Mount Meru Climbing

Mount Meru is one of Africa's highest and most beautiful volcanoes. The route to the summit passes through parkland, a montane forest, a giant heather zone, and moorland. Look no further than Mount Meru, the active stratovolcano that serves as the centerpiece of Arusha National Park. While not as tall as its famous "big brother," Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru presents a unique challenge for climbers with its technical routes and steep cliffs. It's important to have some climbing experience before attempting the ascent.

However, if you have the time and budget, climbing Mount Meru is definitely worth it. You'll be rewarded with stunning views of the lush green surroundings and the chance to encounter giraffes, buffalos, antelopes, baboons, and over 400 species of birds. What's more, climbing Mount Meru is a great way to acclimate your body to higher altitudes, making it an ideal warm-up for those planning to tackle Kilimanjaro.

So, whether you're an experienced climber seeking a new challenge or a wildlife enthusiast looking for a unique adventure, Mount Meru in Arusha National Park is not to be missed.
