Mount Meru

Mount Meru is one of the most beautiful volcanoes in Africa and the second highest mountain in Tanzania. Located within Arusha National Park, it provides an optimum location to spot some of the birds and wildlife that inhabit the area.

The summit of Mount Meru is reached by a narrow ridge, which provides stunning views of the volcanic cone lying several thousand feet below in the crater. The ascent is steep but the route passes through parkland, forest, a giant heather zone and moorland.

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology, Mount Meru is a sacred mountain considered the center of the universe.
