Overview

Mount Meru, located in Arusha city in northern Tanzania, presents a breathtaking backdrop that rivals even Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Its massive cliffs dominate Arusha National Park and have inspired myths and legends for decades. For photographers, this magnificent mountain is a true Mecca.

As a dormant volcanic mountain, Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest peak, reaching 4,562 meters above sea level. It has gained fame primarily because it is just 70 kilometers from Mount Kilimanjaro, making it popular as a “warm-up” trek for climbers.

Climb Mount Meru

Climbing Mount Meru requires more technical skills than climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. On the fourth day of your trek, you will have the opportunity to see various wildlife, including buffalo, antelopes, giraffes, and baboons. You will also pass beautiful waterfalls and unique Meru streams. For your safety, a park ranger will accompany your group.

Mount Meru offers a beautiful and less crowded trekking experience for those exploring Tanzania’s natural beauty. While it may not reach the extreme altitudes of Kilimanjaro, it remains a rewarding adventure with its unique landscapes and stunning views from the summit. Many trekkers find combining a Mount Meru climb with a Kilimanjaro expedition creates a more enriching and comprehensive experience of Tanzania’s mountainous terrain and diverse ecosystems.
