Reisroute
Mount Meru is met 4566 meter de op één na hoogste berg van Tanzania. Alleen de Kibo en de Mawenzi (de hoogste toppen van het Kilimanjaro massief) steken verder de lucht in. De berg is gevormd door vulkanische activiteit in de Oost-Afrikaanse Riftvallei. Ongeveer 250.000 jaar geleden werd de hele oostflank van de vulkaan weggeblazen door een gewelddadige uitbarsting, een indrukwekkend gezicht tot op de dag van vandaag.
De berg ligt midden in het Arusha National Park, dus de wandeling op de eerste dag heeft een bijzondere charme. In het laagland van de berg zie je onder begeleiding van een ranger bavianen, buffels, giraffen en ander wild. De beklimming voert door verschillende vegetatiezones, van het grasland naar het regenwoud en via de heide en heide naar de alpiene woestijn. Een geweldige berg, die onterecht in de schaduw van de Kilimanjaro staat.
De Meru is technisch moeilijker dan de Kilimanjaro en vereist een goede conditie - de laatste 1000 meter zijn behoorlijk steil. Klimvaardigheden zijn echter niet vereist.
