Standing 4566 meters high, this extinct volcano boasts a collapsed
crater of eerie beauty. The floor is encircled by lush forests populated with an amazing
array of wildlife. Dominating the crater is an ash cone almost 1500 meters high, serving
as a reminder of the fury that once erupted from this now tranquil environment.
Though Meru's summit is rocky and barren, its slopes are highly fertile, with
many streams and thick forests. Located in Arusha
National Park, Meru and its surrounding terrain is home to a large population of
animals, including elephants and lions.
