Safari summary
The best Mount Meru climbing tour itinerary is for 3 days and 2 nights in 2023, 2024, and 2025 from Arusha and Moshi, Tanzania. One of the top attractions in Arusha National Park is Mount Meru. At least three days and two nights are needed for the entire ascent. The climb passes through several different naturalistic environments with a wide range of flora and animals and an intriguing blending of nature and society.
Also, these three days are enough to try Meru's one route to the summit, although four days are highly advised for acclimatization. Before climbing Kilimanjaro, most alpine climbers acclimatize on Meru. Due to the volcano eruption, the mountain has less snow than before.
