We recommend trekking Mount Meru, and then Kilimanjaro for people who are new to high altitude climbing. Benefits of beginning with low altitude Mountains like Meru, is the best way to experience high altitude before ascending the highest peaks like Kilimanjaro. Certainly, the main challenge of the Kilimanjaro hike is altitude sickness. Hence, when you can manage to acclimatise well, Mount Kilimanjaro ascent is easier, and you can summit to Kibo peak.
ON top of that, Mount Meru climbing benefits are more apart from acclimatisation. Since Mount Meru is located inside Arusha National Park, we offer you a short wildlife viewing tour before beginning to trek. And another advantage of the Mount Meru expedition is to hike to its two peaks. Our guides lead you to hike Little Meru in a crater, and also climb to its summit peak, the highest point at 4566m. Furthermore, Mount Meru is suitable for a family trek who want to taste mountain climbing, and can also view Mount Kilimanjaro. Most families can climb Mount Meru without going to Kilimanjaro. As a family vacation, most combine the Mount Meru hike, and then go on a Tanzania safari.
Both Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro have day trip hike options, to see Mountain forest animals, waterfalls, and then take it as a body physical exercise. From the above details, we hope you can compare Mount Meru to Kilimanjaro. This is a comparison of similarities and differences between Meru Vs Kilimanjaro. After that, an epic sunrise summit is exciting to see when you book trips in Months from September and October, and January to March. However, generally the best months to climb Mountains in Tanzania are June to December, and January to March. However, Mount Meru climbing costs vary depending on a 3-day or 4-day trip. In 2026, Mount Meru climb prices range from 650 to 850 USD $ per person.
