Stand at the roof of Africa on this thrilling trekking adventure!
At 5895m high, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak and the highest free-standing mountain in the world which one can scale without actual climbing- or technical expertise. As long as you are fit, healthy and have the drive and determination, there is a very good chance that you'll reach the top of Africa's most famous mountain.
Once on Uhuru peak, you are rewarded with unforgettable views from the Roof of Africa.
The Marangu RouteÂ
The Marangu route takes 5 days and taking a route from the south-east side of the mountain is the easiest and shortest route to Kilimanjaro’s summit. The trail approaches from the south side of Mawenzi and passes near two view points at Maundi Crater, before heading up through rain forests and moorland to heathland and moonscape at higher elevation. The final push to the top takes you to famous Gillman’s Point and onto Uhuru at 5895m
Because of its relative ease compared to other routes the Marangu Route is the most popular and has the best facilities. This is the only route with the comforts of solar-powered sleeping huts and comfortable beds at every camp. The huts are communal, with each bunk having a foam mattress and pillow. There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo huts and 120 beds at Horombo hut. Mealtimes are often shared with other groups from all over the world, providing lively and energetic mealtimes. Bathrooms and running water are available at the lower two huts and basic latrines are available at Kibo Camp.
Arrival day - Arrive any time this afternoon to acclimatise and relax at leisure after the journey to Africa/Moshi.
After Breakfast and the pre-trek briefing, we head off to the park gate which is a short 45 minute drive away. Starting on the eastern side of the mountain, we walk through forests initially, towards our first nights stop at the Mandara Huts.
Onwards and upwards, we are up early and trekking on through rainforests before emerging into the unique mountain heathland with giant lobelias and groundsel vegetation.An early afternoon arrival should ensure some relaxing time before dinner.
Crossing the side saddle of alpine desert today we should, if its clear, be rewarded with stunning views of the peak.We retire to bed early today to try and get as much rest as possible for tomorrows summit attempt.
Commencing our trek around 1am, we aim to reach summit shortly after sunrise. Its a hard trek up the steep scree slope, however the sense of achievement on reaching the roof of Africa is immense. After a short while on the summit we descend back to Horombo.
With every step forward and downward, the air gets thicker and our route takes us through moorland to Mandara huts for lunch, before continuing to the park gate. Here we transfer back to our hotel for a well earned celebration
After a good sleep in a comfortable bed, we have one final breakfast before arrangements end.
