The Mount Meru Day Hike offers an exciting adventure on Tanzania’s second-highest peak, located in Arusha National Park. The hike provides stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, including the distant peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and the vibrant wildlife of the park.
The trek typically begins early in the morning and takes you through diverse ecosystems, starting from lush rainforest to alpine meadows. As you ascend, you may encounter animals like giraffes, buffalo, and various bird species. Reaching a vantage point such as the Saddle, a ridge offering panoramic views, is a rewarding highlight of the hike. The day hike is suitable for those looking for a moderate challenge, with breathtaking scenery and a chance to experience Mount Meru’s natural beauty without a multi-day climb.
