Itinerary

Momella Gate - Miriakamba Huts

Arusha

You’ll be picked up from your Arusha hotel and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park. 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 rain-forest, where you’ll overnight in the Miriakamba huts.

Miriakamba Huts - Saddle Huts

Arusha

You’ll pass from the lush rain-forest 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.

Arusha

You’ll be up very early today around midnight. It’s a steep trail that separates you from the summit of Mount Meru and your trail takes you via Rhino Point and Cobra Point through volcanic terrain before you finally reach Socialist Point.
