3 Days Mount Meru trekking 2 night hotel stay

Mt Meru is (4566m) fifth highest mountain on the African continent and the second highest in Tanzania. About 250,000 years ago, a massive volcanic eruption blew away the entire eastern flank of the mountain and left it with the distinctive appearance it has today. The Mt Meru ascent passes through many different vegetation zones. The dry forest of the lower region changes to a dense mountain rain forest, which then turns into scrub land. Closer to the summit, vegetation becomes less and less and gives way to alpine terrain.

During the ascent, you might come across large game such as giraffes, buffaloes, baboons, colobus monkeys and antelopes. For safety purpose, it is obligatory to be accompanied by an armed park ranger on your tour.
