjaro a few hours later, I decided on a whim to renew an adventure by the Marangu route 5 days with Rupia, meeting the whole team!!! If you need equipment, the agency will be able to provide you with quality, clean and functional equipment. Do not hesitate to communicate via Whatsapp to refine your needs and requests. I recommend! And again thank you for these wonderful experiences.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Nadia we highly welcoming you again

    Summit reached!

    Three tiring days but well worth it. Frank, our guide, was full of information from start to finish, about flora, fauna and general mountain life. He and the whole team cared that we were perfectly comfortable, the accommodation was nice and the food very good. Remember to take warm clothes for the summit, it was very cold! Thank you Rupia for the experience!

    Response from the operator: Thanks you for good comment, welcome again

    3 Days Mount Meru trekking: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does 3 Days Mount Meru trekking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days Mount Meru trekking take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Mount Meru trekking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Mount Meru trekking?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 Days Mount Meru trekking suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days Mount Meru trekking?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Mount Meru trekking start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arusha?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arusha?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arusha?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +
