4 Day Mt. Meru Climbing Tour

Package Overview

Mount Meru, located in Tanzania, is a majestic and awe-inspiring volcano that stands at 4,566 meters tall, making it the second highest peak in the country. For climbers seeking a challenging and rewarding experience, this peak offers a unique and stunning adventure. With a climb that typically takes 3-4 days, you will hike through a variety of diverse ecosystems, including lush rainforest, breathtaking heath, and sprawling moorland. This diversity of landscape makes for a memorable and varied climb that is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

What sets Mount Meru apart from other climbing destinations is its relative seclusion, making it the perfect option for those seeking a more peaceful and intimate climbing experience. Unlike Mount Kilimanjaro, which can get quite crowded, climbing Mount Meru allows you to truly immerse yourself in nature and connect with the beauty of the environment. With stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding national park, this climb is sure to be a visual feast.

For those who are preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru is also a great option for acclimatization. By acclimatizing on this peak first, you will be better prepared for the more demanding climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, increasing your chances of success and making the experience more enjoyable. So if you’re ready for an unforgettable and rewarding climbing experience, consider taking on the challenge of Mount Meru.
