Mount Meru 1 Day Hiking Tour Package Overview 2024
Our one-day Meru hike package is designed for guest who has limited time and has no interests of reaching the summit of the second highest Mountain in Tanzania. You are to get soaked to the culture of people living in the up-side of the mountain while viewing the breath-taking greenery and some animals. It all starts from Tengeru Cultural Center 12km's from Arusha Town in the slopes of the mountain. Mount Meru one day trekking lasts for seven hours you will cover 18kms going up and down.
Even just hiking and camping on the slopes or visiting the ash cone in the much lower crater are walking safaris that I can warmly recommend. You will be amazed by the amount of wildlife you can find on this mountain, the vegetation is stunning all the way, and Meru simply isn't as overrun as Kilimanjaro is. (For people who are doing walking safaris on the lower slopes or in other areas of Arusha National Park there are several campgrounds. And for those wanting to do a safari in style there are a couple of very comfortable lodges just outside Arusha National Park.
