4 Days Mount Meru Trekking
Description
Mount Meru stands at a height of 4,566 m, and mark as the second highest mountain in Tanzania and the fifth highest on the African Continent. Its distinct appearance was formed around 250,000 years ago by a tremendous volcanic eruption that destroyed the entire eastern flank, leaving a horseshoe-shaped crater. Not only does Mount Meru boast impressive views and diverse vegetation, it also gives you the chance to see some wildlife in the form of a walking safari. On your trek you might come across large game such as giraffes, buffaloes, baboons, elephants, antelopes and colobus monkeys. As the vegetation changes from dense mountain rain forest into heather and moorland and finally alpine desert, the frequency of animals you will see becomes scarcer, shifting your focus from animals to landscape. You will be accompanied by an armed park ranger on your tour.

We did the 4 days Mount Meru trek with Simon, Joseph and Sagillo were so outstanding. They led the amazing team that got us to safely climb Mount Meru. This trek was still challenging and required the efforts and experience from our crew. They guided us day after day through the tough terrain. We had excellent equipment with us, like the tents that kept off the rain, enough food and water and all the necessary supplies. The six of us completed the trek and are now back safely home. I have to thank Jackson who made all this possible and his team at the office. Asante sana.
We planned our Mt Meru trek for a couple of months and working with Jackson was a great experience. He took us through the ropes with his detailed explanations, pre-trek info, travel requirements and so on and so on. The trek was great, and we were lucky that the weather was great. Guide Kimario was on top of his game making our trek safe, fun and a romantic couple experience. They provided us with great three hot meals, snacks, candy and hot chocolate, coffee, juices and water. Maua provided waterproof ziploc bags, gaiters and other necessary equipment. Kimario was very thorough in his approach, health checks every evening, briefing on the next day's activities..... We had an awesome experience and will definitely go on the next adventure with Maua Adventures. They are really good
