Description
Mount Meru is the fifth highest mountain on the African continent and the second highest in Tanzania and dominates the Arusha National Park with its huge cliffs.
Mount Meru is approximately 4615 meters above sea level. It does provide a climb that is spectacular. Actually this mountain is steeper than most of Kilimanjaro. Meru was at one time, taller than Kilimanjaro until it blew its top some 250 thousand years ago. This huge explosion left behind a huge caldera with a jagged rim. The walks are through forest and woodlands that offer an immense variety of wildlife such as monkeys, elephants, buffalo, giraffe and warthog.
Mt. Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania and the fourth highest in Africa. It is located inside of Arusha National Park, a short distance from Moshi. A Meru climb is usually done with either a 3 or 4 day itinerary. It is popular as an acclimatization climb before Mt Kilimanjaro expedition or for those who do not have enough days to dedicate for a Kilimanjaro climb. It is a great experience on its own merit and offers some spectacular views.
