Mt. Meru

Mount Meru is Tanzania's second-highest mountain. Situated within the Arusha National Park, it's a favorite haunt of hikers, as well as animal and bird lovers who prefer to steer clear of the crowds attracted to nearby Mount Kilimanjaro. Energetic visitors can hire a guide and follow the trail up Mount Meru. The trail heads through montane forests to the half-way point of Elephant Ridge. From there it's possible to get great views of the summit ridge.
