Day 1: The Journey Begins to Tanzania

Today marks the beginning of an incredible journey! Almost all travelers have arrived safely at Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha, Tanzania and the others are on their way. Similar to Mount Kilimanjaro, which comprises of three volcano cones, Mount Meru is also a dormant volcano and stands at 14,968 ft. Let’s hope our climbers have good weather on Mount Kilimanjaro because on a clear day, you can see Mount Meru from Mount Kilimanjaro which is 43 miles west! Keep an eye on this trip journal! We’ll be posting everyday from now until the end of the trip!
