Mount Meru
– Tanzania’s Hidden Alpine Treasure
A Scenic Trek with Wildlife, Crater Ridges & Kilimanjaro Views
Mount Meru (4,566m) is Tanzania’s second-highest peak and a stunning trekking destination often overlooked in favor of Kilimanjaro—but it offers one of the most rewarding climbs in East Africa. The journey begins within Arusha National Park, where trekkers walk through lush forests alive with giraffes, buffalo, colobus monkeys, and diverse birdlife. The climb continues along dramatic crater ridges, opening to sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the distance. Meru is ideal for trekkers seeking a moderate challenge, fewer crowds, and a climb rich in nature, scenery, and quiet alpine beauty.
