Mt. Meru Climb – 4 Days

Mt. Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania and the fourth highest in Africa. It is located inside of Arusha National Park, a short distance from Moshi. A Meru climb is usually done with either a 3 or 4 day itinerary. It is popular as an acclimatization climb before Mt Kilimanjaro expedition or for those who do not have enough days to dedicate for a Kilimanjaro climb.

3 Days Mount Meru Climbing – Book Your Tour Now

Tanzania has got one of the most exciting trekking adventures in Africa and a 3-day climb up Mount Meru is an ideal way to begin any climber itching to get a shorter but entertaining climb.

Typically regarded as the warm up to big mountains like Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru rises 4,566 meters and has a perfect mix of dramatic sceneries, wildlife and views that may easily fit in a small itinerary of your Mount Kilimanjaro climbing tours.

It is a 3 Days Mount Meru Climbing ascent which is normally commenced at Momella Gate in Arusha national park. The trail passes through the rich rainforest and is full of giraffes, buffalos, and colobus monkeys rising slowly to Miriakamba Hut on Day 1. The Day 2 climbers are also treated to the amazing views of Meru crater with sharp ridges and the Saddle Hut. In very early hours of Day 3 of your 3 Days Mount Meru Climbing the summit push will actually start and culminate at Socialist Peak which will be just in time to view an excellent sunrise above Kilimanjaro which is visible in the distance.

Although Mount Meru might be neglected in comparison to its higher neighbor, it is an amazing mountain to climb by its own right- much less traversed, kaleidoscopic in terms of flora and fauna, and a perfect place to acclimatize.

Those who want more can seek Mount Kilimanjaro climbing tours. It does not matter whether you take the scenic Machame Route, the serene Lemosho Trail or the brief Marangu path, Kilimanjaro is the jewel of East African trekking. Uhuru Peak is 5,895m above sea level and the climb here is more an exercise of the body and mind, but with competent guides, proper itineraries, and properly planned acclimatization, it turns out to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

When you combine the trek of Mount Meru with your Mount Kilimanjaro climbing tours not only you increase your summit success rate but you also get to know the existence of Tanzanian landmark better. Want to do some climbing? Book the 3 Days Mount Meru Climbing.

Stone Town And Prison Island Tour In Zanzibar – Plan Your Trip Now

Tanzania, a country nestled in East Africa, is a land of natural wonders, rich culture, and adventurous opportunities. From the pristine beaches of Zanzibar to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater and the challenging ascent of Mount Meru, Tanzania offers a diverse range of experiences for travellers.

Your journey begins on the enchanting island of Zanzibar, where the air is fragrant with the tantalizing aroma of spices. Zanzibar is often referred to as the "Spice Island" due to its historic role in the global spice trade. A Spice tour here is a sensory delight that lets you witness the cultivation and processing of spices like cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Wander through the alleys of Stone Town, and you will encounter architectural wonders like the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the intricate wooden doors that are a hallmark of Zanzibari craftsmanship. Don't forget to explore the local markets, where you can shop for vibrant fabrics, exotic spices, and unique souvenirs through the best stone town and prison island tour in Zanzibar.

Originally intended to serve as a prison for rebellious slaves, the prison island was never used for its original purpose and instead became a quarantine station for yellow fever patients. Today, Prison Island is a heaven of natural beauty and historical intrigue.

Leaving Zanzibar behind, we venture into mainland Tanzania to explore one of its most iconic natural wonders – Ngorongoro Crater. Often referred to as the "Garden of Eden" or the "Eighth Wonder of the World," this ancient volcanic caldera is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.

As you descend into the crater, you will encounter a diverse range of animals, including lions, elephants, hippos, and rhinos. The unique topography of the crater creates a natural enclosure, making wildlife sightings almost guaranteed. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is also home to the indigenous Maasai people, offering you a chance to learn about their traditional way of life. You should check out Ngorongoro national park and mount meru climbing.

For the adventure seekers and trekkers, Tanzania offers the opportunity to climb Mount Meru, the fifth-highest mountain on the African continent. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbour, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru offers a challenging and rewarding trek.

The ascent to the summit of Mount Meru takes you through lush rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts. Along the way, you will have the chance to spot diverse wildlife and enjoy breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscapes. Standing atop the mountain's peak, you will experience a profound sense of accomplishment and take in the stunning sunrise over Tanzania.

Different 🕷️

when you're woken up suddenly horny and find a surprise between your legs (request)

w/c: 2.5K

pairing: incubus!miguel x f!reader

tags: 18+ smut. no plot just smut, horny demon, somnophilia, non-con, fingering, unprotected sex, breeding mention, so much cum

notes: had meru the succubus in mind when writing just kinda reversed the scenario

Miguel had been all over the city of Nueva York wanting to find fresh meat, a new girl he could fill up. He needed a new pussy that would feel so good against his cock.

But he's gone through half the city and most of the girl's weren't good enough to go for seconds.

He was having such a hard time finding a new victim and his cock was growing impatient. Tonight was taking him longer than usual and his cum was just piling up in his balls with every passing second.

Until finally, he found the most gorgeous girl he's laid his eyes on. Sleeping so peacefully and luckily for him with her bedroom window wide open.

He flew right in and carefully dropped down, turning to look at the sleeping girl in a tee shirt that was hovering over her pretty tits, and a thong.

He felt his cock twitch in his boxers and he slowly climbed on top of your bed. He spread your legs carefully and you continued letting out soft snores.

He brings a hand up to your slit and gently runs a finger up and down. He lets out a quiet moan as you squirm but were still in deep sleep.

He then brings two fingers up and starts rubbing small circles against your clit. You stirred in your sleep and were suddenly having a wet dream playing in your head.

He could feel your wetness slowly start seeping through the fabric which meant he could start playing with you soon.

But he wanted to be patient, you seemed different, and he didn't want to immediately startle you even if his cock was practically begging to be inside you.

And he could already tell your pussy was going to feel so good, so tight and wrap around him flawlessly.

But he shook his head and focused on what was already in front of him.

A pretty little wet spot along your slit, he leaned and took a little sniff, not expecting to fall head over heels with your sweet scent. He rolled his eyes back and inhaled the smell of your arousal.

He then licks the wet spot softly, looking up to see if you're waking up yet but you were still asleep. Even looked pretty while you were sleeping.

He could only just imagine how pretty you're gonna look as soon as he slips inside you. That exact moment his tip goes into your entrance, pure bliss.

He moves your little panties to the side now fully exposing your pretty cunt to him. Along with all your arousal that was now dripping down to your asshole.

He couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips as soon as he saw how soaked you were. He hadn't even begun playing with you to the best of his ability yet.

He spread your lips with two fingers then licked a strip from your entrance and up to your clit then went back down as you let out a little mumbled moan. With a smirk he continued, going nice and slow to make sure to savor every drop of you.

He wraps his arms around your thighs and then dives in, immediately devouring your pussy like the starved demon he was. He's been craving some good pussy all fucking day and he actually found one.

One that by the looks of, may be a little inexperienced based on how fast you got wet. But this was good news for him, he loved virgins and girls who didn't know what they're doing. Those types of girls only made him cum even more.

You stirred in your sleep, your wet dream becoming more vivid and realistic as Miguel continued eating you out, flicking your clit with his tongue and teasing your hole with his finger. He looked up at you and had a feeling you'd be waking up soon, by then he'd have to put on his ultimate charm. He needed to cum inside you, no questions asked.

He went down and lapped on your folds before sticking his tongue into your hole, his hands now moving down and squeezing your hips. You whined and your body shook, it was now feeling way too real but your wet dream was just so good and you didn't want to wake up from it.

He pulled away and slid his finger inside which prompted a loud moan to escape from your lips. He grinned and shoved it in all the way earning himself some muffled whimpers from you. You were gripping his finger and that was enough of a confirmation for him that you've either never been played with or it's been a while.

And how lucky you were that you'd have a professional to be doing this for you. Sure, a lot of girls could say the same because he couldn't help himself but he was going to make sure you were extra special.

"So fucking tight." He mumbled to himself before adding a second finger and instantly pumping them deep inside.

You could then consciously feel yourself let out a moan and now this wet dream was starting to feel real?

You were about to let out a yawn when instead a moan takes it's place and your eyes shoot open, looking down. You were about to let out a scream but a stranger quickly brought a hand up to your mouth to shut you up.

"Don't freak out baby... and don't pretend you don't like it, look how drenched your little cunt is for me...." He mumbles before diving his face back onto your clit, sucking it gently while his one arm is gripping your hip.

You were going to protest and swat his hand from your mouth when you cry out in pleasure from his digits going at a faster pace now, still fucking you deeply.

You bucked your hips towards him and let out more muffled moans over his hand. You then look down at him and notice he had red horns, dark slicked back hair and almost red-like tattoos along his arms and back.

Maybe some kind of demon?

His digits dump into you harder making you whine when his hand finally leaves your mouth. "W-Why are you-"

"Because I've been needing some good pussy all fucking day baby. Got lucky and found you." He coos leaving you shaking underneath him.

"Can't even pretend you don't like it huh? Almost like you've been craving for it to be played with." He murmurs making you whimper and shake your head.

"That's not true!" You exclaim only making him chuckle and shrug.

"Oh yeah?" He mocks and a smirk tugs on his lips.

You hesitantly nod, making him scoff and roll his eyes, "not sure I believe you sweetheart." You roll your eyes and then think of something.

"W-Why me-"

Any more questions that entered your brain swiftly left as the demon stopped and added a third finger then shoved them all in making you whimper. "Fuck!"

He grins up at you, sharp fangs being the first thing you notice, which frighten you for a second before just deciding to relish in the pleasure and laying your head back and bringing a hand down to his hair, to tug on it and bring him even closer to you.

"You talk too much doll, just let it happen. You're too worked out... let me take care of you." He coos, already falling to the handsome demon's charm and given you really haven't gotten attention like this in so long, you did indeed let it happen.

Without another word he goes back to sucking on your clit while his digits were fucking you faster that he could practically feel all your juices slipping out with every thrust.

Now usually he never makes it this far and as soon as the girl wakes up he takes his cock out and immediately starts fucking her but he kind of wanted to keep pleasuring you.

Which was new to him, not pleasuring a woman obviously, but wanting to continue. He hasn't made a girl cum from just his fingers in maybe decades. He's always too focused on his own pleasure and making sure to fill every pussy he encounters with every drop of his cum.

But you were different.

So he was going to treat you that way.

So he started going faster and curling his fingers up, hitting your sweet spot deep inside you that already has your legs shaking and moaning like there's no tomorrow.

It just felt so good and you haven't felt anyone else's touch in so long. And your own fingers can't hit that spot like his did.

His were working their magic on you like no one's done before and it had your head doing circles. You felt like stopping would be the smartest and most logical thing to do but deep down you knew how badly you've been wanting this.

And now that you have it, would you really tell him to completely stop?

"Please don't stop-" you cry out as both his hands are now gripping on to your thighs for dear life as his face is still buried in your pussy.

He'd never had so much fun fingering a human girl before, he likes to have his fun with the succubi but you were just out of this world and like nothing he's ever seen before.

Your moans were angelic and just motivation for him to keep going, he didn't want to stop and wanted to keep going just to hear your moan. In his mind he already decided this wouldn't be the last time he saw you, especially with how absolutely divine you tasted. He couldn't get enough.

And because of the way the starved demon was sucking on your poor bundle of nerves, your orgasm quickly approached and hit you hard. You cried out for him and let him go, covering your mouth as you shook and his fingers were slowing down.

He pulled his face away from you, only to see you covering your pretty face as you rode your climax. He waited for you to be done and as soon as you were he pulled his fingers out.

Your juices leaked out and you looked down at him just as he brought his fingers up to your mouth, which you gladly took and sucked clean. He moaned and with a snap of his fingers, he was naked.

He couldn't be bothered to wait anymore, he needed you so desperately and probably had twice the amount of cum stacked up by now. He moved up your body, now hovering over you as you looked into his eyes while you were sucking on his fingers which was the main reason why you cried out when you felt the tip of his dick make contact with your entrance.

Just the tip alone was thick and your pussy clenched around it until he pulled back and swirled it around, covering it in your juices. He then slammed the whole thing into you making you cry again but this time he didn't want to wait around.

He pulled back and slammed right back into you, leaving you a shaking little mess below him. His hands went over to your legs, spreading them open and as wide as they can go. He then left his hands at the back of your thighs as he now started fucking you. He was pulling back and thrusting into you in slow but deep strokes when he then started going faster.

"Taking this dick so fucking well baby." He groans and grips your skin, as your walls clench around him tightly.

You moaned and brought your hands to your sides, gripping the sheets as he rammed into you desperately. "S-so b-big-" you cry and look down at his thick cock pounding into you like there's no tomorrow.

"And you're taking it so fucking good sweetheart- I fucking knew this pussy was going to be perfect." He murmurs then brought his upper body down, his arms now squeezing and toying with your tits.

You whimpered at the praise and looked into his crimson eyes as they bored into yours. He then leaned down and crashed his lips onto yours. You instantly kissed back and brought your arms around his neck as he rammed into you harder while slipping his tongue into your mouth.

You let him take control and just melted into the mattress, taking in the fact you're getting rammed by a demon. At least he was a sexy one at that.

You moved your hands down and started scratching his back but as he brought his hips to yours, filling you up even deeper, you dug your nails into his skin making your own red marks on him. He groaned into your mouth which you reciprocated and moaned into his.

You wrapped your legs around his waist which helped him get even deeper inside you making you both moan instantaneously. His hands then came up to cup your jaw as he felt his orgasm approaching the more and more you clenched around him.

He could already feel it was going to be a big one which only excited him knowing he was going to fill you up to the brim. And hell maybe even possibly impregnate you if he was lucky.

Your second orgasm was also coming up to you quickly, faster than the first, which Miguel could feel since you were now squirming. You could also feel he was about to cum by the way his thrusts became sloppier and his cock was twitching inside you.

You were too fucked out to even think of telling him to pull out. He was fucking you too good you didn't want him to stop for a second.

"Oh fuck- please- please!" You moaned out and at this point you didn't even know what you were begging for.

Suddenly he groans and shuts his eyes, and with one last thrust deep inside you, he cums inside. Your body shook as you came over him and you could feel how much cum he was spilling into you. Too cock drunk to speak you close your eyes and grind against him as your second orgasm of the night washes over your body.

Miguel was still buried inside you, he finally pulled out and was still shooting his load. He brought the tip of his cock onto your clit and let it all stream down as the cum that was inside you, was now spilling out at the same time.

He nestled into the crook of your neck as he finally stopped cumming and tried to control his heavy breathing. That was the best he's ever had and he didn't want to stop until he ensured you were pregnant. You were the perfect pussy for his cock and were all ready to take almost all of his load that he piled up just for you.

He got off you and laid down next to you, you, tired out barely moved your body to the side and laid on his chest as your own breathing calmed down. He wrapped his arms around you as you both closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep without another word.

Please tell me about your meru conspiracy theory! Because a friend and I sat down trying to figure out a way to make it make sense with his lore and we lost our minds over it (and eventually decided it's bs) and I'd love to hear about your own ordeal with it!

YIPPEE SOMEONE ASKED

!Spoilers for Obbligato!

Ok so we know HiMERU was mad at his dad for moving on too quickly after his mom's death and that's why he left, but he would have to be old enough to remember her in order to be so mad about it. With him only being one year older than Kaname, this wouldn't make sense, right? Unless HiMERU's dad was cheating. If HiMERU's dad was cheating that would explain several things, such as why HiMERU and Kaname are so close in age but didn't know about each other, and how their dad was able to find a "new" partner so quickly. That would also explain Kaname's mom's crashout. She has a family with this man, who she probably loves, and finds out he secretly had another family this whole time. She probably felt heart broken and betrayed, so she turned to idols as a coping mechanism. She becomes obsessed with one idol in particular, Subaru's dad, and then she finds out he secretly has a family too. Her escapism that she was relying on now mimics the very trauma she was trying to escape from. Because of the delusional parasocial relationship she formed with him she feels she has the right to confront him, which as we know leads to her climbing on stage with him, getting pushed off, and falling to her death.

Tldr: the only way I can see HiMERU just being one year older than Kaname is if their dad cheated, which would also explain why Kaname's mom crashed out

Rapunzel (Sephiroth x Cloud)

A/N: Inspired by a post made by @meru-chanowo. Please note that this isn't going to be exactly like Tangled or the Rapunzel fairytales. The story is different; altered to fit the characters' personalities. With that short disclaimer out of the way, I hope you enjoy. 💜

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sephiroth sighed as he stared out the window, taking in the lush scenery before him. The sky was a gorgeous light blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds; the grass was a shining green, and the dewdrops that had accumulated overnight were glistening brightly in the shining morning sun whose bright rays also illuminated the entire tower through the window.

"I wish I could go out there,"

He mumbled, folding his arms and resting his face in them. He'd spent his entire life confined in that tall, tall tower in the middle of nowhere; all he knew was the dull brick walls and the little snippet of the outside world provided by his tiny window.

"But Mother wouldn't let me..."

Mother Jenova was a strict, strict woman, who always insisted the outside world was a cruel, dangerous place full of evil people and disgusting creatures. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, she repeatedly told him that the safest place he could ever hope to be was within that tower, safe and sound. Sephiroth had believed her for most of his life, but recently, he began to wonder: Was the entire world that terrible? Was that small meadow visible from his tiny window the only part of the Earth that wasn't corrupted? These kinds of questions created curiosity; curiosity created hypotheses; hypotheses need to be tested.

Sephiroth wanted to leave the tower more than anything. He wanted to explore and see the world for himself, rather than rely on Mother Jenova's words. Not to mention, he was lonely. So, so lonely. The only person he'd ever spoken to was Mother Jenova, and as stated before, she was a strict, strict woman. She would never indulge in fantasies, theories, or even speak of "what-if's", she was all about facts, figures, and more importantly, Sephiroth's safety.

"This tower is the safest place you'll ever be in, child," She would tell him, while brushing his hair out as she did every night before bed. "Here, you'll never want, never need, and never fear. This tower is your home. Don't ever think about leaving it."

But that was the problem, Sephiroth wanted to want, he wanted to need and to fear; he desired so strongly to experience things for himself, to live his own life.

In short, Sephiroth wanted freedom.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair," Shouted a voice. Sephiroth turned to the window and saw Mother Jenova waving to him from below, her curvaceous, blue-skinned figure wrapped in a blue shawl, a basket of groceries under her arm. Sephiroth let out a low chuckle, as this was an inside joke between him and his mother. The length of his hair as well as his ethreal beauty made him quite similar to the fairytale princess. In reality, he did not use his hair for climbing purposes; Mother Jenova possessed the ability to levitate into the tower on her own.

"Did you miss me, child?" She asked, setting down her groceries on the small wooden table. "Very much so, Mother." Sephiroth answered, quietly. He had learned over the years that Mother Jenova expected a very specific reply to certain questions, and that if she didn't get it, she would scream and shout for hours, even after her throat turned hoarse. Sephiroth knew what she wanted: To be seen as the perfect, loving mother, the ultimate provider and the only person upon which he should ever depend. In order to keep the peace, he would have to make sure that his words convinced her this was true.

"Oh, while I was out getting groceries, I came across this lovely-looking book and thought you might like it." Mother Jenova fished a thick, hardcover book out of her basket and handed it to Sephiroth. "Thank you, Mother," He said, graciously accepting it. "I shall read it right away." Mother Jenova nodded proudly before heading to the window. "I'm afraid I must go away again," She said, though Sephiroth doubted she was actually afraid. For someone who held such a dark view of the world, Mother Jenova sure enjoyed traveling through it. "I have another errand to run, this one a bit long, so don't expect me home for several days." Sephiroth kept a placid smile as he responded, "I understand, Mother, I'll simply busy myself with this book." Mother Jenova smiled widely before leaning forward and planting a kiss on his hair. "I love you so much, my child. Be well, and know that the world is a dangerous place."

With that, she was gone, having leaped out the window and levitated off somewhere. Once she was gone, Sephiroth let out a loud sigh and leaned against the wall, the new book in his lap. Several times in his childhood, he'd asked to go with her on these errands, and each time, he'd been slapped across the face and told he was an ungrateful child. "When will I get to be free?" He wondered, absently fanning himself with his book.

The answer to his question was soon; very, very soon.

Sephiroth was leaning against the window, his long hair actually trailing out of it, reading the new book Mother Jenova had gotten him. It was an adventure novel, believe it or not, and reading it increased Sephiroth's desire to explore the world himself. He was so lost in the book, he never noticed the man on horseback speeding towards his tower-prison. "Hey!" The man shouted, causing Sephiroth to jump. Mother Jenova had always told him to avoid being seen by humans, should any stumble upon his residence. At this point, it was too late, as Sephiroth and his hair were perfectly visible by this strange blonde stranger, and his horse.

"You live here?" The guy shouted, nervously glancing behind himself for a moment. Sephiroth nodded, throwing aside his book, leaning out the window, and staring at this person intently. "Who are you?" The blondie scratched his head; his horse, which was an unusual bright red, neighed loudly. "I'm Cloud," He finally answered, sounding rather afraid. "Cloud Strife, merc-for-hire. But not right now." He cast another wary glance behind him and continued, "I'm being chased by The Turks. Think you could let me hide up in that tower?"

Several questions flashed across Sephiroth's mind. Who were the Turks? What was a "merc"? And why was he talking to this suspicious, yet oddly cute stranger? He was defying every rule Mother Jenova had ever set for him--and he was liking it!

"Sure, you can hide in here," He said, gripping the windowsill excitedly. "Except...I don't know how you'd get in." Cloud groaned and ran his hand down his face.

"How do you get in and out?"

"I don't. I live with my mother who does all the errands for me."

Cloud raised an eyebrow. "Well, how does she get in and out?"

Sephiroth shook his head again. "Levitation."

"Ah." Cloud frowned thoughtfully, looking around for something he could use to scale the tower. Then, he caught sight of Sephiroth's incredibly long, shiny hair. "Hey, how strong is that hair of yours?" He asked, completely serious. Sephiroth was taken aback for a second, his brain working to process this information. Eventually, he understood what Cloud meant.

"You want....to climb up my hair?" Cloud nodded; he didn't see any other way to get up into the tower.

"Alright...umm...come a little closer, then." Cloud obeyed, making the horde trot up to the tower wall where he was met with a very long, almost rope-like coil of shimmering white hair. Clearing his throat, Cloud grasped the long bundle, put his feet on the side of the wall, and began pulling himself upwards.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow," Sephiroth winced; having a full grown man climb up a 40 foot tower using only his hair was more painful than he'd thought. However, he gritted his teeth and stood there, waiting until Cloud reached the window. Then, he took the mercenary's hand and pulled him through.

"Nice place you got," Cloud remarked, once he was inside.

"Thank you," Responded Sephiroth, as he gathered up his hair and flung it over his shoulder.

"You said you live with your mom, right? Where is she now?"

Sephiroth sighed. "She's out...running errands. Or so she says."

Cloud turned around, a curious expression on his face. "What do you mean?"

Sephiroth folded his arms, feeling both guilty and excited. He knew he shouldn't be telling a guy he just met all about his personal life, but he couldn't resis. For the first time in his life, he was talking to a real human--someone other than his mother.

"She leaves to travel and collect things, and never tells me what they're for. She won't take me with her either. I've...been stuck in this tower since the day I was born."

Cloud frowned; his brow furrowed. "Really? Wow...that sucks. If...if you like...I could get you outta here." Cloud had no idea why he said that, especially considering that he was a wanted criminal in most major cities, but something about this strange, beautiful man struck him and made him want to help him out of this trapped life he seemed to be living. Cloud watched with bated breath as Sephiroth's glistening green eyes lighten, feeling his own face heat up in the process.

"You'd do that? Take me away? Why? You don't even know me." Cloud shrugged, not sure of his own reasoning himself. "I dunno... I just kinda want to. So....uhh.?.you interested?"

Yes. Yes, he was. Sephiroth was so interested that he would have flung himself out of the window if he could, but then he remembered something Cloud had mentioned earlier.

"Aren't you being chased by...turkeys, or whatever you called them?"

"Turks," Cloud corrected, "And yeah, I am. But it's OK, cause I'm hiding up here with you, and if we do get spotted, Red XIII can outrun them easily."

"Red XIII?" Sephiroth inquired, confused.

"My horse," Cloud clarified, pointing to the window. "He used to be a warhorse--very fast and very strong. The Turks got nothin' on him."

"So who are the Turks and why are you being chased by them?"

"The Turks work for the royal family, y'know, King Vincent and Queen Lucretia. They're after me cause I'm a mercenary--someone who performs odd jobs, usually violent ones, for money. I've pissed off more people than I can count, most of em upper-classmen." He turned to Sephiroth and realized that the long haired beauty had no idea what Cloud was talking about. "Uhh...you probably don't know what any of that meant, huh?" Sephiroth shook his head, retreating to the shadowy corner and folding his arms tightly across his chest. "No worries, once things calm down a little, we'll leave this place and I'll show you what the world's like." A wide smile spread across Sephiroth's face, one of genuine happiness that filled Cloud with a sense of warmth he'd never felt before.

"That would be lovely," Sephiroth said, a tiny blush beginning to form on his face. "I'm honestly quite excited to see the world...for myself." Cloud bobbed his head in agreement, placing his hands on his hips.

"It's settled then." Cloud stuck his head out the window and surveyed the ground below. "Looks like the Turks have given up the chase--I don't hear their horses anymore." He turned back to Sephiroth, a mischevious glint in his eyes. "Let's make our escape." Sephiroth nodded excitedly--perhaps a bit too excitedly, and sidled up to the mercenary, who leaped out of the tower and landed on his horse, who neighed loudly, but was otherwise unaffected. "Jump," Cloud instructed, holding his arms out. "I'll catch you." Sephiroth clambered onto the windowsill and hesitated; the drop was long and if he missed...

"Just jump," Cloud shouted again. "Red XIII's a tough dude, he can handle it!" That wasn't exactly what Sephiroth was worried about, but whatever. Sucking in a deep breath, Sephiroth took the leap, soaring out of the tower and literally crashing into Cloud's arms. Their eyes met; for a split second, Sephiroth thought he was staring up at a handsome prince.

"Right....should we go?" Cloud asked, looking rather anxious. Sephiroth blinked, then remembered the seriousness of the situation.

"Ah, yes, of course..." He allowed Cloud to lower him to the ground, then circled over to the back of the horse. With some difficulty, he managed to scramble onto it and wrap his hands around Cloud's lean waist.

"Ready to go?" Cloud asked, his face practically on fire.

"Yes, of course."

Though there was much he had left to learn about the world, the way things worked, and Cloud, the mercenary, one thing was certain: After years, and years of longing, Sephiroth was finally free.

Climb The Mountain With A 4 Days Mount Meru Climbing Tour

In case you dream of climbing the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, and are at a low budget, you can begin your adventure with a 4-day expedition of Mount Meru. It is not only much cheaper in comparison with the Kilimanjaro, but also it features such amazing views, large amounts of animal species, and is spotlessly higher acclimating to other more scampering mountains.

Mount Meru is a 4,566-meter-high mountain in Tanzania so it is the second-highest mountain in the Arusha National Park and you can climb it through a 4 Days Mount Meru Climbingtrip. In comparison to the distant trailheads of Kilimanjaro, the trail of Meru starts with a close distance as Arusha town.

The ascent needs to be done with an expert and an obligatory armed ranger because of wildlife in the Meru climb. You can find tours for hiking and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a budget. The hike is not as busy as the Kilimanjaro and is a more quiet and personal experience. Lodging is only simple mountain huts, which is cheaper as compared to the tented trek in Kilimanjaro.

The altitude gain is gradual and physical difficulty of the climb makes your body adapt well so that when you finally conquer the 5,895-meter Uhuru Peak then you are in a high success rate. And as Meru is cheaper (without disregarding park fees, guides, and food), and you can find hiking and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a budget tours, it is a two-in-one tactical adventure.

Mount Oldonyo Lengai: Climbing Tanzania’s Sacred Volcano

Rising majestically from the heart of the East African Rift Valley, Mount Oldonyo Lengai is one of Tanzania’s most extraordinary and lesser-known trekking destinations. Often referred to as the "Mountain of God" by the local Maasai people, this active stratovolcano offers an experience unlike any other—combining raw natural power, cultural depth, and surreal volcanic landscapes. If you're looking for a challenging yet spiritually rich adventure, Mount Oldonyo Lengai deserves a spot on your bucket list.

What Makes Mount Oldonyo Lengai Unique?

Located near Lake Natron in northern Tanzania, Mount Oldonyo Lengai stands at approximately 2,962 meters (9,718 feet) above sea level. What makes it truly special is that it is the only known volcano in the world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava—a rare, cool, and fast-flowing black lava that appears almost like liquid ink. This lava is less hot than typical magma but extremely fluid, creating a dramatic and otherworldly terrain.

Despite its active status, Oldonyo Lengai is a safe and thrilling climb for experienced hikers and adventurous travelers. It offers panoramic views of the Rift Valley, Lake Natron, and even distant glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru on clear days.

The Spiritual Significance

For the Maasai, Oldonyo Lengai is more than just a mountain—it is sacred ground. They believe it is the dwelling place of "Engai," their god of creation and fertility. This spiritual significance adds a deeper, more meaningful dimension to the climb, often transforming it into a journey of personal reflection and cultural connection.

The Trekking Experience

Climbing Mount Oldonyo Lengai is a true test of endurance and determination. Unlike more polished routes like Kilimanjaro, this trek is steep, rugged, and often done at night to avoid the extreme daytime heat and to catch a breathtaking sunrise from the summit. Trekkers usually begin the ascent around midnight, guided by headlamps and the stars.

The climb takes around 5–7 hours up and 3–4 hours down. While it doesn’t require technical climbing gear, good physical fitness and mental resilience are essential. The reward? A sunrise that bathes the volcanic crater in golden light, and a surreal view across the desolate yet beautiful landscape of Lake Natron and beyond.

How Kili Trips Helps You Get There

At Kili Trips Tanzania, we provide expertly guided tours to Mount Oldonyo Lengai, ensuring safety, cultural insight, and a fully supported trekking experience. Our local guides are not only familiar with the terrain but also deeply connected to the local Maasai communities, offering trekkers an authentic and respectful journey through this sacred landscape.

We take care of logistics, permits, meals, and accommodations, so you can focus on the experience, the climb, and the awe of standing atop an active volcano.

Final Thoughts

Mount Oldonyo Lengai is not just a climb—it's a journey into the heart of nature, culture, and spiritual wonder. For trekkers seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure in Tanzania, this sacred mountain offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t soon forget.

Mount Kenya – A spiritual mountain

Mount Kenya has been thought of and held in reverence by the local communities as God`s residence. The snow on the peaks astonished the explorers, who could not figure out its existence right at the equator. The roads were initially dug for military purposes to help access the forest to flush out Maumau freedom fighters.

Motorcycle tours in Tibet: One of the World’s Greatest Overland Trips

Pilgrims from all across Asia go over the breathtaking high-altitude terrain of rural Western Tibet to pay tribute and stroll around the sacred peak. Kailash trekking tour is one of the world's best overland journeys, and despite the elevation, it is surprisingly accessible.

Kailash derives much of its strength from its remarkable physical position, a lone peak cut off from the main Himalayan range in Tibet's Kangdise Mountains. The unique four-sided mountain rises abruptly from the surrounding plain, its four sides facing the cardinal directions. Four of Asia's largest rivers, the Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra, and Karnali, originate in its foothills.

For Tibetans, this is where the Tantric magician Milarepa defeated his Bön foe Naro Bönchung in an epic fight of sorcery, establishing Buddhism's dominance over the old Bön faith. For Hindus, Kailash is the home of Shiva and his spouse, Parvati. Both Buddhists and Hindus see Kailash as the fabled Mount Meru, the universe's center axis. The 6474m mountain is so sacred that no one has climbed it to date. Motorcycle tours in Tibet are a great adventure.

What to see near Kailash

Lake Manasarovar, located at the foot of Mt Kailash, is a breathtaking high-altitude lake revered by Tibetans and Hindus alike. Pilgrims trek around the lake in four days, but it is now feasible to drive around it, stopping at the picturesque lakefront monasteries of Seralung, Gossul, Trugo, and Chiu.

A day's journey from Kailash will take you to Thöling Monastery and the remains of Guge, a 10th-century Buddhist state that used adjacent Kashmiri and Ladakhi influences to produce some of the Himalaya's most beautiful Buddhist art. Exploring the paintings, tunnels, and hilltop castle of the old Guge capital at Tsaparang is one of Asia's most memorable experiences. Plan a three-day return journey from Kailash, taking in the stunning Silk Road-style cave paintings at Dungkhar and Piyang along the way.

It's tempting to make the lengthy journey to Mt Kailash with as few stops as possible, but it's worth stopping en route at crag-top Drapsang Monastery, beautiful Dargyeling Monastery, and historic Tradun Monastery (just outside Drongba), all of which are located between Lhatse and Mt Kailash. You must opt for the Best way to travel to Tibet.
