Mt. Meru is a dormant stratovolcano located in the heart of Arusha National Park, just 50 miles west of the iconic Mt. Kilimanjaro. Reaching 4,565m high, it is a mighty peak in its own right, and while it often gets overlooked by hikers who dream of reaching Uhuru Peak, it is the perfect warm-up trek, with challenging ascents and a stunning display of wildlife.
