Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4,566 meters (14,980 ft) and the fifth highest in Africa. During the ascent you have impressive views of Arusha National Park and the surrounding mountains. Mount Meru is often climbed in combination with Kilimanjaro but is also worth a trip on its own.
The ascent takes place via the south route and the descent via the north route. Overnight stays are in huts, which usually consist of four-bed rooms and are equipped with double bunk beds. All campsites are in direct radio contact with the management of the national park. The number of visitors to Mount Meru is comparatively low.
