ITINERARY
Day 1: Arusha to Miriakamba Hut
Your adventure begins with a drive to Arusha National Park, where you’ll meet your guide and register for the climb. A park ranger will accompany you through the scenic trail, which winds through lush rainforests teeming with wildlife, including giraffes, buffaloes, and monkeys. Enjoy the serenity of the wilderness as you ascend to Miriakamba Hut (2,514 m), your first overnight stop. A delicious meal and a peaceful night await you here.
