Your Tanzania safari at a glance
At 4,566m, Mount Meru is Tanzania's second-highest peak and one of Africa's most dramatic volcanic cones, with a sheer ash cone and collapsed crater wall visible for most of the climb. The route starts inside Arusha National Park, so early stretches come with genuine wildlife — giraffe, buffalo and colobus monkeys are common — before the trail steepens toward the summit ridge.
