Tourism is the back bone of this town

Mount Meru is one of
Africa's highest and most beautiful volcanoes. The route to the
summit passes through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather
zone and moorland. Finally, the summit is reached by a narrow, barren
ridge which provides stunning views of the Ash Cone lying several
thousand feet below in the crater and Kilimanjaro in the background.
Over 400 species of birds, rhino, elephant, buffalo, baboon, warthog,
black and white Colobus monkey and duiker are all found in this
delightful "gem amongst parks". The visit to the
Ngurdoto crater and Momella lakes, with their superb scenery, flamingoes
and other wildlife, is an unforgettable experience
