Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4,5685m.and
the fifth highest in Africa. It is best to allow three days for
climbing Meru since it involves a 3,500m altitude trek. There are
two huts available to climbers on the mountain and firewood is
supplied. The best time to climb Meru is between October and
February. The mountain is usually climbed from Olkokola on the
western side of the crater and you need a park ranger as an escort
due to the threat of buffalo.
