What's this trip about?

    A Simply Stunning Combination Of Mt Meru And  Mountain Kilimanjaro Acclimatisation trek on lovely Mount Meru, Game drive in the Arusha National Park, Trek the scenic Machame route on Kilimanjaro, Great value - Kilimanjaro park fees and all meals included. On this double peak holiday we acclimatize with a trek to the summit of Mount Meru before moving on to climb Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. As well as being a worthy objective in its own right, the ascent of Mount Meru prior to tackling Kilimanjaro means that you will be well acclimatized and this will ensure that your experience in Tanzania is remembered as a holiday rather than a feat of endurance. Flying in to Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania, gives us speedy access to Mount Meru (4566m).
