Mount Meru is a beautiful mountain located inside Arusha National Park, standing at 4,566 meters. It is perfect for those who want a shorter hike or want to prepare for Kilimanjaro. The 3-day trek is more challenging because of the faster pace but is great for fit hikers who want a quick adventure.
You will walk through forest, grasslands, and rocky slopes. Wildlife such as giraffes, monkeys, and buffalo can be seen along the trail. A park ranger will join for safety, and the views from the top include Mount Kilimanjaro and the crater below.
