    Arrival Day

    Day 1: Marangu Gate – Mandara Hut

    On this day we begin our  5 Days Marangu route climb. You’ll take a short drive from Arusha or moshi town to the Kilimanjaro Park Gate (1,830 m.) lies at the edge of Marangu, which is an attractive village with many small coffee and banana plantations. After we have completed the entrance formalities, we climb up through an attractive and beautiful forest to reach the clearing containing MANDARA HUT (2,700 m.). The volcanic remains of Maundi Crater are nearby and make a good afternoon excursion. An alternative is to rest and enjoy the beautiful forest. while resting in your Hut there is a rich bird-life at the huts and monkeys are often seen as well. [3-5 hours walking to Mandara Hut]

    Accommodation:  Mandara Hut

     

    Day 1

    DAY 2: Climbing Kilimanjaro Mandara Hut – Horombo Hut

    On our second day of climbing the 5 Days Marangu route, the first part of the walk is a steep ascent through forest, but the path soon opens out into grassy moorland and, in clear weather, there are good views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. We climb steadily through the moorland zone, containing giant heather and occasional stands of groundsel, to eventually reach HOROMBO HUT (3,720 m.).Sunrises and sunsets here are often very stunning, the site is close to the glaciated dome of Kibo, and there is a real sense of being above the clouds.

    Accommodation:  Horombo Hut

    Day 2

    DAY 3: Kilimanjaro climb Horombo Hut – Kibo Hut

    On this day you will climb very gradually towards the lunar desert of the Saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. The terrain changes to screed and there is a palpable sense of high altitude wilderness. We usually reach KIBO HUT (4,700 m.) at the bottom of the crater wall by midday and the afternoon is free (to contemplate the summit ascent!!). The remainder of the day is spent resting and eating in preparation for the final climb before a very early night

    Accommodation:  Kibo Hut

    Day 3

    DAY 4: Mount Kilimanjaro Summit Day – Then Down to Horombo Hut

    What a wonderful Day of Kilimanjaro Summit, you’ll start an ascent by torchlight at about 1 a.m. so that we can be up at GILLMAN’S POINT by sunrise. The initial climb is steep over loose volcanic screen, but there are some well-graded zigzag and a slow but steady pace will have us up to Gillman’s (5,685 m.) in about five or six hours. We will rest there and spend some time taking in the sunrise. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three hour round trip from here along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m.), passing close to the spectacular glaciers that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent is surprisingly fast and we return to HOROMBO HUT for the night.

    Accommodation:  Horombo Hut

    Day 4

    DAY 5: Descending Kilimanjaro Horombo Hut – Moshi

    This day marks the end of your 5 day Marangu route climb, after breakfast, we will start with a pleasant moorland walk to Mandara and then a LOVELY FOREST walk to the National Park gates to Arusha town. The greenness and lushness of the forest is quite a stunning contrast to the summit day, and it really makes you realize how varied the scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro.

    Accommodation:  Keys Hotel
