DAY 2 –
MT MERU / MIRIAKAMBA
In
the morning we are collected from your hotel and transfer to Arusha National
Park. At the Momella gate we finish registration formalities before setting
off with your guide and armed ranger - there is abundant wildlife in the
forests! The forest section is especially scenic with strangler figs and the
possibility of seeing buffalo grazing in one of the clearings. In the late
afternoon we reach a viewpoint before heading onto Miriakamba hut for dinner.
Overnight

DAY 3 –
MT MERU / SADDLE HUT
We
set off from Miriakamba initially still in the forest zone but in a few hours
as we reach Saddle hut for lunch in the alpine desert zone. In the afternoon
a walk to the summit of Little Meru can be taken for stunning views before
heading back to Saddle Hut for dinner.
Overnight

DAY 4 –
MT MERU / MIRIAKAMBA
We
rise early and our hard work is rewarded at dawn as the sun rises to the
East. Kilimanjaro is normally clearly seen from here and the sheer cliffs of
the crater fall dramatically 1000 feet or more. We return back and after some
brunch at Saddle Hut, we continue down to Miriakamba hut for dinner.

The
final section takes up to 3 hours to return to our vehicles where we say
farewell to our crew and have time for a short picnic lunch and game drive
before returning to Arusha for a well deserved shower!
