Mount Meru (4,566m) is a spectacular volcanic cone located in Arusha National Park. It’s often chosen as a preparation trek before Kilimanjaro, but it stands as a rewarding climb on its own, with abundant wildlife, forested trails, and dramatic ridgelines. The 3-day trek is more intense than the 4-day version, designed for fit and acclimatized hikers.
