4-Day Mount Meru Trekking and Hike

Start From $898 Per Person

4-Day Mount Meru Trekking and Hike

Mount Meru, rising to 4,566 metres, is Tanzania’s second-highest peak and is located within the scenic Arusha National Park. The mountain offers a rewarding 3-day trek along a single established route, making it a popular choice for acclimatization before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Unlike Kilimanjaro, all trekkers on Mount Meru are accompanied by an armed park ranger, allowing for a unique walking safari where you may encounter giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and black-and-white colobus monkeys in their natural habitat.
