Day 1: Arusha (1400 m) – Miriakamba Hut (2500 m)
Duration: 5-7 hours trekking
After an early morning breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha (1400 m) and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park. At this point, porters will organize and pack your trekking gear while you and your guide register with Tanzania National Park (TANAPA). You will then begin your ascent into Arusha National Park. The first day of trekking is similar to a walking safari; expect to see giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffaloes and possibly elephants near the trail. Due to the high likelihood of wildlife sightings, an armed ranger hired through the national park to trek with our team is required for the duration of the trek. As the trek continues, we pass by the Ngarenanyuki River and a beautiful waterfall at the foot of Mount Meru. On arrival at Miriakamba Hut (2500 m), your cook will prepare a hot dinner and wash water for you. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and stay overnight.
Day 2: Miriakamba Hut (2500 m) – Saddle Hut (3500 m)
Duration: – 3-5 hours trekking
After breakfast, we start climbing up the steep trail along the saddle ridge. Along the way you can see a variety of wildlife! From the trail you will have views of the Meru Crater and the Hamutal. Once you reach the camp, you will have the opportunity to climb Little Meru Mountain (3820 m) with your guide to further acclimatize. An early dinner will be served so you can get plenty of rest before the midnight summit attempt. Get to bed by 19.00!
Day 3: Saddler’s hut (3500 m) – Slide attempt (4566 m) – Miriakamba hut (2500 m)
Duration: 10-12 hours trekking
Your guide will wake you up at 00:30 for tea and biscuits. You will then start your summit climbing attempt at 1:30am. The trail starts steeply between Rhino Point (3800 m) and Cobra Point (4350 m). During the last hour of the trek, you will scramble along the rocky ridge between the crater and the inner cliffs of Meru. You will reach the summit of Meru (4565 m) at sunrise, from where you will have a spectacular view of the Meru ash pan and Kilimanjaro. Enjoy the views and then descend to Saddle Hut for a short rest. Then descend further to Miriakamba Hut (2500 m) for dinner and overnight.
Day 4: Miriakamba Hut (2500 m) – Arusha (1400 m)
Duration: 2-3 hours trekking
After a long rest and breakfast, we start the final descent to Momella gate. We will trek through forests and meadows where we are likely to see wildlife. You will be met at the foot of Mount Meru by our driver who will take you back to Arusha.

EXCELLENT rating
Based on 6 reviews highly recommended travel agency and guide!! It was a very fortuitous coincidence to meet Douglas and complete this unforgettable safari with him in Kenya and Tanzania, and the dedication and enthusiasm of the drivers of both cars, both in Masemara and Serengeti, gave our team very memorable memories of the East African savannah. I'll definitely come back to Tanzania and Douglas to climb Mount Kilimanjaro once in the future, and see these animals again in the Serengeti. The highly recommended travel agency and guides have made my first visit to Africa such a wonderful memory. I hope to see you again next time!! 依 黄2025-02-07 Mt. Kilimanjaro hike - Machame Route We hiked the Machame Route and it was really great! We have been so lucky with our guides and the rest of the team. All did a perfect job and have been really friendly and kind. The food was delicious, always fresh and served with a smile. We always had more than enough food.When it was hard for us the guides supported us mentaly and also carried our backpacks for sometime. They also choose the walking speed perfect, it may seem slow in the beginning but it turned out that it was exectly what we needed! They even had a perfect feeling when we needed a water break or a short stop.I would highly recommend this team! Everything was excellent and I have nothing bad to tell about this company!Asante sana :) Anna B2024-07-16 Unforgettable Adventure Ascending Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable adventure. The breathtaking views, diverse ecosystems, and the camaraderie among climbers made every step worthwhile. Our guides were knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring a safe and enriching experience. Reaching the summit at sunrise was a moment of pure triumph. Highly recommend this life-changing journey! lorenz b2024-07-16 Unbelievable! This experience was unique and amazing. These guides are young, strong and prepared. Without them we could never reach Kili roof! We took the 6-days tour. First days are good for acclimatization, drinking enough is very important. Last night is tough, last 500 meters to the top are a challenge but an unforgettable experience for the rest of our lifes. Food was very good and equipment was perfect! Do not miss this experience and these guides! Francesca F2024-03-29 An unforgettable hike and one of the most beautiful experiences of my life! I will never forget this experience! It was my first multi-day hike, but I felt very well looked after from the start. The guides are very experienced and looked after us really well.I thought the Machame route was great and we were relatively lucky with the weather. But even when it rained, we were always in a good mood and had nice conversations.The food was extremely delicious and prepared with lots of love. The chef and all the porters did an incredibly great job. We had everything we needed and were very satisfied!We shared the joy when we reached the top of the summit, one of the best days of my life! Afterwards I was very tired and had difficulty walking down because of the snow. But the guides helped me and I was so relieved when I finally got back down. Without them I would have panicked and still be up there!They were really great and know exactly what they are doing! Highly recommended and I would book a tour with them again and again! :) Luisa C2024-03-28 6Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climbing It was amazing 6 days in Marangu Route on Kilimanjaro with Deogratius Minja the tour guide.
