Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro are two iconic peaks located in Tanzania, attracting adventurers and nature enthusiasts from around the world.   Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), is a dormant stratovolcano featuring three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. It offers a diverse landscape, ranging from lush rainforests and alpine meadows to barren lunar deserts and glaciers. Trekkers experience a unique journey through multiple climatic zones, culminating in breathtaking views from Uhuru Peak. The mountain boasts several popular climbing routes, including the Marangu Route, known for its huts and gentler slopes; the Machame Route, favored for its scenic vistas; the Lemosho Route, featuring a longer and more gradual ascent; the Rongai Route, which approaches from the north and offers drier conditions; and the challenging Umbwe Route, suited for experienced climbers. Mount Kilimanjaro provides a challenging yet rewarding adventure, showcasing the rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty of East Africa.   Mount Meru, on the other hand, stands at 4,566 meters (15,279 feet) and is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, Kilimanjaro. However, it offers an equally stunning experience for trekkers. Mount Meru's rugged terrain features dramatic cliffs and lush forests, providing a habitat for diverse wildlife. The trek to the summit is challenging and less travelled than Kilimanjaro, offering a more secluded and adventurous experience. The most popular route to the summit is the Momella Route, which allows climbers to enjoy spectacular views, particularly from the top of the crater rim.
