🏔️ Mount Meru Trekking Overview

Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), located in Arusha National Park, just 70 km west of Mount Kilimanjaro. Though less famous than Kilimanjaro, Meru offers a challenging, scenic, and less crowded alternative — and is often used as an acclimatization trek before climbing Kilimanjaro.
