Tour Description

Mount Meru, standing as Tanzania’s second highest Mountain and Africa’s fifth, is renowned for its stunning vistas and rich plant life. This mountain also provides an excellent chance for a walking safari, where you might encounter wildlife such as giraffes, buffaloes, baboons, elephants, antelopes, and colobus monkeys. As you ascend, the vegetation transitions from lush mountain rainforest to heather and moorland, eventually giving way to alpine desert. Along the trail, wildlife sightings become rarer, shifting the emphasis towards appreciating the breathtaking landscape.
