Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1: Marangu Gate (1860m) to Mandara Hut (2700m)  

After  breakfast, you will be collected from your lodge 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.

• Distance covered: 8.3km / 5.2mi 
• Approx. time taken: 5 hours
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 2: Mandara Hut (2700m) to Horombo Hut (3700m)  

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.

• Distance covered: 12.5km / 7.8mi 
• Approx. time taken: 9 hours
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 3: Acclimatization trek to Zebra Rocks (4020m) then back to Horombo Hut (3700m)  

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.

• Distance covered: 5km / 3.1mi 
• Approx. time taken: 4 hours
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 4: Horombo Hut (3700m) to Kibo Hut (4700m)  

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.

• Distance covered: 9.5km / 5.9mi 
• Approx. time taken: 7 hours
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 5: Kibo Hut (4700m) to UHURU PEAK (5895m) & down to Horombo Hut (3700m)  

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.

• Distance covered: 22km / 13.7mi 
• Approx. time taken: 12 – 15 hours
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 6: Horombo Hut (3700m) to Marangu Gate (1860m)  

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.
