Mount Meru, located within Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania, is the country’s second-highest mountain, standing proudly at 4,566 meters. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru offers a quieter, less crowded, but equally rewarding trekking experience. The climb takes trekkers through diverse ecosystems—from lush montane forests teeming with wildlife to alpine deserts and volcanic craters—culminating in stunning sunrise views from Socialist Peak with Kilimanjaro towering in the background.
Whether you’re a seasoned climber seeking an acclimatization climb before Kilimanjaro or a nature lover eager for a challenging adventure, Mount Meru is a hidden gem that delivers both thrill and serenity.
