Trekking

Mount Meru (4,566 m/14,980 ft) in Arusha National Park is the second highest mountain in Tanzania, and one of the highest mountains in Africa – only Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains are higher. It stands just outside the city of Arusha, allowing for treks and climbs starting from Arusha, and for combinations with safaris in northern Tanzania.

Mount Meru, too, can be climbed by amateurs. A normal climb is two or three days. The mountain has considerably fewer climbers than Kilimanjaro, and may be an interesting choice for visitors searching for mountain experiences away from the crowds
