Mount Meru Climb

Trek Tanzania's spectacular volcanic cone with breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro

Mount Meru is Tanzania's second highest mountain at 4,562 meters (14,968 feet) and offers an incredible trekking experience. Located within Arusha National Park, this stratovolcano provides stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and diverse wildlife encounters.

The trek is perfect for acclimatization before Kilimanjaro, or as a standalone adventure for those seeking a shorter but equally rewarding mountain experience. The route passes through varied ecosystems including rainforest, heath, and alpine desert.

Mount Meru's dramatic crater rim and lush slopes make it a hidden gem for adventure seekers. Unlike Kilimanjaro, you'll often have the trails to yourself, creating a more intimate wilderness experience.
