6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Trek to Uhuru Peak

• After an early breakfast at your hotel in Moshi, your guide will pick you up and head to Marangu Gate. All the formalities will be handled there, and your trek to the highest mountain in Africa will officially begin.
• Our trek starts in the lush African forest, where animals such as blue monkeys can sometimes be spotted. As we continue, the path opens up to magnificent hillsides that lead us to Mandara Hut.

• On this day, we will traverse through the forest and continue into the high moorland. If the weather permits, we will get our first view of the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. Your guide will pay close attention to you at this stage, as many climbers tend to experience discomfort here.

• This is a special day for improving acclimatization. We will take a short hike to Mawenzi Hut and enjoy incredible views of Kibo and Mawenzi. The walk will be steady, and we will take in the great landscape along the way.

• Today features a steady climb across the lunar desert of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. Our accommodation is located at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall.
• After arrival, we will rest, have an early dinner, and prepare for summit day.

• We will rise early, around midnight, and begin our challenging hike to the highest peak in Africa. The path to Gilman's Point is steep, so the hike will be steady and include frequent short breaks.
• From Gilman's Point, we will continue traversing around the crater rim toward Uhuru Peak.
• After arriving at the peak, pictures will be taken, and we will then descend to Horombo Hut.

• We will make a long descent to Marangu Gate, where certificates will be awarded, and a car will be waiting to transfer us to Moshi.
