Mount Meru, standing tall at 4,566 meters, is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain and one of Africa’s most rewarding trekking destinations. Nestled in the heart of Arusha National Park, this dormant volcano offers climbers a unique blend of adventure and natural beauty. The journey begins with lush montane forests where giraffes, buffalo, and colobus monkeys can often be seen. As the trail ascends, the landscapes change dramatically—from dense woodlands to alpine moorlands and finally, rocky ridges that lead to the summit.
Climbing Meru is more than a mountain trek—it’s a wilderness experience. The paths are less crowded than Kilimanjaro, allowing trekkers to enjoy a quieter, more intimate adventure. Its crater, ridges, and sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance make it a photographer’s paradise. For many, Mount Meru also serves as the perfect acclimatization climb before tackling Africa’s highest peak. Whether you’re a first-time climber or a seasoned trekker, Mount Meru promises a journey filled with challenge, discovery, and breathtaking scenery.
