4 day Mount Meru climb
Description
Tanzania’s second and the African continents fourth highest mountain towers at an impressive 4566m or 14980ft above the ground just east of the Kilimanjaro region in Arusha National Park. Generally serving as a great warm up (acclimatization) trek for a Kilimanjaro climb, Mt Meru is also a spectacular trek in it’s own right and offers an exciting first day through the park forest (almost like a walking safari) with an armed ranger (shared with other groups) before taking you on the dry alpine zones up to the scree filled peak. Views of Kilimanjaro in the distance are seen on a clear day as well as a fascinating view down into the Meru crater.

We are Moni and Kies, two friends from germany in our midthirties. With Shahtours we went on the Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro tour and did the machame trek in 6 days. Both were amazing trips and we will never forget this adventure. The organisation was done via whats app. Super easy and convenient, also very professional. To optimize the first offer to meet our special requirement were no problem at all. The briefing before the start of the tour was very helpful to know what clothes to bring. When the tours started we met the whole team and were able to say hello. I really liked that because I want to know the people. That also helped to get in contact easier during the tour. The whole team was super professional. Everything was always on time and well prepared. The equipment like tent and additionally rented jacket and hiking boots were very good. The guides always had good advice during the tour and answered every question. Every day there was a debriefing and a briefing for the next day so we always knew what to expect. In the morning an evening there was a daily check of blood oxygen, heart rate and for symptoms of altitude sickness. I felt super safe the whole time. The team did everything to support us reaching the summit. The food was amazing and plenty. I'm so thankful for that adventurous experience and can highly recommend booking with shah tours. A very huge thank you goes to the Team of Calvin Shayo. They really made that trip unforgetable to us.
