Day 1 : Moshi- Marangu Gate To Mandara Hut (8Km - 4/5 Hours)

Location: Marangu Gate, Moshi

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Mandara Hut

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, you will be collected from your hotel in Moshi and taken to the Marangu gate. Once the necessary paper work has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of some primates as you head to the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior.

Day 2 : Mandara Hut To Horombo Hut (12Km - 6/8 Hours)

Location: Horombo Huts, Mandara Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Horombo hut

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. Approximately 4 – 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.

Day 3 : Horombo Hut – Mawenzi - Back To Horombo Hut (Full Day Acclimatization Day)

Location: Horombo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Horombo hut

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today serves as an acclimatization day. This should not be underestimated and greatly improves your chance of success in reaching the summit. After a relaxing breakfast, a 4 hour trek follows to the Zebra Rocks (4020m). The distinctive black and white stripes give the rock formation its name. On your return to Horombo Hut, a warm lunch will be waiting for you. You can relax in the afternoon and regain your strength for the hike the following day.

Day 4 : Horombo - Kibo Hut

Location: Horombo Huts, Kibo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Kibo hut

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water point” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut that is usually reached in about 5 - 6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.

Day 5 : Kibo Hut To Uhuru Peak/Summit Then To Horombo

Location: Uhuru Peak, Horombo Huts, Kibo Huts

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Horombo hut

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today is “The Big Day” - the summit stage. You will begin your final ascent around midnight which will be long and strenuous. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 - 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you followed by a 1 - 2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.

Day 6 : Horombo Hut To Marangu Gate To Moshi Town

Location: Horombo Huts, Moshi, Marangu Gate

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Kilimanjaro White House Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides, a short transfer follows to take you back to your hotel in Moshi. Once there, you can take a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of the Kilimanjaro.
