4 Days Mount Meru Trekking

TOUR OVERVIEW

4 days trekking on Mount Meru, the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4,566m. Located within Arusha National Park, it offers some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife diversity in Tanzania’s mountains. Mount Meru is a challenging trek due to its steepness, but it’s a great way to acclimatize before tackling Mount Kilimanjaro. Climbers are accompanied by armed rangers, as the lower slopes are rich in wildlife.

The four-day Mount Meru trek also has historical significance, with some suggesting it may have been the resting place of Noah’s Ark after the Biblical Flood receded. Mount Meru is a great trekking option for those who want to try their hand at mountain climbing and get a feel for the great outdoors, but are not yet ready to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro.
