Arusha - Mount Meru
In the morning we are collected from the hotel for road transfer to Arusha National Park. At the Momella gate we finish registration formalities before setting off with our guide and armed ranger. Wildlife is abundant! The forest section is especially scenic with strangler figs and the possibility of seeing buffalo grazing in one of the clearings. In the late afternoon we reach a viewpoint before heading onto Miriakamba hut for dinner.
