Itinerary
-
Day 1: Momella Gate to Miriakamba Huts
- Before beginning our trek, we depart Moshi or Arusha for Momella Gate in Arusha National Park for the necessary formalities. The hiking trail begins in open grassland with an armed ranger as the possibility of seeing wildlife – giraffes, zebras, antelope, elephants and buffalo – is high. Our hike on the Southern Route takes us through the rainforest to Maio Waterfalls and Fig Tree Arch until we reach Miriakamba Huts, situated in a grassy glade.

Day 2: Miriakamba Huts to Saddle Huts
- We continue climbing through the rainforest until we enter the heath zone accompanied by giant heather and other moorland vegetation. We have views of Mount Meru Crater and the Ash Tray along the ridge of the saddle.
- After arriving at Saddle Huts, there is an option to hike to the top of Little Mount Meru for superb views and to further aid in acclimatization.

Day 3: Saddle Huts to Summit to Miriakamba Huts
- Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our climb to the summit. The trail is steep to Rhino Point and then Cobra Point.
