Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania at 4566 metres (14,979 ft). It is overshadowed by Kilimanjaro, its famous neighbour and frequently overlooked by visitors. But Meru is a spectacular mountain; a trek involves beautiful hiking through the grassland and forest on the mountain’s lower slopes, followed by a dramatic and exhilarating ridge walk to the summit.
