OVERVIEW

This beautiful Park has often been called a "little germ" and rightly so. It is only ½ an hour by tarmac road from Arusha town, the safari center of Northern Tanzania. With mountains, valleys, lakes, and small plains clothed in green, it has a wonderful feeling of peace and solitude. It is dominated by Mount Meru, which at 4,566 m (14,980 ft) is the 5th highest free-standing mountain in Africa.

This second highest mountain in Tanzania offers an unforgettable experience and serves as an acclimatization refuge before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
