    Climb to Saddle Hut

    June 5, 2012 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Miriakamba Hut (2500m) to Saddle Hut (3570m).
    The walk from Miriakamba Hut to the saddle below Little Meru is a short day but a steep climb. We slowly ascended through lush Montane forest to reach the halfway point of Elephant Ridge. From here we enjoyed excellent views of the summit ridge and across the crater floor. The path continued through giant heather and other fascinating moorland vegetation to reach Saddle Hut (3,570 m), where lunch was provided (3-5 hours walking). The afternoon is free to relax and to enjoy the views. We then did the short climb to the nearby summit of Little Meru (3,820 m) for superb views just before sunset.Read more
