About the product
Day 1: Arrival and overnight
Arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport. You will be met at the airport and transferred to the hotel in Moshi for your overnight.
Day 2: Trek start date
Camping
Your day starts early with breakfast and a briefing. You then start to climb gently but consistently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife.
Day 3: Trek up to the Second Cave
Camping
Your morning walk is a steady ascent up to the Second Cave. En route, you will enjoy superb views of Kibo and the eastern ice fields on the crater rim.
Day 4: Trek up to the Third Cave
Guest house
Your continuing steady ascent takes you up to the Third Cave. Closer now, the eastern ice fields on the crater rim continue to draw you upwards. On this day, be careful to notice any signs of altitude sickness.
Day 5: Trek from Third Cave to Kibo Hut
Camping
Today, you hike up to the Kibo Huts at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall, and this is where you join the popular Marangu Route. Plan on doing your hike early in the day, then resting in preparation for your final ascent. Prepare your equipment and warm clothing for your summit climb, then turn in early.
Day 6: Trek from Kibo Hut - Uhuru Peak - Horombo Hut
Camping
Wake at midnight to a light breakfast, then prepare for your summit ascent.
You do the beginning of this climb in the dark with headlamps or flashlights. It will be very cold until you start descending, so you will need all of your warm layers. This is, by far, the most difficult part of the trek. Slowly slowly, or, “pole pole,” and an optimistic attitude will get you there!
Day 7: Trek from Horombo Hut - Madara Hut - Moshi
Hotel
Wake as usual, pack, and descend through the moorland to the Mandara Huts to Marangu gate then Moshi town.
