In a few words

Still relatively unknown, Mount Meru (4566 m) is a prime peak for lovers of challenging alpine hiking , away from the crowds. Located in Arusha National Park , it offers a gradual ascent through rich and preserved ecosystems : rainforest , open grasslands , and then spectacular volcanic ridges leading to the summit.

The adventure begins in Arusha with a personalized briefing before a transfer to the Momela Gate , the starting point of the trek. For three days, you'll trek safely, accompanied by armed rangers , encountering a diverse array of wildlife : giraffes , zebras , antelopes , and buffalo . The route, more technical than the Kilimanjaro trek, reveals exceptional views of the cinder cone , the Meru crater , and, at the summit, a breathtaking aurora borealis with Kilimanjaro as your backdrop.

Once the climb is complete, return to the hotel for a well-deserved rest. Extensions to Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro, or the great Tanzanian parks are possible to prolong the experience.

The highlights

  • Second highest peak in Tanzania (4,566 m)
  • Hiking in Arusha National Park, in the heart of wild nature
  • Possible wildlife sightings: giraffes, buffalo, zebras, antelopes, etc.

Our guides are certified Wilderness First Responders (WFR). They have the skills and tools necessary to make critical medical and evacuation decisions on site.


Our staff carry bottled oxygen on all climbs and can administer it quickly to treat moderate or severe cases of altitude sickness.


On the northern routes, our team carries a portable stretcher to evacuate climbers who need to descend but cannot walk on their own. Wheeled stretchers, provided by the park, are available on the other routes.
