The 3-day Meru hike with Signature Safaris was excellent. Our lead guide, Samuel, was really knowledgeable, took care to ensure we were hiking at a safe pace and pointed out lots of wildlife. Our porters were really helpful and friendly and the chef's food was great (expect huge portions!). I'd highly recommend the company.
For Meru itself, 3 days is a challenge because the last day may require 12-16 hrs hiking in total. Thankfully, Samuel arranged a lift for us from a higher camp to shorten the trek that day. Id recommend it for fit hikers, especially those who aren't scared of heights (I struggled with the final ascent!). It's all worth it for the great scenery and views of Kilimanjaro.
