Tanzania Fig Tree Arch, Mount Meru trek

The famous Fig Tree Arch is one of the most fascinating natural landmarks along the Mount Meru trail. Over many years, the tree has grown around the path, creating a huge natural archway that hikers can actually walk straight through. It's a perfect little stop to admire the incredible shapes and strength of nature before continuing deeper into the forest.
