3 nights / 4 days Mount Meru Climb Tanzania
Mt Meru is one of Tanzania’s most beautiful volcanoes, and it is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4,5685m, the fifth highest in Africa.
The mountain is located within Arusha National Park, Tanzania’s gem.
There are two huts available to climbers on the mountain and firewood is supplied. The best time to climb Meru is between October and February. But also June to September, while it is colder then.
This trek serves as an ideal warm up for Mt. Kilimanjaro due to its altitude acclimatization and hiking distances.
After Mt Meru climbing it is great to continue your Africa dream with some short SAFARI
Which can be ended with relaxation in beautifull Zanzibar island.
