Tour Overview:

Mount Meru Climb is the best for acclimatization prior to Mount Kilimanjaro climbing; The Mountain is the third highest peak in Africa and is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4,568m. The mountain is located within Arusha National Park, Tanzania’s gem.
This prime location gives trekkers the chance to spot some of the wildlife that inhabits the area.
The ascent is quite steep, the route to the summit passes over streams, through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland.
