The Meru wildlife and sunset combo is a slow, beautiful day on the plains between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. You meet rescued servals, big cats and giraffes at an ethical sanctuary in the morning, settle in for a bush lunch and pool time at the Aya Sophia wildlife estate, then climb into the Meru foothills for sundowners as the light turns gold over the Rift Valley.
Three of our gentlest experiences, planned around the light and joined into one guided day at 10% less than booking them separately.
Booking and pick-up: Free pick-up from your hotel in Arusha, Moshi or the Kilimanjaro Airport area. Elsewhere on request. Book by 20:00 for next-day trips; same-day on request via WhatsApp.
