With all the exitement in planning an epic adventure you almost loose sight of the fact that in reality you are corresponding with strangers in who you trust it all.
The strangers soon become femiliar faces who greet you with so much warmth, it makes a very long flight worth it all. Over the next 24 hours a stary eye tourist taken back with of all the beauty nature offered, was in depth briefed on every aspect and information needed for my journey.
I was more than impressed by the torough checking of my gear and equipment. No second guessing any possible short commings. And on offereing was a range of, in perfect condition, back-up gear for use.
The tracking up mount Meru started with lots of cheer and set a perfect pace for the whole journey. Not a moment went without a smile and words of encouragement.
The amazing beauty of the mountain made me want to take every step even slower. Pole pole is more than just slowly slowly. It is a way to make you appreciate every moment of being one with the harmony of the mountain.
After the long hours of tracking per day the arrival at Miriakamba and Saddle huts was almost to soon. Every setting for dinner, breafast or lunch was perfectly prepared and almost fit for a queen.
The grand finale of Little Meru and sumit night was never more or less part of my unforgettable adventure. Every second of my journey was met with a team of people that had my best interest and happiness at heart.
Team Moana Thanzania is spectacular in every field. There was no lack to knowledge and expertise. There is no place for an I in this group of people who came together to make my dream become a reallity.
