Day 1 Arrive Moshi
Arrive in Moshi at any time.
Day 2 Kilimanjaro National Park (B,L,D)
Our climb will officially commence with a four-hour walk to the Mandara encampment. We'll pass through a thick rainforest zone, then spend the night at Mandara hut (2,750 m).
Day 3 Kilimanjaro National Park (B,L,D)
We continue our ascent through the forest, before reaching the heather and moorland zone at roughly 3,000 m. Enjoy stunning views of the mountain peaks at this altitude. We spend the night at Horombo Hut (3,720 m), which lies in a valley surrounded by giant lobelia and groundsel, flora which are characteristic of this semi-alpine zone.
Day 4 Kilimanjaro National Park (B,L,D)
Our trek ascends onto the saddle of Kilimanjaro, between the peaks of Kibo and Mwenzi. The vegetation thins out as we enter the desert-like alpine zone (approximately 4,000 m) and, once we cross the saddle, a stunning view of Kibo peak comes into view. Spend the night at Kibo Hut (4,703 m), a comfortable stone construction. This semi-desert zone receives an annual rainfall of under 250 mm and few plants other than lichens and grass survive in these conditions.
Day 5 Kilimanjaro Summit (B,L,D)
Shortly after midnight, we commence the climb towards the summit of Kilimanjaro. An early start time improves our chances of reaching the summit in time for the famous Kili sunrise. From Gillman's Point, it is a further three-hour round trip along the crater's edge to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. From the summit, it is downhill all the way to Horombo Hut where we spend our last night on the mountain.
Day 6 Kilimanjaro Descent (B,L,D)
Today’s descent continues past the Mandara encampment to the bottom of the mountain, where each hiker will receive a well-earned certificate.
