Kilimanjaro Mountain

Mount Meru Trekking & Summit Expedition

Climb Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest mountain at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet) and the fifth-highest peak in Africa. Located inside Arusha National Park just 70 kilometers west of Mount Kilimanjaro, this active dormant stratovolcano offers one of the most exciting mountain trekking experiences in East Africa. The Momella Route takes you through lush montane forests, giant heather zones, and dramatic ash cone volcanic crater ridges to Socialist Peak. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro rising above the clouds and stunning panoramas across the Great Rift Valley. Mount Meru is an incredible stand-alone trek as well as the ideal acclimatization climb before tackling Kilimanjaro.

Why Climb Mount Meru

Unlike other major high-altitude peaks, Mount Meru combines high-altitude mountain climbing with an authentic walking safari. Because the trail passes through dense wildlife habitats on lower slopes, an armed park ranger accompanies all treks—giving you the chance to spot giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, and colobus monkeys on foot. With comfortable dormitory-style mountain huts (Miriakamba and Saddle Huts), fewer crowds, and a thrilling summit ridge scramble at sunrise, Mount Meru is a must-do trek for adventure enthusiasts looking for an uncrowded African wilderness experience.
