Hakarimata Summit Hiking Track

Awesome hiking. The steps are challenging for your lower body..but the view makes it sweeter

Awesome, amazing experience walking up to the summit and conquering 1349 steps one way. Highly recommended. I was so impressed with how clean the toilets were before the trail begins.

Great day out trekking in the rain. There were a lot of other people people out there so seemed like a save place to go out to alone.

Great hiking track and one of the more challenging ones! Very well-maintained path, there were stairs after stairs all the way up to the summit (roughly 1 km & 50mins - 1 hour one way). We went on the weekday so it wasn’t busy. Ensure you bring sunscreen and hat.

Not for the beginner unless your ready to push yourself. I am reasonably fit and it was a challenge. Take water, be sure to eat and use the restroom before you start the trail as it's a good 45min-1.5hrs to the top and back down pacing yourself.Prepare your body for an intense wind down in the following 3 days as it is a full leg workout.Beautiful views and so rewarding when you reach the summit. You feel literally on top of the world.Each milestone has a motivation quote to keep you going but bare in mind it is intense climbing of many many stairs.Take a friend for support, company and motivation or plug your ears with some good music to keep you climbing.

I'm not an experienced hiker at all, so I found the climb a little steep, but it was a refreshing and beautiful track. The view at the top was so worth it!The are lots of motivational quotes along the way, and lots of lovely climbers!

Beautiful walk to the start of the steps and then a great workout to get to the top. Busy on most days of the week Great workout in nature!!

Go early in the morning! There are few paths that you can use but I mostly go to summit which the shortest route. There are lot of steps so if you are not fit, it might be challenging for you.
