Mt Meru Extension
5 days - from $1605
Mt Meru is one of Africa's most beautiful volcanoes and an excellent acclimatisation trek for Mt Kilimanjaro
At 4566 metres, Mount Meru is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania. Its impressive volcanic cone is the culmination of one of East Africa’s most picturesque and rewarding climbs. Dramatic scenery abounds as we trek through a myriad of terrains, from grasslands to lush forests where we cross bubbling streams to the knife-edge ridge of the crater rim. The summit of Socialist Peak provides stunning views of Ash Cone, thousands of feet below, as well as Mount Kilimanjaro to the west on a clear day. Don’t let the relatively short length of the climb fool you as Mount Meru is a challenging mountain, the ascent is steep and dramatic at times and the rewards are incredible. Located inside Arusha National Park, Mount Meru is also one of the only mountains that combines your trekking with a wildlife viewing experience!
