After breakfast, the trek continues with a steep climb through dense rainforest. Wooden steps guide you along the trail, and as you gain altitude, the air becomes cooler and fresher.
After about two hours, you’ll reach “Elephant Back” (Mgongo wa Tembo), a scenic viewpoint at 3,200m offering panoramic views of the park and surrounding landscapes.
From here, the vegetation changes from rainforest to heather and moorland, with giant groundsels and lobelias dotting the path. The trail is challenging but rewarding, and you’ll arrive at Saddle Hut around midday.
Here, a warm meal is served, and the afternoon is spent resting and preparing for the midnight summit attempt. The atmosphere at Saddle Hut is filled with anticipation, as trekkers gather to rest and mentally prepare for the climb ahead.

Following a short rest, the trek continues down to Miriakamba Hut, where you’ll spend the night.
