The Mount Meru Trek 4 Days offers a scenic and rewarding trekking adventure. Located inside Arusha National Park, Mount Meru (4,566 meters) is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain. It’s perfect for acclimatization before Kilimanjaro or as a peaceful, standalone hike.
Your journey begins in the rainforest, where wildlife is abundant. With luck, you’ll spot giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, monkeys, and antelopes. Unlike other treks, this one includes a park ranger who accompanies you for safety.
Each day brings new terrain. From lush forest to alpine desert, the trail reveals Meru’s natural beauty. You’ll spend nights in mountain huts—Miriakamba Hut and Saddle Hut—where warm meals and good rest prepare you for the summit.
On the third day, the adventure intensifies. Just after midnight, you’ll begin the final push toward Socialist Peak. As you reach the summit at sunrise, enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the vast Arusha plains.
The descent is just as scenic. You’ll pass the crater rim and descend slowly through varied landscapes. With fewer crowds, this route feels intimate and wild.
The Mount Meru Trek 4 Days is challenging yet accessible for fit hikers. It combines wildlife, culture, and breathtaking views. Best of all, it’s one of Tanzania’s most underrated climbs.
