Itinerary
Touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to Springlands Hotel in Moshi for an overnight stay with bed and breakfast.
Your adventure begins with a 45-minute drive to Marangu Gate (1,830 m). After registration, trek through lush rainforest to Mandara Hut (2,700 m). En route, pause for lunch and consider a short detour to Maundi Crater for panoramic views of Kenya and northern Tanzania.
Continue your ascent through heathland to Horombo Hut (3,720 m), enjoying vistas of Mawenzi Peak and the summit of Kibo. A mid-way lunch break offers time to recharge. Bathrooms with running water are available at the hut.
The trek to Kibo Hut (4,700 m) traverses alpine heath and the barren saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. This lunar-like landscape is breathtaking but challenging, so watch for signs of altitude sickness. There is no running water at Kibo Hut.
The most strenuous day begins at midnight. Ascend to Gilman’s Point (5,685 m) and onward to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) to witness a stunning sunrise. After celebrating your achievement, descend to Kibo Hut for your belongings and continue to Horombo Hut for overnight rest.
