Mountain Climbing

Overview

A 3-day itinerary on Mount Meru is perfect for acclimatization before climbing Kilimanjaro. As Africa’s third-highest peak and Tanzania’s second-highest at 4,568m, Mount Meru offers a thrilling trek through diverse landscapes. Located in Tanzania’s gem, Arusha National Park, the climb provides opportunities to spot wildlife. The ascent is steep, taking you over streams, through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone, and moorland. The summit is reached via a narrow, barren ridge, offering breathtaking views of the Ash Cone several thousand feet below in the crater.
