The day takes you through the savanna and into the montane forest, and trekkers may be lucky enough to spot buffalo, zebra, giraffe, monkeys, antelope, and often elephants along the route. Today’s hike will take around 4 to 5 hours to reach Mariakamba Hut (8,500 ft). From here you may wish to take an evening walk on the slopes to view wildlife at one of the watering holes in the crater. Dinner and overnight rest at Mariakamba Hut.
