Mount Meru Climb

From $1150 / person

Mount Meru, the second highest peak in Tanzania and the fifth tallest on the African continent, towers majestically over Arusha National Park with its impressive cliffs. Often regarded as a warm-up for those aiming to conquer Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru presents more technical challenges than the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a rewarding climb for adventurers seeking a bit more of a test.

During this 3-day trek, you’ll have the opportunity to spot wildlife like giraffes, buffalos, antelopes, and baboons along the way. For your safety, a park ranger will accompany you throughout the journey.
