Mount Meru

Towering over the town of Arusha, Mount Meru is a key factor to the cultural and agricultural history of this region. Mount Meru is the fifth highest peak in Africa.  As it is far less traveled than Kilimanjaro, it is often a more intimate experience. Mount Meru offers a challenging and interesting climb with an opportunity to view smaller wildlife on a more personal level capturing spectacular views of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Book
