The dramatic crater of Mount Meru is often neglected in favour of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro to the east, but a visit to this spectacular mountain, located within Arusha National Park, is an unforgettable experience. Its lower slopes are covered in dense highland forest, where black and white colobus monkeys play, and buffalo graze concealed beneath the thick foliage.

The extinct volcano’s extensive base gives way to a perfectly formed crater, and another internal crater whose walls are sharp, sheer cliffs. An ash cone forms a subsidiary peak, and the Momela Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater are visible from Meru’s slopes.

Mount Meru is popular with trekkers attempting to reach the extinct volcano's 4566m summit. Views of Kilimanjaro from the slopes of Mount Meru can be spectacular on a clear day.
