Tanzania
This day involves a steep, sustained climb from Miriakampa Hut through montane forest. You'll see hygenium abyssinica, nuxia congesta, podocarpus, and hypericum tevolutum trees draped in mosses and lichens covering the path. Around midday the landscape shifts as you reach the alpine zone and arrive at Saddle Hut.
Tanzania
An intense morning push takes you steeply to Rhino Point at 3800m/12,467ft, then the trail follows a narrow ridge of ash and rock to Cobra Point at 4350m/14,272ft. After enjoying brunch back at Saddle Hut, you'll retrace your steps descending to Miriakamba Hut for the night.

After a relaxed morning, you'll take the direct descent through open grassland which takes 2 to 3 hours. By late morning Momella Gate appears where you'll get your summit certificate and say goodbye to your crew. A short picnic lunch follows, then a game drive before heading back to Arusha.
