4 Days Mount Meru Climbing
- Mount Meru
Description
The 4-Day Mount Meru Climb offers a spectacular trekking experience on Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, reaching 4,566 meters. Located within Arusha National Park, the climb brings a fascinating view of rich biodiversity, with chances to see wildlife such as giraffes, buffalo, and monkeys along the lower forested trails. Mount Meru is the highest peak in Africa and the second-highest in Tanzania, just at the back of Mount Kilimanjaro, located 40 km away. The route is scenic and less crowded, making it perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a quieter mountain adventure. The mountain majestically stands with its own unique charm.
Your 4-Day Mount Meru Climbing adventure combines trekking and watching the spectacular view of African nature and biodiversity. Enjoy hiking through lush tropical forests while observing a diverse array of rare flora and fauna. The Mount Meru expedition is a moderate trek and does not require hardcore training or specialised skills.
This extended itinerary allows for a more relaxed pace and easy hiking compared to shorter climbs. Hikers stay in mountain huts and follow a scenic ridgeline to the summit, where sunrise reveals the mesmeric views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding plains. Ideal as both a warm-up for Kilimanjaro or a standalone achievement, Mount Meru offers a challenging yet highly rewarding experience.
