    Choosing Mount Meru: Why Climbing Tanzania’s Second Highest Peak Rivals Kilimanjaro

    Welcome back! This is episode 2 of our series, Untamed Routes. Today, we’re venturing into Tanzania to explore Mount Meru, the country’s second-highest peak, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, Kilimanjaro.  Untamed Routes is about seeking out destinations that aren’t necessarily on everyone’s radar.
