    Day 1
    Arrival at Mount Kilimanjaro International Airport

    Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where you will be met by our tour company representative, and transferred to your hotel. The hotel will provide all the essentials for a comfortable stay: cozy rooms, hot water, polite staff, a swimming pool, and Internet access. In the evening, there will be a briefing with your climb representatives who will share information on your upcoming climb and ensure you are ready to embark on your adventure. Overnight Aishi Machame Hotel. Bed and breakfast provided

    Note: Check-in starts at 2:00 PM.

    Accommodation: Aishi Machame Hotel.

    Day 2
    Mount Kilimanjaro(Trekking From Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut).

    A guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at the hotel in the morning in order to meet you and hold a quick briefing, after which you will travel by vehicle to Kilimanjaro National Park's eastern entrance: Marangu Gate (1,860 m). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will start trekking up to Mandara Hut (2,700 m).The trekking route includes passage through the rainforest (where tropical showers are highly probable), so we recommend you take not only spare clothes, but also your raincoats. When you reach the camp, our mountain support crew will take care of the necessities, pitch the tents, and prepare lunch. Throughout the entire Marangu route, you will be spending your nights in special huts. They offer a great alternative to those who do not
    want to sleep in tents.

    This will be your first day at this altitude, so it is strongly recommended you heed the following instructions from this point on:

    • Abstain from consuming alcohol and caffeine
    • Drink over 4 liters of bottled water daily (little by little, frequently)

    Change in Elevation: Marangu Gate (1,860 m) — Mandara Hut (2,700 m)
    Hiking distance: 11 km
    Hiking time: 5–7 hours.
    Activities: Trekking.
    Accommodation: Mandara Hut

    Day 3
    Mount Kilimanjaro(Trekking from Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut).

    Early in the morning after breakfast, the group will depart Mandara Hut to start a moderate trek towards the second high altitude camp: Horombo Hut (3,720 m). When you reach the camp on this day, you will be treated to views of two volcanoes at once: Kibo and Mawenzi. Several hours after lunch you will have to complete an acclimatization
    hike in the direction of Kibo Hut with a 200-meter gain in altitude, and then hike back down to Horombo Hut where dinner will be prepared for you.

    Note: The acclimatization hike is an easy trek with a slight gain in altitude done in order to speed up the acclimatization process. You should take the acclimatization hikes very seriously. They help increase your chances of successfully summitting Kilimanjaro and save you from the consequences of altitude sickness.

    Night departure from Kibo Hut (4,700 m) and the start of your trekking to Kilimanjaro's summit: Uhuru peak (5,895 m). The trekking will be moderate from a physical standpoint, but the altitude presents a much more serious problem. For the entire length of the trekking, each pair of climbers will be accompanied by their own guide, who will be monitoring your stamina and mental resolve. After your successful ascent to Uhuru Peak, you can descend to the nearest glacier if
    desired. Then you will return to Kibo Camp and after a two-hour rest continue your descent to Horombo Hut (3,720 m).
