Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the world. You can climb to the summit - Uhuru Point - via Marangu, Machame, Rongai, Lemosho, Umbwe, Shira Northern Circuit, and Western Breach Routes and on the Marangu Route by bike. On this Tanzania climbing trip the route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast and is considered to be the easiest route among the five climbing routes, due to its gradual slope and the direct path. It is considered to be the oldest but best established and the only route that offers facilities such as sleeping huts which are in dormitory-style with bunk beds at Mandara, Kibo, and Horombo huts. Mattresses and pillows are provided but you will need sleeping bags. The huts have dining halls and washrooms. Soft drinks, water and beers are available but these are not included in the price.
From USD 1,900 per person
After breakfast you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the office for a briefing and equipment check. We then start the journey and after the gate formalities we hike up to the Mandara Hut. There will be an experienced mountain guide, chefs and porters to accompany you through this journey.
Today you will ascend through the open moorland up to Horombo Hut. From this post, you will start to notice the altitude changing. You will be able to see lobelias, groundsels and the great view of Mawenzi and the summit of Kibo. This hike will take about 5 – 6 hours and is a distance of 12 km. Once you reach Horombo Hut, you will be able to take a nice hot shower and get some rest for the next day.
Today you will be passing the last water point and from there the adventure will be deep walking to the Kilimanjaro saddle which is the way between the two peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi. This hike will take you 5 – 7 hours with a distance of 9.5 km. On arrival at Kibo Hut, you will be able to enjoy a great dinner.
You will be leaving at around 2 am, to start climbing to the summit, on steep heavy scree or sometimes snow, up to Gilman’s point, which is located on the crater rim. From there you will ascend to Uhuru peak . You will spend a short time here to take in the breathtaking view and soon after you will descend through Kibo to the Horombo encampment. You will then return to Horombo Hut to get some well-deserved rest.
After breakfast, you will continue descending, passing through the Mandara Huts and on to the Marangu Gate, where you started the adventure. The office team will be waiting to pick you up and drive you back to Moshi.
