Your ascent in Arusha National Park begins in the company of an armed ranger and highly trained mountain guides. The initial hike resembles a walking safari; expect to encounter giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and possibly elephants along the trail. The hike will take you past the Ngarenanyuki River and a stunning waterfall at Mt. Meru's base. Upon reaching Miriakamba Hut (2500m), a chef will prepare a hot dinner and provide hot water for washing. You can then enjoy the magnificent sunset and overnight stay.
