Those that have climbed both Mount Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s second highest peak, Mount Meru often say that the latter is a more difficult climb. Trails are steeper and the ascent to the summit is faster but the rewards of spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Arusha as well as the abundance of small mammals and bird life found during the climb make this experience well worth the effort.
