Day 1

MANDARA HUT 1,372m

In the morning at Marangu gate, you meet your team of guides and porters. After greetings start  four to five hours walk through patches of coffee plantation and dense rainforest to Mandara Hut  - on the way brightly-coloured bird life, colobus and other varieties of monkey.  

Mandara Hut is a collection of basic, A-frame mountain huts with bunk bedsOvernight stay Mandara Hut – 1 night (Brekfast, Lunch and Dinner).


Day 2

HOROMBO HUT 3,720m

Your second day  gives way to rolling alpine meadow dotted with giant heather. Kilimanjaro’s twin peaks – snowcovered Kibo and rocky Mawenzi – lie directly ahead, dominating the skyline. Today you gain roughly 1,000m in altitude, and your walk can take anything from five to seven hours . Tonight you stay at Horombo Huts – which offer shelter and basic accommodation to those on the mountain.
Overnight stay at Horombo Hut (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

 


Day 3

HOROMBO HUT 3,720m

 A day here provides an opportunity for you to acclimatise gradually to the altitude. The day you can have a few walks – the most popular of which is to the base of Mawenzi Peak, the dramatic eastern summit of Kili. This walk takes four to five hours (round trip), and will get you to an altitude of 4,600m before you return to the hut – this will stand you in good stead later on.
Overnight stay at Horombo Hut (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

 


Day 4

KIBO HUT (4,705m)

The landscape becomes progressively more rocky and rugged .Today’s trail up to Kibo will again take anything between five and seven hours. Skirting Mawenzi Peak, you pass " Last Water"  then cross a stark, almost lunar landscape onto “The Saddle”, a broad tundra desert between the two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. From here you start to get fantastic views of the upper reaches of the mountain before arriving at Kibo Hut (4,705m), a dry-stone-walled hut with dormitories and limited facilities. Tonight you prepare for tomorrow’s final assault – THE SUMMIT.


Day 5

UHURU PEAK (5,896m)

This is a long and demanding day! The guides wake you soon after midnight and you start out in darkness, zigzagging up a long scree slope by the light of your torch in the extreme cold. At this time of day the scree is still frozen – which makes it easier to walk on! After roughly two hours you should reach Hans Meyer’s Cave . The gradient gets steeper and three hours on  you should reach the crater rim at Johanne's Notch. Your reward is the dramatic spectacle of the sun rising .From here takes another couple of hours along the crater rim to reach Uhuru (Freedom) Peak (5,896m). Your descent (approx 3 hours) retraces the route back down past Kibo Hut to Horombo Hut for a well-deserved rest. 
Overnight stay at Horombo Hut for 1 night (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)


Day 6
