However, Mount Meru is an active (but dormant) volcano located north of Arusha National Park in Tanzania. At 4,562 meters, it is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania, only 70 km from Mount Kilimanjaro, and the fourth-highest mountain in Africa.
The ascent of Mount Meru takes you through various vegetation zones. The dry forest of the lower region transitions into a dense mountain rainforest, giving way to heath and moorland and ultimately to the stunning Baron alpine deserts.
The changing flora is matched by diverse wildlife, including large game such as elephants and buffalos. Due to this, it is obligatory to be accompanied by an armed park ranger on your tour with us.
Visitors will likely spot wildlife along the trail early in the hike. The route ascends the north side of Meru’s crater before reaching the summit, where stunning views, including Kilimanjaro, await.
Mount Meru offers a valuable acclimatization experience and is a famous warm-up climb before tackling Mount Kilimanjaro. It provides a grand adventure and a way to prepare for higher altitude challenges.
We offer both 3-day and 4-day climbs of Mount Meru. Clients from different parties and operators often combine to walk with an armed ranger on the lower slopes for added safety.
