Mount Meru Climb - Spectacular volcanic crater, stunning wildlife views, less crowded trails
Take on Meru with Ascend Tanzania for a wild and scenic challenge
Mount Meru is located within Arusha National Park in Tanzania and is excellent for climbing. It is highly recommended to do a Mount Meru Climb as a warm-up before summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, as it is a good plan for altitude acclimatization. Additionally, Mount Meru trekking is less crowded than the Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing routes.
During your Mount Meru Trek, you may encounter animals such as giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, gazelles, baboons, colobus monkeys, and various types of birds. This makes the trek enjoyable as you get to experience a walking safari.
The entire ridge walk on Mount Meru is a breathtaking climb and offers 360-degree views from the summit of Meru. Additionally, you can see Mt. Kilimanjaro from Mount Meru's peak, which is an exhilarating experience.
Unlike Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru has only one official route to the summit – the 'Momella Route.'
We recommend a 3-day Mount Meru Climbing tour, although we offer both a 3 and 4-day Mount Meru Climbing itinerary. You will spend the nights in the so-called “Swiss” huts, which are an unexpected find in Africa.
Even at the top of the volcano, animals roam, especially buffalo. At the foot of Mt. Meru, you often meet giraffes, elephants, warthogs, antelopes, baboons, and a wide variety of birds. To ensure your safety, the group is accompanied by an armed ranger.
On the Mount Meru Climbing tour, you will cross many different vegetation zones, including open grassland, mountain forests, swamps, giant heather, and rocky terrain, giving you the chance to experience the authentic thrill of Africa.
Book your Mount Meru Climbing tour with us and get the perfect warm-up for Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing. Experience the wildlife, the views, and the thrill of the trek. Don't just dream about it – climb it
- The ascent to the volcano, Mt. Meru, is a perfect preparation for Climbing Kilimanjaro.
- You can acclimatize to the heights (around 15,000 feet) and test out your equipment, allowing you to make necessary adjustments to your gear during the rest day between climbing Kilimanjaro.
- The most important aspect is practising ascending at night since it is not very pleasant to do this when it is almost dark and quite cold.

"Excellent Company To Climb With"
I booked my Kilimanjaro climb (6 Day Machame route) with Ascend Tanzania because I was travelling solo and on a budget
