4-Day Northern Tanzania Safari Extension
Extend your Tanzania holiday with a 4-day safari from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with a cultural stop arranged along the route.
Walk from giraffe and buffalo country to the exposed crater rim of Socialist Peak on a guided four-day Mount Meru adventure.
4 Days / 3 Nights
2–10 Climbers
Mount Meru rises above Arusha National Park to 4,566 metres and offers one of Tanzania's finest short mountain journeys. The lower trail crosses open grassland and forest where giraffes, buffalo, warthogs and colobus monkeys may be seen, accompanied by an armed park ranger. Higher up, the route follows a dramatic volcanic ridge to Socialist Peak with sunrise views toward Kilimanjaro.
The four-day itinerary provides a more comfortable acclimatisation profile than the shorter option. Meru is rewarding in its own right and is also excellent preparation for a later Kilimanjaro climb.
