Mount Meru Trekking

The little brother of Kilimanjaro.

Mount Meru

Mount Meru is one of Tanzania’s great treasures, located in Arusha National Park.

With a height of 4,566 meters, it is the fifth-highest mountain in Africa and the second-highest in Tanzania, only surpassed by Kilimanjaro.

Known as the “little brother” of Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru offers breathtaking views of Africa’s tallest mountain, as the two peaks are only 70 km apart.

This trek is ideal for those planning to climb Kilimanjaro, as it helps with acclimatization to the terrain and altitude, providing the perfect preparation for tackling Tanzania’s most famous mountain challenge.
