MOUNT MERU – 3 DAYS

Trekking Overview
Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania, at 4566 metre (14,979 feet). It is
overshadowed by Kilimanjaro, its famous neighbour, and frequently overlooked by visitors. But Meru
is a spectacular mountain; a trek involves beautiful hiking through the grassland and forest on the
mountain’s lower slopers, followed by a dramatic and exhilarating ridge-walk to the summit.
