Mount Meru Climbing

Mt Meru is the sister peak to Kilimanjaro and the views from the summit are spectacular. At 14,980 ft (4,566 metres) it’s the tenth highest peak on the continent. It’s an easier trek than Kilimanjaro but not without it’s challenges. Normally the ascent involves sleeping at least three nights on the mountain and the summit day may include up to ten hours of hiking. Mt Meru is located within Arusha National Park and whilst on the lower slopes you’ll be accompanied by an armed ranger due to the possibility of encountering wildlife.
