描述

The towering peak of the mountain is drenched in brilliant light, spikes of thin emerald impale the snow in distinctive directions. The enchanted cloud forest beckons one into its pulsing heart.
Day 1: Rongai Gate / Nalemoru (1950m) to Simba Camp (2650m) (First Cave Camp)
Walking Time: 3-4hrs Distance: 6.5km Altitude Gain: 700m
In the morning we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the Rongai Gate (approximately 1,8km). After the necessary park registration is completed, we will proceed to the Nalemoru Gate (Just under 2km). There will be an opportunity to meet your crew and a comforting hot lunch will be served at the gate. We will embark on the great journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Your trek starts with a twisting path that intersects with a field of maize.

Day 2: Simba Camp (2650m) to Kikelewa Caves (3600m) (Third Caves Camp)
Walking Time: 6-7hrs Distance: 9km Altitude Gain: 950m
In the morning the journey towards Kibo will resume. At the second ancient cave, an appetizing hot lunch will be served. After lunch, we will trek through a brief section of the barren dunes of the moorland and continue amid the heather vegetation zone which is studded with ethereal, enormous lobelias.

Day 3: Kikelewa Caves (3600m) to Mawenzi Tarn (4330m)
Walking Time: 3-4hrs Distance: 6km Altitude Gain: 370m
Breakfast will be served at the campsite. Our day begins on a short-inclined pasture that leads to an area of wilderness. A low desert environment will replace the limited vegetation. We will arrive at the Mawenzi Tarn Hut (4,330m) where a delectable hot lunch will be served.

Day 4: Mawenzi Tarn to Kibo Hut (4700m)
Walking Time: 4-5hrs Distance: 9km Altitude Gain: 370m
Note that the trail progressively becomes steeper and stonier as we advance further away from the Mawenzi Tarn Hut. We will travel up a desolate site that leads to ‘The Saddle’ – an extensive lunar lava stone landscape that stretches between Mawenzi and Kibo. The journey is complimented by the marvelous views of the towering upper regions of Kilimanjaro.

Day 5: Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak (5895m) to Horombo Hut (3700m)
Walking Time: 6-8hrs ascent, 5-6hrs Descent Distance: 5km ascent, 15km Descent Altitude Gain: 1195m, Altitude Loss: 2195m
Our voyage to the summit begins at midnight and this is the longest, most laborious day of the whole trek. The trail consists of a long, sharp slope until we pass the Hans Meyer Cave. Gilman’s point or the lips of Kilimanjaro indicate that Uhuru Peak (5895m) is merely a two-hour hike away. Once you progress to Uhuru and behold the spectacle of the first peach-hued rays of light brushing against the ice-laden fields of the Mawenzi Peaks – you will comprehend the magnitude of your victory.

Day 6: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate (1800m) to Hotel
Walking Time: 5-6hrs Distance: 20km Altitude Gain: 1195m Altitude Loss: 1900m
After breakfast, we will descend to the Marangu gate. On our journey, we will encounter the Mandara Hut and travel through the lush rainforest once again. When we get to the Marangu gate you will be awarded with a certificate to prove that you completed the 6-day Rongai Route.
