You will stop briefly at Gilman’s Point to enjoy the magnificent view before continuing along the rim of the crater to Uhuru. The last stretch of the climb features an even incline. Depending on the season, you may encounter snow on the last part of the route to Uhuru Peak, which is your final goal: the top of Kilimanjaro and the highest point in Africa.

If you are lucky, you may just spot a Colobus monkey or two – keep an eye out for black or white fur! Make sure you have the appropriate equipment and footwear because the low altitudes can produce wet, muddy soil.Hiking: 5-7 hoursOvernight Altitude: ~8,858Habitat: Rainfores Day 2: Mandara Huts – Horombo Huts To start off day 2, you will explore the final stretch of woodland as the massive stretch of moorland begins to open up right in front of your eyes. On your walk, you can appreciate the jagged peaks of Mawenzi that ascend up towards the skies of Africa. It is common for people to experience the onset of altitude sickness at these heights. It is important to pay attention to how you feel and communicate with your guide at the first and slightest indication of illness.

You must stay at camp and relax if you are showing any signs of illness or are feeling especially tired. However, if you feel well-acclimated to the altitude, then you are free to walk up to Mawenzi Hut and admire the incredible view of Kibo and Mawenzi. Keep a steady pace and you walk the route and enjoy the magnificent landscape. Otherwise, you can take a journey to the remarkable Zebra Rocks. This requires a climb of 310 metres.Hiking: 1-2 hoursOvernight Altitude: ~14,400Habitat: Heath/Moorland Day 4: Horombo Huts – Kibo Huts On day 4, you will walk through varied and strikingly picturesque landscapes. To begin, you will continue across the heath as it slowly turns into the parched, desolate highlands between Mawenzi and Kibo. The scenery here is littered with huge and small volcanic rocks, acting as a testament to the volcanic activity of years past. The final stretch to the Kibo Huts is very steep and physically challenging. Once you arrive at the Kibo Huts, it is time to organize your equipment and warm clothes for tomorrow’s journey to the peak. To prevent freezing, keep any water your plan on bringing in a thermos. Get to bed early, as the next day’s trek requires a full night’s sleep worth of energy. You are getting ready to take on Kilimanjaro’s most ultimate challenge!Hiking: 5-7 HoursOvernight Altitude: ~15,430Habitat: Alpine Desert Day 5 Kibo Huts – Gilman’s Point – Uhuru Peak – Horombo Huts As you awake around midnight, there is just enough time for a small meal before you begin your nightly hike. Many hikers consider the difficult terrain, scattered with loose rocks, to be the most difficult part of the climb. The goal is to reach Gilman’s Point by dawn. This is to make sure that you can make it to Uhuru, the highest point of Kibo, shortly after sunrise. There will be a quick stop at Gilman’s Point to experience the glorious view. Afterward, you will continue along the edge of the crater to Uhuru – this is the last part of the ascent and features a steady incline. Depending on when you take your journey, you may face snow on the final stretch of the path to the Uhuru Peak – the highest point in Africa and the very top of Kilimanjaro. As you reach the peak, an altitude of 5,895, you can congratulate yourself as you experience the astounding view and get a picture in front of the Uhuru Peak Sign. Now it is time to start back towards the Kibo Huts, you will find that this part goes by incredibly quickly. At the Kibo Huts, you will stop to relax and enjoy a much-needed lunch, before moving along to the Horombo Huts, where you will enjoy a well-deserved full night’s rest.Hiking: 4-5 HoursOvernight Altitude: ~12,205 Day 6: Horombo Huts – Marangu Gate – Arusha As we make the final descent through the rainforest to the Marangu Gate, we will have lunch and say farewell to our mountain crew.  Afterward, we will leave Mount Kilimanjaro National Park and drive back to Arusha for a much-need shower and a commemorative dinner!Hiking: 5-7 HoursOvernight Altitude: `1,84 inclusive Kilimanjaro trekking according to the itinerary Professional, English-speaking Wilderness First Responder & CPR certified Guide Proper Ration of Mountain crew (Cook & Porters) Pre and Post accommodations (2 nights Bed and Breakfast) Airport Transfers Meals according to the itinerary Drinking water and Full Board meals All National Park & Hut Fees, Crew Permits and VAT Fair and Sustainable Salary Crew Wages Gate Transfers Complimentary Oxygen Cylinder Portable Private Toilet and Porter Quality Imported Equipments   exclusive Flights Visa fees Travel  or Medical Insurance  is required and you should ask for Recommendation Gamow Bag Medication Tips for porters and mountain crew is recommended $450 per person Personal spending money for souvenirs etc. Energy food & beverages, alcoholic and soft drinks Personal hire gear such as trekking poles, sleeping bags, etc. Additional lodge nights if early decent from the mountain   Safaris Tanzania Safaris Kenya Safaris Uganda Safaris Zanzibar Holiday Kilimanjaro Climb Contact Info Ready to start planning your Tanzanian adventure?

Using headlamps (bring extra lithium batteries, which last much better in cold dark conditions!) you will ascend 6-7 hours to Stella Point and then another 1-2 hours to Uhuru Peak, the summit.
