Day 1: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut.

From Moshi town, take a quick drive to the Kilimanjaro Park Gate (1,830 m), which is located on the outskirts of Marangu, a charming community with numerous tiny coffee and banana plantations. After completing the entrance procedures, we ascend through a lovely, untouched forest to reach the clearing where Mandara Hut is located (2,700 m.). Maundi Crater's volcanic ruins are nearby and a fun afternoon excursion. Another option is to relax and take in the stunning woodland. The huts have a diverse bird population, and monkeys are frequently spotted there as well. (3-5 hours on foot to reach Mandara Hut)

Day 2:Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

The first part of the walk is a steep ascent through the 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.[Walking from Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut takes 4-6 hours]

Stop At: Kibo Tower, Boma Road Rindi Lane, Moshi 255 Tanzania
Day 3: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

We ascend very gradually as we approach the Saddle, a lunar desert located between Mawenzi and Kibo. Screed dominates the landscape, and a sense of the remote high altitude wildness is apparent. By midday, we normally arrive at Kibo Hut (4,700 m), which lies at the base of the crater wall, and the afternoon is free (to plan the summit ascent!). Resting and eating are done for the rest of the day in order to be ready for the last ascent and an early night! [Walking from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut takes 4-5 hours]

Day 4: Summit Day then down to Horombo Hut

Around one in the morning, we will begin our trek by torchlight so that we can arrive at Gillman's Point in time for daybreak. We will reach Gillman's (5,685 m.) in about five or six hours if we move slowly but steadily. The early ascent is steep over loose volcanic screen, but there are several well-graded zigzags. There, we'll take a break and enjoy the sunrise for a while. Those who are still in good shape can make the three-hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m) from here while passing close to the breathtaking glaciers that still cover the majority of the summit area. We unexpectedly make a quick descent and get back to Horombo Hut for the evening. [11–15 walking hours from Kibo Hut to Gillman’s Point]
