Miriakamba Hut (2500m) - Saddle Hut (3550m)

After breakfast, depart Miriakamba Hut and ascend a steep trail with wooden steps through the cool mountain forest. As altitude increases, the air becomes crisp and the scenery transforms with clouds drifting through the lush rainforest, creating a magical atmosphere. After about two hours, you’ll reach Mgongo wa Tembo (Elephant Back) at 3,200m a perfect spot for panoramic views and a short rest. Continuing upward, the dense forest gives way to open bushland as you approach Saddle Hut (3,550m) around midday for lunch and relaxation. In the afternoon, an optional acclimatization hike to Little Meru (3,820m) offers breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Arusha National Park. Return to Saddle Hut for a warm dinner and briefing for the next day’s summit climb.
