Description

7 Days Kilimanjaro trip give you the best chance to go up to the summit via Marangu route. With us you have the best and well equipped team that will help you make it to the summit.
Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport to Moshi
We will send a driver to the airport to pick you up and take you to the hotel in Moshi. Orientation will take place at the hotel. Our guides will highlight all the important details regarding your trek and an inspection of your trekking gear will take place.
Day 2: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut
You will have a chance to familiarise yourself with your guides, chefs and porters before departing the hotel in Moshi. You will begin your journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro after completing the gate registration. A great length of the hike is spent venturing on a narrow trail that is enclosed by the evergreen rainforest. We will continue walking through the rainforests of Kilimanjaro after lunch. Our final destination is the Mandara Hut. If you face the northwest you will see the striking Mawenzi Peak which resembles a crown in the sky with its prickly edges.

Day 3: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut
We will start heading towards Horombo Hut after breakfast. The environment will shift drastically as the 7 Days Marangu Route requires us to travel through Mount Kilimanjaro's moorland, a rock-strewn desert plain with succulent plants. There will be a picnic lunch during the hike.

Day 4: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut
After breakfast we will hike through the moorland and the alpine desert region of Mount Kilimanjaro. After hiking for about an hour we will encounter a small mountain stream called the Maua River. We will have an appetising lunch at the Middle Red Hill. The silver lining to traveling through a baron dessert is the breathtakingly stunning vista of the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. You will reach the Kibo hut in the afternoon. It is recommended that you rest and prepare for your midnight climb.

Day 5: Kibo Hut to Summit to Horombo Hut
We will leave shortly after midnight and begin with the strenuous five hour hike to Gillman's Point on the crater rim. This is considered to be the least challenging of the three crater ascent paths but it is still an arduous hike. . After thirty minutes of hiking you will reach the rocky bends and twists that continue for over six hundred metres or until you reach Gillman’s Point. The incline from Gilman's Point to Uhuru Peak increases gradually consequently it is not a difficult hike.

Day 6: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate to Moshi
We will finish the trek by descending to the Marangu Gate after breakfast. The final hike is simply magical. You will hike amid the gods in Mount Kilimanjaro's tranquil cloud forest. We advise that you watch your step as the trail can be fairly slippery. Our vehicles will be waiting at Marangu Gate to drive you back to Moshi.

Day 7: Moshi to Kilimanjaro Airport
A driver will bring you to Kilimanjaro Airport, from where you will connect your flight. If you’ve opted to go on a safari – well, that’s a different adventure and we’ll be thrilled to arrange it for you too!
