Mount Meru

Mt. Meru is one of Africa’s highest and most beautiful volcanoes. The route to the summit passes through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland. Finally, the summit is reached by a narrow, barren ridge which provides stunning views of the ash cone lying several thousands feet below in the crater with Kilimanjaro providing a stunning background.

Over 400 species of birds; elephant, buffalo, baboon, warthog, black and white Colubus monkey and antelopes are all found in this ecosystem. The visit is an unforgettable experience.
