We commence our ascent in the early hours, around 1:30 a.m., embarking on a steep climb towards Rhino Point (3,800 m) and subsequently to Cobra Point (4,350 m). As dawn breaks, we reach the summit (4,566 m), offering a chance to witness the breathtaking sunrise, with the possibility of glimpsing the majestic Kilimanjaro Peak emerging above the clouds. The final stretch entails traversing a remarkable narrow ridge line nestled between the sheer inner cliffs and the sloping outer wall of the crater.
After a brief rest and brunch at Saddle Hut, we begin our descent towards Miriakamba Hut, and subsequently to Momela Gate.
Upon arrival at Momella Gate, your return transfer awaits to transport you back to Moshi or Arusha, reaching your accommodation.
