Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro Summi

Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro Summi Overview

Maximise your chances of summit success by climbing Mt Meru (4566m) AND Kilimanjaro (5895m)

On this double peak holiday we acclimatise with a trek to the summit of Mount Meru (4566m) before moving on to climb Africa's highest mountain, and our ultimate goal, Kilimanjaro (5895m). As well as being a worthy objective in its own right, the ascent of Mount Meru prior to tackling Kilimanjaro means that you will be well acclimatised which increases summit success. Our ascent of the dormant volcano of Mt Meru involves a wonderful 4-day trek, leading through pleasant game-filled parkland and then bamboo forest and moorland, to the dramatic crater rim. We summit Mt Meru at sunrise and we look across to the magnificent snow-capped Kilimanjaro to the east, which in a few days you’ll be standing at the top of watching another sunrise.  We are now in good shape to enjoy the main event – our ascent of Kilimanjaro (5895m). We take to picturesque Machame route which involves 6 days trekking. We ascend to the Shira Plateau and join the Lemosho Route at the Shira Caves. We walk past the Lava Tower and the Great Barranco Wall from where we make our final ascent via Stella Point to the 'Roof of Africa'. A fantastic feat and one that you will never forget.  Further options: Lemosho Route (8 days trekking on Kili) Rongai Route (7 days trekking on Kili) Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya (6 days trekking on Kili)  Confused as to which route to choose?
