Detailed 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 paperwork 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: 8.3 km / 5.2 mi
Approximate 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 leaving Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone.
Approximately 4 to 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3,700 meters.
From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo, and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.

Distance covered: 12.5 km / 7.8 mi
Approximate time taken: 9 hours
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

Day 3 Horombo Hut (3700m) to Kibo Hut (4700m)

Today's stage is long and challenging.
The well-constructed trail passes the "Last Water Point," followed by the so-called "Saddle."
This nearly vegetation-less plateau connects the main summit, Kibo, with Mawenzi.
Today's destination is the Kibo Hut, which is typically reached in about 5 to 6 hours.
Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.

Distance covered: 9.5 km / 5.9 mi
Approximate time taken: 7 hours
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

Day 4 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 the land.
You will soon forget the cold of the night, and after a further hike of 1 to 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m.
On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you, followed by a 1 to 2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.

Distance covered: 22km / 13.7mi
Approximate time taken: 12 to 15 hours
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

Day 5 Horombo Hut (3700m) to Marangu Gate (1860m)

You will soon pass through the tropical rainforest, and after a total trekking time of 6 hours, you will arrive back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m).
After saying goodbye to your mountain guides, a short transfer will take you back to your hotel in Moshi.
Once there, you can enjoy a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.
