Embark on an unforgettable journey to the summit of Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest peak and a hidden gem for adventurers. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbor, Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru offers a thrilling and less-crowded trekking experience.
Standing at 4,562 meters (14,968 feet), Mount Meru is located within Arusha National Park, offering trekkers stunning views of wildlife, lush forests, and the dramatic ash cone of its crater. This dormant volcano is a perfect challenge for those seeking a shorter but equally rewarding climb.
The ascent to the summit, known as Socialist Peak, takes you through diverse landscapes, including montane forests, open grasslands, and alpine deserts. Along the way, you may encounter buffalo, giraffes, and even colobus monkeys, making this trek a unique blend of adventure and wildlife exploration.
Our expertly guided treks ensure your safety and comfort, with experienced guides and porters to support you every step of the way. The climb typically takes 3-4 days, making it an ideal choice for those with limited time or as a warm-up for Kilimanjaro.
Highlights of the trek include the stunning sunrise views from the summit, the dramatic cliffs of the crater rim, and the breathtaking vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days. Reaching the top of Mount Meru is a rewarding achievement that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
Whether you're an experienced hiker or a first-time trekker, our Mount Meru adventures are designed to suit all levels of fitness and experience. We provide top-quality equipment, nutritious meals, and expert advice to ensure you're fully prepared for this incredible journey.
