Mt. Meru Hiking Tours

Climb Mt. Meru: A Hidden Gem in Arusha National Park

Rising to 14,980 feet (4,565 meters), Mt. Meru is the stunning centerpiece of Arusha National Park, located just 50 miles west of its famous neighbor, Mt. Kilimanjaro. This dormant stratovolcano is not only an ideal acclimatization trek for Kilimanjaro climbers but also a perfect choice for hikers in search of a quieter, more challenging ascent.

The journey begins in the lush, wildlife-filled lower slopes of Arusha National Park, where you’ll likely encounter elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and more, requiring the company of an armed ranger for safety. As you ascend, the trail follows the dramatic ridgeline of the volcano’s north rim, offering breathtaking views of the crater below. Along the way, hikers stay in well-placed huts, ensuring a comfortable and well-supported multi-day climb. The summit push begins early, giving you the chance to witness a spectacular sunrise over the rugged Mt. Meru Crater, with Mt. Kilimanjaro standing tall in the distance. Whether you’re preparing for Kilimanjaro or simply seeking a thrilling mountain adventure, Mt. Meru offers unparalleled scenery, incredible wildlife encounters, and an unforgettable climb.
