DISCOVER MOUNT MERU!

Mount Meru: Often overshadowed by Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru is a beautiful and challenging trek located in Arusha National Park. At 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), it’s Tanzania’s second-highest peak. The trek is less crowded and offers an adventurous experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding wildlife and landscapes. Reaching the summit provides a stunning view of Kilimanjaro in the distance.

The Trekking Experience:

Mount Meru offers an incredible, less crowded alternative to Kilimanjaro, with a diverse range of landscapes and wildlife. The trek to the summit is challenging, with a mix of steep climbs, rocky paths, and forested terrain. It’s a great way to experience the thrill of a high-altitude climb while avoiding the large crowds that often gather on Kilimanjaro routes.

WHY TREK MOUNT MERU

Mount Meru – offers spectacular landscapes, a variety of ecosystems, and a high-altitude challenge that is rewarding both in terms of natural beauty and personal achievement.

Less Crowded

Unlike Kilimanjaro, which attracts thousands of climbers, Mount Meru is much quieter. If you prefer solitude and a more immersive nature experience, Meru is perfect.

The trek takes you through diverse landscapes:

  • Dense rainforest with waterfalls and wildlife

  • Open heathland with stunning views

  • Rocky alpine terrain leading to the crater rim

  • The dramatic crater and ash cone inside the volcano

Stuning Wildlife Encounter

Mount Meru is inside Arusha National Park, so you’ll trek through landscapes filled with giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, colobus monkeys, and even elephants—something you won’t experience on Kilimanjaro.

While Meru is lower than Kilimanjaro, it’s steeper and more technical, with narrow ridges and some scrambling required near the summit. This makes it an exciting climb for adventurous trekkers.

Great Acclimatization:

Many climbers use Mount Meru as a warm-up before Kilimanjaro. The altitude helps with acclimatization, increasing the chances of success on Kili.

The trek along Meru’s crater rim is thrilling, with steep drop-offs on either side. It feels like walking on the edge of the world.
