Discover the rich heritage of the Meru people, a Bantu community that has lived on the fertile slopes of Mount Meru for more than eight centuries. Known for their deep agricultural traditions, the Meru continue to cultivate the land with remarkable skill, creating a lush landscape of crops, forests, and family farms. During your visit to their village in Tengeru, you’ll immerse yourself in their daily life and culture as you explore vibrant fields, walk shaded paths, and meet the families who call this beautiful region home.
Your guided trek leads you through a peaceful blend of nature and agriculture, with visits to traditional homes where you’ll learn how the Meru live, cook, and farm. A delicious local lunch is included, offering an authentic taste of Meru hospitality. You’ll then enjoy a short hike up the village slopes for a stunning viewpoint overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro — weather permitting, of course.
This experience can be done either on foot or by bicycle, allowing you to choose the pace and style that suits you best. For an even richer day, you can add our hands-on coffee tour at a local plantation or visit the nearby Mangalia Waterfall, both located within the village area.
A perfect blend of culture, nature, and community—this tour offers a deeper connection to life on the slopes of Mount Meru.
