De indrukwekkende top van Mount Meru ligt op 4566 meter boven zeeniveau en overschaduwt het Arusha National Park, een van de weinige nationale parken in Tanzania waar je kanosafari's kunt maken en betaalbare wandelingen onder leiding van een gids kunt maken over de met buffels gevulde vlaktes. Als je op zoek bent naar nog meer wandeluitdagingen, dan is de top van Mount Meru een geweldige optie. Deze kan worden bereikt in 4 dagen van extreem schilderachtige trektochten door regenwoud vol vogels en zelfs bij de Mariakamba hutten kun je olifanten en buffels tegenkomen, vandaar de eis van het park om met een ranger van het nationale park mee te trekken.
Alle beklimmingen van Bush2Beach Safaris worden geleid door hooggekwalificeerde Kilimanjaro gidsen en dragers. Er zijn een paar uitstapjes, zodat je de tijd hebt om hoogte te winnen op de Little Meru en om te genieten van de prachtige uitzichten die je onderweg vanaf elk punt hebt. Als je de "Twin Peak Challenge" overweegt, dan krijg je door de beklimming van Mt Meru het beste uitzicht ooit op de Kilimanjaro terwijl hij op een mystieke manier boven een zee van laaghangende bewolking op je wacht. Je overnacht in berghutten met ijskoude douches en toiletten als je die wilt trotseren. Zoals bij alle beklimmingen van de Kilimanjaro zullen de meeste wandelaars de Meru 's nachts beklimmen (geen must op Meru), maar het geeft je wel de kans om een verbazingwekkende zonsopgang te zien boven een deken van laaghangende bewolking als de zon begint te klimmen met Kili als achtergrond. Voor de afdaling zijn er twee opties: de korte route, die in principe dezelfde klimroute volgt, of de lange route, die je via een zwaar bebost toegangspad voor voertuigen naar beneden brengt naar een prachtige waterval voor de lunch en verder naar de beroemde vijgenboomboog voordat je terugwandelt naar de gate en je safaritransfervoertuig.
Aankomst op de luchthaven van Kilimanjaro - je wordt opgehaald door je chauffeur-gids en naar je accommodatie gebracht. Check in bij de accommodatie van je keuze. Je ontmoet je Kilimanjaro gids en krijgt een briefing over je komende beklimming. Een goede gelegenheid om eventuele last-minute vragen te stellen en voor jou en je gids om je kleding en uitrusting te controleren.
