DAY 1: MARANGU GATE (1860M) TO MANDARA HUT (2700M)

You will be picked up from your Moshi accommodation and transported to the Marangu gate after breakfast. Your trip may begin after all of the required paperwork is done, and you will soon be trekking through the thick jungle.

As you make your way to the Mandara Hut, you’ll have the opportunity to see several primates in addition to the amazing flora. Following a well-deserved rest, your guide may drive you to the Maundi Crater, where you can take in the stunning views of Kenya’s interior.

Breakfast is served first thing in the morning. You will reach the timberline shortly after leaving Mandara Hut and then enter the heath and moor zone. The Horombo Hut, which stands at a height of 3700m, will be in sight 4–6 hours later. From the hut, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Mawenzi, Kibo, and the Masai steppe’s vast plain.

The current stage is lengthy and difficult. The well-maintained path leads to the “Last Water Point,” which is followed by the “saddle.” This virtually devoid of flora plateau connects Kibo’s main peak with Mawenzi. Today’s goal is the Kibo Hut, which takes approximately 5–6 hours to reach. Because the night will be brief, you will have an early evening dinner followed by an early night.

The summit stage is today, dubbed “The Big Day.” Around midnight, you’ll begin your last climb, which will be lengthy and difficult. The ascent gradually but steadily ascends after passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m.

To dawn, you’ll arrive at Gillman’s Point (5681m) on Kilimanjaro’s crater rim, where the light will begin to gently warm the ground. You’ll quickly forget about the cold of the night, and after another 1–2 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m.

A delicious lunch awaits you upon your return to Kibo Hut, followed by a 1–2 hour rest before returning to Horombo Hut.

The last section takes you across the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700m), where you’ll find a hot meal. You’ll soon travel through tropical rainforest again, and after a total of 6 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m).

After saying your goodbyes to your mountain guides, you’ll be taken back to your accommodation in Moshi by a short transport. After a warm and soothing shower, you may enjoy your achievement of reaching the top of Kilimanjaro.

After the hike, you’ll have the rest of the day free to relax before your trip home. Depending on flight schedules, you may want to go sightseeing around Moshi and pick up some souvenirs before going to the airport.

*If you want to continue exploring Tanzania, safaris, Zanzibar, and other add-ons are available.
