Overview

The shortest route

It is considered the hardest of all the routes because of its steep slope on day 1 and day 2. It is the shortest as by day 2 you are already at Barranco camp. This route is normally done in 6 days. But you can  customize it to do it for more days, for example instead of taking the southern slopes, you may head to the northern circuit hence you will require more days to complete.

Rewarding Trekking Experience

Mount Meru offers a challenging and rewarding trekking experience. Most people think of Mount Meru as only good for getting people ready to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, however, Mount Meru stands alone as a unique, challenging, and beautiful experience even when you are not preparing yourself for Mount Kilimanjaro.

There is a lot more wildlife to be seen and the sense of remoteness and solitude is much stronger than on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain after Mount Kilimanjaro. At the height of 4566 meters, mount Meru is one of Africa’s highest peaks.

Mount Meru is inside Arusha national park, about 70 km west of Mount Kilimanjaro. Unlike Mount Kilimanjaro which has many routes to the summit, Mount Meru has only one route from starting gate to the summit.

Mount Meru has two peaks, the first peak is called Socialist Peak (4566 meters). The Socialist Peak is the summit. Another peak is called Little Meru, which is 3801 meters high.When you climb Mount Meru you will have the option of reaching both the summit

Mount Meru is considered the center of all physical, metaphysical, and spiritual universes.
