Climb Kilimanjaro

Mount Meru 3-Day Trek (4,562m)

Overview

Rising majestically inside Arusha National Park, Mount Meru (4,562m / 14,968ft) is Africa's 5th highest peak. Trekkers are accompanied by an armed wildlife ranger through savanna where giraffes, warthogs, and cape buffalos graze. Meru is the perfect standalone mountain climb or the premier acclimatization climb prior to tackling Kilimanjaro.
