Arusha (1400m) – Miriakamba Hut (2500m)

Duration: 5-7 hours of hiking

After an early breakfast in Arusha (1,400 m), you’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Momella Gate in Arusha National Park. While porters organize and pack your gear, you and your guide will register with the park authorities.

Your ascent begins in Arusha National Park, where the first day of hiking resembles a walking safari. Keep an eye out for wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffalo, and possibly elephants along the trail. Due to the high likelihood of encountering wildlife, an armed ranger, hired through the national park, will accompany your group throughout the hike.

As you continue, you’ll pass the Ngarenanyuki River and a stunning waterfall at the base of Mount Meru. Upon reaching Miriakamba Hut (2,500 m), your chef will prepare a hot dinner and provide washing water. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and settle in for an overnight stay.
