    Early pickup from your hotel to Marangu gate followed by arrangement to enter the park. The hiking trail goes through a beautiful, tropical rainforest. At the upper edge of the forest line, possible to meet and see blue monkeys. The trail then widens to expose beautiful hillsides up to Mandara Hut.
Day 2: Mandara Huts to Horombo Huts
  1. Kilimanjaro National Park
    5h
    We start the day continuing through the forest until the trail opens into high moorland. We may get our first views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks - two of the three volcanic peaks that make up the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Day 3: Horombo Huts to Mawenzi Ridge to Horombo Huts
  1. Mount Kilimanjaro
    4h · Admission ticket included
    This is an extra day meant for acclimatization and can be spent day hiking on Mawenzi Ridge. The unique landscape offers motivating views of Kibo and Mawenzi. After spending a few moments exploring the area we head back to Horombo Hut.
Day 4: Trekking from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut
  1. Mount Kilimanjaro
    6h · Admission ticket included
    Today, following our morning meal, the team will embark on a journey towards the Kibo Hut, situated at an elevation of 4,700 meters (approximately 15,419 feet). The trek itself is relatively manageable; it is vital to maintain a suitable pace to conserve your energy for the ascent to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Upon arriving at the camp, a nourishing lunch will be provided, and we strongly advise making the most of your rest by taking ample naps, refraining from strenuous activities, and staying well-hydrated.
Day 5: Asent to Uhuru Peak and Descent to Homboro Hut

    5h · Admission ticket included
    At night, your team will set out from Kibo Hut, which stands at an elevation of 4,700 meters (about 15,419 feet), embarking on the journey to reach the pinnacle of Kilimanjaro known as Uhuru Peak, soaring to 5,895 meters (around 19,340 feet). This segment of the Marangu Route isn't particularly challenging in terms of technical difficulty, but due to the high altitude, even regular physical exertion can feel demanding.

    For the final push to the summit, we pair two climbers with a single guide. The guide's role includes monitoring the climbers' physical well-being and offering encouragement and motivation to support their ultimate ascent.

    Upon your successful achievement of Uhuru Peak, you have the option to descend to the closest glacier if desired. Following this, you will return to Kibo Camp and, after a two-hour break, continue your descent to Horombo Hut, located at an altitude of 3,720 meters (approximately 12,205 feet).
