Day 1:  ARUSHA – MOMELLA GATE – MIRIAKAMBA HUTS

You’ll be picked up from your Arusha hotel and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park, where you’ll go through the necessary pre-climb formalities.

Today’s hiking takes you across the open grasslands of the park in the company of an armed ranger. As you’re inside a national park, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting game such as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, monkeys, and much more during the day. In the afternoon, you’ll begin to climb into the rainforest, where you’ll overnight in the Miriakamba huts.

Day 2: MIRIAKAMBA HUTS – SADDLE HUTS

You’ll pass from the lush rainforest and into the more spartan heath zone today, with giant clumps of heather and other moorland scrub dotting the terrain. Hiking along the ridge of the Mount Meru Crater, you’ll have breathtaking views of both the crater and the Ash Tray.

For those with a little extra energy, there’s the option to ascend to the peak of Little Mount Meru for a panoramic view of Arusha and its surrounds.

Day 3: SADDLE HUTS – SUMMIT – ARUSHA

From here, you’ll experience a stunning sunset via of Arusha and the surrounding landscape before beginning your descent back to the Momella Gate.

A THP Adventure driver will meet you at the conclusion of your adventure to take you to your Arusha accommodation.
