MOUNT MERU 

Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest peak, is an awe-inspiring volcanic mountain located within Arusha National Park. Standing at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet) above sea level, Meru offers a unique and rewarding trekking experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes, including nearby Mount Kilimanjaro. Though lesser-known than Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru's steep slopes, diverse wildlife, and rich vegetation make it a favored trekking destination for adventurers seeking a more secluded and scenic climb.

​

The trek to the summit of Mount Meru is challenging, requiring a good level of fitness, but like Kilimanjaro, it is a non-technical climb that doesn't require specialized equipment. Along the route, trekkers pass through multiple ecosystems, from lush forests inhabited by buffaloes, giraffes, and monkeys, to alpine meadows and volcanic craters with stunning views of the mountain’s cone and ash fields

.

One of the most popular features of the Mount Meru trek is the Crater Rim, which offers an exhilarating walking experience along narrow ridges with sweeping views of the Momella Lakes and the Tanzanian plains. The summit, known as Socialist Peak, rewards climbers with panoramic vistas, including a clear view of Kilimanjaro on a clear day.

​

The ascent of Mount Meru also provides excellent acclimatization for those planning to climb Kilimanjaro, making it a perfect preparatory trek. The journey to the summit of Mount Meru is not just a physical challenge, but an immersion into Tanzania’s incredible biodiversity and natural beauty, making it a truly unforgettable experience for trekkers.
