DAY ONE – ARUSHA – MOMELLA GATE – MIRIAKAMBA HUTS

You’ll be picked up from your Arusha hotel and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park, where you’ll go through the necessary pre-climb formalities.

Today’s hiking takes you across the open grasslands of the park in the company of an armed ranger. As you’re inside a national park, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting games such as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, monkeys, and much more during the day.

In the afternoon, you’ll begin to climb into the rainforest, where you’ll overnight in the Miriakamba huts.

DAY TWO – MIRIAKAMBA HUTS – SADDLE HUTS

You’ll pass from the lush rainforest and into the more spartan heath zone today, with giant clumps of heather and other moorland scrub dotting the terrain.

Hiking along the ridge of the Mount Meru Crater, you’ll have breathtaking views of both the crater and the Ash Tray.

For those with a little extra energy, there’s the option to ascend to the peak of Little Mount Meru for a panoramic view of Arusha and its surroundings.

DAY THREE – SADDLE HUTS – SUMMIT – MIRIAKAMBA HUTS

You’ll be up very early today. Around midnight, in fact!

It’s a steep trail that separates you from the summit of Mt. Meru and your trail takes you via Rhino Point and Cobra Point through volcanic terrain before you finally reach Socialist Point.

From here, you’ll experience a stunning sunset via Arusha and the surrounding landscape before beginning your descent back to Miriakamba Huts.

You’ll overnight here to get some well-earned rest!

DAY FOUR – MIRIAKAMBA HUTS – ARUSHA

It’s a relatively short morning of hiking through the rainforest and back to the Momella Gate.

You’ll be met here by the driver and taken to your Arusha accommodations.
