6 Days Mount Meru Hiking

mount meru is a spectacular volcano located inside Arusha National Park. At 14,980 feet high, Meru serves as a preparation to Mount Kilimanjaro or a complete standalone hike in it of itself. The crowds that can plague Kilimanjaro are non-existent here, allowing for a solitary, peaceful trek. Accommodations are in wood huts. This trekking can be accomplished in 3/four days.
