On the way up you may see animals such as buffaloes, giraffes, warthogs, elephants, monkeys, gazelles and others. At the first camp we will stop for lunch, dinner and rest for the night.

On arrival at Saddle hut we will relax and have lunch before setting off in the evening for a short hike to Little Meru where we can enjoy the sunset.
