The dramatic crater of Mount Meru is often neglected in favour of its famous neighbour to the east. Trekking it is an unforgetable experience because the landscape is so special. Mt Meru is 4,556m high and located within Arusha national park.

Colobus monkeys watch you
Mt Meru's lower slopes are covered in dense highland forest, where colobus monkeys play and buffalo graze concealed beneath the thick foliage. From Mount Meru's slopes you can view the Momela Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater.

Perfectly formed crater
The extinct volcano's extensive base gives way to a perfectly formed crater whose walls are sharp, sheer cliffs. An ash cone forms a subsidiary peak. You can reach the summit within three to four days.
