Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Hotel to Mandara Hut
  • After breakfast and a briefing, drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (approximately 1 hour), register, and commence the climb.
  • Walk through the rainforest to the Mandara encampment.

  • Look for giant lobelias and groundsel plants.
  • You may begin to feel the effects of the altitude.

  • Distance: 12km/7.5mi
  • Hiking Time: 5-6 hours

  • Ascending, we now pass the last watering point, walking onto the saddle of Kilimanjaro between the peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi.

  • Continue ascending to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, where you will encounter breathtaking views at every turn.
  • Have your picture taken at the summit to share with friends and family.
