The route to the summit passes through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland. Finally, the summit is reached by a narrow, barren ridge which provides stunning views of the Ash Cone lying several thousand feet below in the crater and Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

My Trek Itinerary

Day 1; Arusha to Momella Gate to Miriakamba Hut.

Leave 8:00Am from your hotel and drive to Arusha National Park, where we enter and drive a bit farther to Momella Gate (1500 m) where our climb begins. Leave the gate and walk through game-filled grassy plains. The path gets steeper leading up to a broad ridge. As you continue, the forest thickens and you get occasional views of Mount Kilimanjaro to your right. After a few hours, you will reach the first campsite, Miriakamba Hut (2500 m). Here you will settle into a dormitory style room, rest and enjoy dinner.

Trekking Time: 4-5 hours | Distance: 10 km | Altitude Gain: 1000 m

Day 2; Miriakamba Hut- Saddle Hut

Wake morning for have our great breakfast and begin your day’s trek. The path becomes steeper today and passes through fine forests and heather to the Saddle Hut (3500 m) where you will spend the evening.

Day 3; Saddle Hut- Summit Point- Miriakamba Hut.

From here, the trek becomes more difficult as we traverse rocky inclines, navigate narrow ridges, and climb up to the summit. We hope to reach the summit, Socialist Peak (4562 m) around sunrise, where we can see the moon setting to west and the sun rising over Mt. Kilimanjaro in the east.

Trekking Time: 4-6 hours | Distance: 5 km | Altitude Gain: 1062 m
