The descent offers a relaxed pace and time to reflect on the incredible journey and the achievement of reaching the summit. After several hours of trekking, you arrive at the Mweka Park Gate, where you complete park exit formalities. A vehicle will be waiting at the gate to transfer you back to your hotel in Moshi.
