Upon arrival at Jevas Hotel in Arusha, you will be transferred to Momella Gate at Arusha National Park. Here, porters will organize and pack your belongings for the hike, and you, along with your guide, will register with the Tanzania National Park Authority. Your ascent in Arusha National Park begins in the company of an armed ranger and highly trained mountain guides. The initial hike resembles a walking safari; expect to encounter giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and possibly elephants along the trail. The hike will take you past the Ngarenanyuki River and a stunning waterfall at Mt. Meru's base. Upon reaching Miriakamba Hut (2500m), a chef will prepare a hot dinner and provide hot water for washing. You can then enjoy the magnificent sunset and overnight stay.
