Tour Overview

At a height of 4,566 meters (14,980 ft), Mount Meru is a dormant stratovolcano located in Arusha National Park, 70 Kilometers (43 miles) west of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Typically, Mount Meru Climb takes four days, but it can be done in 3 days to complete a trek to the Summit. It's a spectacular volcanic cone with one of East Africa's most scenic and rewarding climbs, involving a dramatic walk along the knife edge of the crater rim.
