July 12: Arrive Moshi
Arrive in Moshi at any time. A pre-departure group meeting with your mountain guide is scheduled for the early evening.

July 13: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut (B,L,D)
Our climb will officially commence with a 4 hour walk to the Mandara encampment. We will pass through a thick rainforest zone, then spend the night at Mandara hut (2750m). (Hiking Time: 5-6 hrs).

July 14: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut (B,L,D)
We continue our ascent through the forest, before reaching the heather and moorland zone at roughly 3000m. Enjoy stunning views of the mountain peaks at this altitude. We spend the night at Horombo Hut (3720m), which lies in a valley surrounded by giant lobelia and groundsel, flora which are characteristic of this semi-alpine zone. (Hiking Time: 6 hrs).

July 15 Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut (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 4000m) and, once we cross the saddle, a stunning view of Kibo peak comes into view. Spend the night at Kibo Hut (4703m), a comfortable stone construction. This semi-desert zone receives an annual rainfall of under 250mm and few plants other than lichens and grass survive in these conditions. (Hiking Time: 6 hrs).

July 16: Kibo Hut to Summit to Horombo Hut (B,L,D)
Around 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 (5685m), it is a further 3 hour round trip along the crater’s edge to Uhuru Peak (5896m), 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. (Hiking Time: 14 hrs).

July 17: Descent - Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate (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. Take a swim, have a congratulatory beverage, and enjoy a good night’s sleep in the comfort of our hotel in Moshi. (Hiking Time: 6 hrs).
