Mount Meru 2010

This event has now been postponed until further notice. If you are interested then please Contact Us and we can keep your details on record.

In order to raise funds in 2010 where we will be climbing Mount Meru. If this is something you are interested in then please read on...

Mt. Meru (4,566 m.) is the second highest mountain in Tanzania and a much underrated mountain climb because of its close proximity to Kilimanjaro. It is a horseshoe-shaped volcanic crater with a spectacularly narrow ridge and superb all round views. The cliffs of the inner wall below the summit are over 1500 m. high, and inside the caldera is a subsidiary peak called the Ash Cone (3,670 m.) that last erupted only 100 years ago. There is an immense variety of tree and plant life, adding considerably to the interest of the trek. You are almost certain to see buffaloes, warthogs, monkeys, and a variety of birdlife. Giraffe and elephant are also quite common. The views from Meru to Kilimanjaro, and of the Meru crater itself are incredible.

If climbing Mount Meru does not satisfy your desire for Africa then we will be offering an addendum to the 7 day trip which will take you through the beautiful country of Rwanda to go and see your fund raising efforts in action by volunteering to spend 4 days at the Noel Orphanage in Gisenyi. The Noel is home to 645 orphaned children who range from 0 to 18 years old. You will have the opportunity for a number of different activities and we would encourage you to visit the orphanage to really see what the Point Foundation is trying to achieve. There will also be an opportunity, at an additional cost, to visit the mountain gorillas in Pfunda National Park where you can view silver backs and as the natives say “visit your brothers and sisters” - this is truly an experience not to be missed!
