Mount Meru Trek

Though often ignored in favour of its big sister Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru is a worthy trekker’s paradise. This massive volcano towers over 3,000 meters above Arusha town. The craggy top lies at the westernmost point of the summit ridge at 4566 m (14,979 feet). Normally done as a 4 day trek; however can be completed in 3 days,
