Mount Meru climbing routes for beginners: What you need to know?

Mount Meru is the second-highest peak in Tanzania and offers a thrilling yet manageable adventure, especially for beginners.

 

Why choose Mount Meru as a beginner?

 

Mount Meru climbing offers many unique advantages for first-time climbers. Those advantages are listed below:

 

  • Shorter Duration ( 3-4 days):

 

Short duration leads to less commitment demand and quick acclimatization.

 

  • Peaceful Trek:

 

Due to the huge popularity of Kilimanjaro among tourists the crowds on the Mount Meru Climbing routes are less and thus the beginners get to experience a more peaceful trek. 

 

  • Better Success Rate:

 

Compared with Kilimanjaro trekking records, Mount Meru trekking records show better success rates. 

 

  • Rich Wildlife and scenic diversity: 

 

On your way up to Mount Meru, you may encounter giraffes, buffaloes and even elephants.

 

Given below is the list of instant tips for a successful Mount Meru Climb:

 

  • Aim for aerobic fitness and leg endurance. Hike with a loaded daypack before your trip. 
  • Select a 4-day itinerary as it offers better acclimatization than the rushed 3-day option. 
  • Hydrate your body and eat well for easy altitude adjustment and energy
  • Reduce strain on knees and improve balance by using trekking poles
  • Your backpack should have warm clothing, rain gear, good hiking boots, and headlamps.
