Embark on a 5-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route. Stay in mountain huts along the way and enjoy the convenience of a guide and porters.
Embark on a 5-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Follow the Marangu Route, the only route up the mountain where you sleep in huts instead of tents. Enjoy the convenience of having your meals prepared for you and your gear carried by porters.

Day 1: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut
Depart Moshi for Marangu Gate for the necessary formalities before beginning your trek. The hiking trail begins by ascending a beautiful, tropical rainforest. At the upper edge of the forest line, have the opportunity to see blue monkeys. The trail then widens to expose beautiful hillsides until you reach Mandara Hut.

Day 2: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut
Start the day continuing through the forest until the trail opens into high moorland. Get your first views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks – two of the three volcanic peaks that make up the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Day 3: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut
Climb gradually, then cross the lunar desert of the “Saddle” between Mawenzi and Kibo. Your camp, Kibo Hut, sits at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. Once here, rest and enjoy an early dinner to prepare for the summit day.

Day 4: Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak to Horombo Hut
Very early in the morning (around midnight), begin your push to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. The wind and cold at this elevation and time of day can be extreme. Ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent, but short, breaks. At Gilman’s point, be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak. Finally, arrive at Uhuru Peak- the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa.

After spending a few moments taking in the plains of Africa and your accomplishment, descend to Horombo Hut. Later in the evening, enjoy your last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.

Day 5: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate
On your last day, have a long trek mostly downhill through the tropical rainforest. Once at the park headquarters at Marangu gate, collect your summit certificates. A vehicle will meet you here and drive you back to the hotel in Moshi for a hot shower.
