Tour Overview

Best Kilimanjaro hiking tour packages via Marangu route for 5 days trekking packages is among of the best Kilimanjaro hiking packages involves 5 days of trekking and 4 nights from Moshi town. Also this is the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every camp site with solar lights and comfortable beds. The Marangu Route is the oldest on Kilimanjaro and is also one of the most popular – mainly because it is the only route on the mountain that has huts provided for hikers. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so, perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way, due to a shorter acclimatisation period.

Day 1 : Marangu Gate To Mandala Hut

Location: Marangu Gate

Accommodation: Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Departing from Moshi a 45-minute drive will take you through the Village of Marangu to the
Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We will patiently wait for our permits to be issued while watching
the hustle and bustle of operations as many crews prepare for the journey ahead Enjoy the beautiful
rainforest scenery and windy trails while your guide tells you about the local flora and fauna and
natural wildlife. At these lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and quite slippery. We highly
recommend gaiters and trekking poles here.

Day 2 : Mandala Hut To Horombo Hut

Location: Mandara Huts, Horombo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today’s hike takes you from the verdant rainforest into the stark alpine zone, as you’ll cover more
than 11 kilometres on your way to the Maundi Crater.
You’ll set off bright and early today, as you’ve got a long day of hiking ahead of you!
If the weather is clear, you’ll find stunning views of Kibo Glacier from here before settling down
for the evening.

Day 3 : Horombo Hut To Kibo Hut

Location: Horombo Huts, Kibo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

It’s another big day of hiking today, as you’ll make your way to Kibo Hut to set up camp ahead of
your summit.
Climbing almost 1,000m, you’ll pass your last watering point at the 4,130m mark before arriving
at Kibo Hut in the afternoon. Remember to drink plenty of water during your early dinner, as you’ll
be up bright and early tomorrow to begin your ascent to the summit!

Day 4 : Kibo Hut To Uhuru Peak ( Summit Point)- Horombo Hut

Location: Uhuru Peak, Horombo Huts, Kibo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Around midnight, awake for the final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. The hike begins
with a demanding five hour hike to Gillman's Point on the crater rim. Although this is considered
to be the easiest of the three crater ascent paths, it is still extremely difficult. The first major rest
stop, William's Point, lies at 5000 meters and is approximately a two hour hike Kibo Hut. Continue
on for thirty minutes before beginning the rocky switchbacks that will continue to Gillman's Point
(5,681 meters).
The hike from Gilman's to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb and as far as hikes go, not very difficult.
The altitude, however, makes the hike long and tiring. The crater rim hike takes approximately two
hours. Upon reaching Uhuru, take photos of your guide and group at the peak before beginning the
descent to Horombo Hut.
On the way down from the summit, you will see all of the magnificent views you could not see on
the way up. Stop for a short break and snacks at Kibo Hut before continuing on to Horombo Hut.
Reach Horombo Hut in the afternoon and enjoy your last night on the mountain.

I kept asking if this was a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, and I kept thinking it was the beginning of a lifetime of exciting travel. This was the most incredible bike trek I've ever had, and I can't wait to do it again. All of my satisfaction came from the fact that I was able to see and experience a lot about Kilimanjaro throughout the 5 day Kilimanjaro trekking via Marangu route, as the guide was gracious enough to patiently answer all of my questions. The team was generous, and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had the finest time possible on the mountain. Meals were cooked by the chef and were always stored hot and fresh. 1
