Mount Meru

Mount Meru is a stunning, active stratovolcano located in the heart of Tanzania’s Arusha National Park. Standing at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), it is the second-highest peak in Tanzania, just behind Mount Kilimanjaro. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbor, Meru offers a breathtaking and less crowded alternative for adventurers seeking a challenging yet rewarding climb.

The trek to the summit of Mount Meru takes climbers through a variety of landscapes, starting in lush rainforests. The sounds of wildlife and vibrant plant life fill the air. As you ascend, the scenery transforms into alpine moorlands and rocky terrain. This offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes and the distant peaks of Kilimanjaro.

The final push to the summit is exhilarating, especially as you approach the crater rim. Enjoy the panoramic views of the nearby Meru Crater. From the top, you are treated to sweeping vistas of the Tanzanian plains. On a clear day, the sight of Kilimanjaro will be looming in the distance. Reaching the summit of Mount Meru is a deeply fulfilling experience. An ideal destination for trekkers looking for an unforgettable adventure in East Africa.
