Day 1

Arusha to Momella Gate 1500 m – Miriakamba Hut 2500

Arusha to Momella Gate 1500 m – Miriakamba Hut 2500

Hiking duration is approximately 5 - 7 hours.

The vegetation type is forest.
The excursion will begin shortly after breakfast. Your guide will pick you up and take you to the Ngongongare Gate. At the gate, your guide will complete all paperwork before driving through Arusha National Park, making stops to observe wildlife. Reach Momella Gate for a last check on porters and luggage.
Following that, three days of Mt Meru trekking will begin at a leisurely and steady pace. The first day is akin to a walking safari; along the way, you may see reticulated giraffes, zebras, waterbuck, and buffaloes. Because the hike is within the park, an armed ranger will accompany you to the camp.
