Mount Meru Trek [ 4 Days ]

Arusha / Miriakamba Hut
Miriakamba Hut /Saddle Hut
Saddle Hut / Summit / Saddle Hut
Saddle hut / Arusha

Mount Meru climb: Mount Meru is the second largest mountain in Tanzania. It is a volcanic mountain formed after Kilimanjaro. It is one of the most beautiful mountains inside the Arusha national park. When doing a mount Meru climb, you can take advantage of a day game drive at Arusha national park before or after the trek.

Let me just say, in general, both mount Meru and Arusha national park place with few tourists. You can take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy these sights on your own and sometimes meet very few people around.

Rich on wildlife: Because mount Meru is nestled in Arusha park, on the first day you go to start a mount Meru climb, you will get a chance to walk through different animals like buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, monkeys, etc. Mount Meru is a mountain that can be climbed for three or four days. It is a beautiful mountain to start climbing for those who hope to climb Kilimanjaro Mountain in the future. It is a very interesting mountain and at the top, you have a view of Kilimanjaro mountain and the city of Arusha. On clear days you can also see Ngorongoro highlands.

Let me just say, for those who are just beginning their dreams to become mountaineers, Mount Meru is one of the mountains to consider.
