Powered by a final rush of adrenaline, you scramble to the snow-capped summit of the fifth-tallest mountain in Africa. In the distance, beyond the clouds and the towering silhouette of Kilimanjaro, you can see the radiant glow of the rising sun.

Where is Mount Meru located?

Mount Meru is located in north-eastern Tanzania. It is one of Africa’s best trekking routes  due to the incredible views from its crater.

Like Kilimanjaro, Meru is an  active volcano , but its last minor eruption was over a century ago, in 1910. Millions of years ago, a significant eruption blew off the top of the volcano, giving it a horseshoe shape . Its summit collapsed around 7,800 years ago, and much of the volcano’s bulk was lost.

German explorers  first summited it  in the early 20th century while colonizing East Africa. However, whether Carl Uhlig led the first successful expedition in 1901 or Fritz Jaeger in 1904 is disputed.

The mountain is sometimes confused with Meru Peak in the Himalayas. However, Mount Meru in Tanzania is safer and offers an attainable challenge for trekking enthusiasts .
