Mount Meru: Tanzania’s Hidden Climbing Gem

Often overshadowed by its taller sibling Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru (4,566 meters) is Tanzania’s best-kept mountain secret. But don’t be fooled — this stratovolcano offers a spectacular trek, rich wildlife, and fewer crowds.

For those craving challenge and solitude, Meru is a climb to remember.

Why Choose Mount Meru?

Meru is more than a warm-up for Kilimanjaro — it’s a world-class adventure in its own right. As you hike through Arusha National Park, you’ll encounter giraffes, buffaloes, and monkeys before even reaching the mountain slopes.

What Makes Meru Unique

  • Wildlife at the Start: No other mountain trek begins with a walking safari.
  • Dramatic Crater Views: Hike along the rim of an ancient collapsed volcano.
  • Summit at Sunrise: Watch the sun rise over Kilimanjaro in the distance.
  • Shorter Climb, Big Rewards: A perfect 3–4 day climb for fit hikers.

Trek Features

  • Guided by Rangers: Because of the wildlife, climbs are accompanied by armed rangers.
  • Simple Mountain Huts: Rustic yet comfortable overnight stays.
  • Great Acclimatization: Ideal prep for Kilimanjaro — or a standalone challenge.
