The trail has amazing views of Meru Crater and the Ash Cone. Don't forget to capture the views of Mount Kilimanjaro over 80 kilometers away.

Saddle Hut - Meru Peak - Descent To Momella Gate

We set off early around 2 a.m. following the path through scrubland to Rhino Point at 3820 metres. From here the route gets more demanding as we follow the narrow crater ridge until we reach the summit after approximately 4-5 hours. From the Meru peak or Socialist Peak we will watch the sunrise over Kilimanjaro and have time to view Meru's crater and ash cone. We then descend by retracing our steps back down to Saddle Hut and onwards to Miriakamba Hut and finally Momella Gate. Transfer back to town for a well-earned shower and celebration.
