Best Tanzania Safari offers Mt Meru Treks. The second highest mountain in Tanzania, this is a wonderful trek in its own right, but is also a great acclimatization trek before attempting Mt Kilimanjaro. There is only one route on Mt Meru and the trek is typically done in 4 days, although a 3 day itinerary is also possible. Overnights are in dormitory style huts with solar lighting, similar to Marangu Route on Mt Kilimanjaro.
All treks are accompanied by an armed park ranger since at the lower altitudes there are a fair number of animals. Note: Depending on the availability of rangers, Arusha National Park has the authority to have groups from different tour companies share one park ranger. Each group will still have its own climb staff servicing their respective clients. But we cannot guarantee that your group will not be along side a different group since the decision to share a park ranger belongs to Arusha National Park Authorities exclusively. The packing list, suggested tips, mountain diet, safety, etc. for Mt Meru is the same as Mt Kilimanjaro.
