A representative from Aardvark Safaris Tanzania will meet and greet you as soon as you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and take you to the Mt. Meru Hotel, for your overnight. Arusha, nestled in the shadow of majestic Mount Meru, is a dynamic, fast- growing town and a famed embarkation point for Tanzania safaris. Because of its altitude (roughly 4,600 feet above sea level), Arusha is blessed with a pleasant climate, perfect for the coffee plantations that surround it.
