Tanzania's Second Highest Mountain - Mount Meru (14,979')Mount Meru only 40 kilometres away from it's more famous neighbour is Tanzania's second highest mountain and at 4566m(14979ft) can provide spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the surrounding countryside. It is a classic volcanic cone with a dramatic horseshoe crater or caldera. The trek to the summit takes three days with two nights on the mountain either in tents or mountain huts. A trek up Mount Meru is an ideal way to acclimatise for the ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro, although not to be considered lightly and should not be rushed, or the effects of altitude may be a problem. Mount Meru is situated in Arusha National Park.
