Momela gate (1400 m) - Miriakamba Hut (2500 m)

The driver arrives at your reserved lodge in Arusha or at Kilimanjaro International Airport with the trekking crew, porters, guides, and a chef. You will then be transferred to the Momella Gate in Arusha National Park. At this time, the porters will organise and pack the belongings for the hike while you and your guide register with the Tanzania National Park Authority. You will then begin your ascent in Arusha National Park under the companionship of the armed ranger and our highly trained mountain guides. The first day of hiking is similar to a walking safari; you should expect to see giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and potentially elephants near the trail. As you continue hiking, you will pass the Ngarenanyuki River and a beautiful waterfall at the base of Mt. Meru. Upon arriving at Miriakamba Hut (2500m), your chef will prepare a hot dinner and hot water for cleansing yourselves. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and stay overnight.
