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 forest walk to the Mandara encampment.
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 around the Horombo Hut (3,720 m), where we spend the night.
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.
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 the summit, it is downhill all the way to Horombo Hut where we spend our last night on the mountain.
Day 6 Kilimanjaro Descent/Moshi (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 before heading back to Moshi.

It is a short jaunt across to Arusha, a picturesque town that sits at the foot of rugged Mount Meru, Africa's fifth highest mountain.

Enjoy a morning game drive in the Serengeti National Park before continuing on to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The views at the crater's rim are stunning!
