描述
Embark on an adventure to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro on this 6-day trek via the Marangu Route. Hike through the rainforest, moorland, and alpine desert to reach the summit.
Climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro on a 6-day guided trek. Follow the Marangu Route, the most popular path to the summit, and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.
Day 1: Arusha to Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut
Depart from Arusha to 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, you 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. You may get your first views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks – two of the three volcanic peaks that make up the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Day 3: Horombo acclimatization
This acclimatization day is optional but please keep in mind that the Marangu Route has the lowest success rate. We recommend that you add this optional one-day stay at the Horombo Hut to explore the surroundings. It will increase your chances to reach Uhuru peak. Dinner and overnight are at Horombo Hut.
Day 4: Horombo to Kibo Hut
Climb gradually, then cross the lunar desert of the “Saddle” between Mawenzi and Kibo, Kibo Hut sits at the bottom of the Kibo Crater wall. Once here, you rest and enjoy an early dinner to prepare for the summit day.
Day 5: Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak, Uhuru Peak to Horombo Hut
Very early in the morning (around midnight), you 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. You ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent, but short breaks.
At Gilman’s Point (18,600ft), you will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak. Finally, you arrive at Uhuru Peak - the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa.
After spending a few moments in the plains of Africa and your accomplishment, you descend to Horombo Hut. Later in the evening, you enjoy your last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.
Day 6: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate to Arusha
On the 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 at Marangu gate and drive back to Arusha.
