Tour Overview

Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania after Kilimanjaro. Has the elevation of 4,566m. It's inside Arusha National Park. Imagine how beauty is, walking and watching animals. Many hikers use to hike Mount Meru before Kilimanjaro as it helps for the acclimatization. You can climb 3 days but we recommend 4 days to avoid long walk at the last day from summit to the gate.
