Leave early from your hotel and drive to Arusha National Park, where we enter and drive a bit farther to Momella Gate (1500 m) where our climb begins. Leave the gate and walk through game-filled grassy plains. The path gets steeper leading up to a broad ridge. As you continue, the forest thickens and you get occasional views of Mount Kilimanjaro to your right. After a few hours, you will reach the first campsite, Miriakamba Hut (2500 m). Here you will settle into a dormitory-style room, rest, and enjoy dinner.Trekking Time: 4-5 hours | Distance: 10 km | Altitude Gain: 1000 m

Day
Socialist peak(4562 m)
Walking around 01:00 am, we have a small meal and start our ascent towards the summit. The hike begins with switchbacks until we reach Rhino Point (3800 m). From here, the trek becomes more difficult as we traverse rocky inclines, navigate narrow ridges, and climb up to the summit. We hope to reach the summit, Socialist Peak (4562 m) around sunrise, where we can see the moon setting to the west and the sun rising over Mt. Kilimanjaro in the east. Trekking Time: 4-6 hours | Distance: 5 km | Altitude Gain: 1062 m. We descend the same way we came up, reaching Saddle Hut in a few hours. Here we rest and have a short meal before beginning our descent down to Miriakamba Hut for our last night on the mountain.Trekking Time: 5-7 hours | Distance: 13 km | Altitude Loss: 2062 m
