Mount Meru, standing at 4,566 meters (14,980 ft), is a dormant stratovolcano located in Arusha National Park, Tanzania. Therefore, it sits 70 kilometers (43 miles) west of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
Climbing Mount Meru typically spans four days, though expeditions can be completed in three for those seeking a faster ascent.
On clear days, Mount Meru offers stunning views, sometimes visible from Mount Kilimanjaro. However, the climb through Arusha National Park provides a unique wildlife experience, with hikers passing by various wild animals.
