Mount Meru is arranged in the center of Arusha National Park and 50 miles west of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Mount Meru is a colossal dormant well of magma towering to 14, 980 feet (4,565 meters).Mount Meru Climbing is an ideal climb for those preparing for Mt. Kilimanjaro due to itselevation and acclimatization opportunity.This trek has fewer groups compared to Mount Kilimanjaro and is a difficult climb due to its steep slopes. Since Mount Meru trekking starts from Arusha National Park, explorers must climb with a guide due to the wildlife living on the mountain. On the lower inclinations of the mountain, hikers can observe elephants, giraffes, and buffalo. As explorers continue with their climb, the trial passes thenorth edge of the spring of spouting magma's gap along a spectacular edge line. Duringthe climb, explorers rest in relegated huts along the trail. Explorers accomplish the summit during sunrise allowing for amazing viewpoints on Mt. Kilimanjaro and of Mt. Meru Crater.
This is Africa’s fifth peak (4563m) and Tanzania second after Kilimanjaro, with lower slopes covered in dense highland forest, where colobus monkeys play and buffalos graze. The extinct volcano’s extensive base gives way to a beautifully formed crater. From the slope of the mountain you can see the momella lake and Ngurudoto crater. Climbing Mount Meru can be tricky but the absence of attitude sickness makes it a beautiful climb that you should look forward to make.

It was a wonderful experience. We found a perfect organization with a very professional guide Shafi. We enjoyed a lot every single day watching a lot of animals and amazing landscapes.
We decided to go on a 3-days safari in Serengeti & Ngorongoro National Park. After doing extensive research over internet, reading several reviews we eventually chose Face of Africa.
It was amazing . Our guide was very kind and helpful. He could answer every single question, and it never happened to be annoying. Beautiful experience : Thank ...
We had a great experience with FOAA. Each driver/guide has been through a rigorous training program at the university and had rich information to share about ecology, mammals, birds, and plants.
I was looking for a provider for my day trip to the Arusha National Park. Via Instagram I joined Faces of Africa Adventures and booked my tour there. The driver and guide had a safe driving style.
The communication from Hamadi was prompt. Our guides Shaffie and Muta were very knowledgeable and found some incredible animals and birds for us!
Just returned from a week long safari with Face of Africa Adventures. Hamadi was very helpful as we planned and prepared for our trip. Overall, it was a superb Safari experience and I highly recommend Face of Africa Adventures.
We went on a 5-day safari with Face of Africa Adventures and it was truly the trip of a life time. Our guide Shaffie was experienced and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Face of Africa Adventures.

Very nice trip to Tanzania!, Tanzania northern circuit organized by Face of Africa Adventures from the quick and friendly emails when first enquiring and booking to the safari itself we had an incredible time.
Unforgettable Safari tour with experienced and trustworthy organization. Face of Africa Adventures gave us initially a warm welcome in Tanzania by picking us up at Kilimanjaro airport in the middle of the night.

I recommend Face of Africa Adventures to anyone looking for a serious and affordable tour operator in Arusha for a safari or for any other fun activities in the region. It Awesome stay in Arusha...
4 days 3-night Camping Safari, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti. I found Face of Africa online and contacted Hamadi to book. You transfer 30% of the cost in advance and then pay the rest on arrival.
GOOD BUDGET SAFARI!, We booked a safari with Hamadi and it was just awesome! He organized not even the tour for us; he even helped us with bus tickets to Dar es Salaam.
