Mount Meru Trekking

Embark on the adventure of Mount Meru Trekking, Tanzania’s second-highest peak at 4562 meters, renowned as the fourth highest in Africa. Situated just 70 km from Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru has gained popularity as a favored “warm-up” trek for those preparing to conquer Kilimanjaro.

Key Highlights:

• Acclimatization Peak: Little Meru (3801 m/12533 ft), the secondary peak, serves as an acclimatization walk on the trek’s second day.
• Dual Summits: Achieve certificates for reaching both Little Meru and the primary summit, known as “Socialist Peak.”

• Group Trekking: Experience the journey in a group accompanied by porters, cooks, and guides.
• Varied Vegetation Zones: Traverse diverse vegetation zones over multiple days, providing a preview of Kilimanjaro’s ecological diversity.
• Midnight Summit Attempt: Commence your summit attempt around midnight, reaching the peak at sunrise.
• Rapid Descent: Descend an impressive 2000 meters on the same day, mirroring the exhilarating descent of Kilimanjaro’s summit day.

Altitude Challenge:

• Height Adaptation: At 4562 meters (14967 feet), Mount Meru demands physiological adjustments to acclimatize to the altitude.
