Best time:
whole year but in April and May, a 4
wheel drive is necessary.
How to get there:
from Arusha, a 30-minute drive. The
park is on the outskirts off the

To do:
Mount Meru (4566 m); you climb
through a variety of landscapes - a
plain, forests, moorlands, and a
lava desert - It is compulsory to be
accompanied by an armed park warden
because of the animals (elephants,
buffaloes). From the summit, you
will have an impressive view of the
crater and 3000 meters below of
eruption cone. It's a 3day
roundtrip. The best months to climb
are from July to February. Drizzles
in November.
Do not miss:
the climb to Ngurdoto crater, in the
forest inhabited by colobus,
monkeys. The walk (with a warden)
between Kitoto and the Mount Meru
crater. A picnic in one of the
designated sites
