Mount Meru
About Mount Meru
Mount Meru stands out for the climb and the setting around it. As Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, it brings together forest, volcanic ridges, open views, and a route that feels quieter than Kilimanjaro. It also sits inside Arusha National Park, so the experience feels more varied from the start, with wildlife, changing landscapes, and a summit that gives you a very different view of northern Tanzania.
When to visit
June to October is the classic dry-season window, while January to early March is also strong for climbing with clearer skies and drier trails.
Most popular: June - October
