   • After breakfast and briefing, drive to the Marangu village and proceed to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate to register at the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority offices and commence the climb.

   • Walk through the rainforest to Mandara hut located at a side trip to Maundi Crater, which is a good way to see the surroundings, including Northern Tanzania.

2. Day 2: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

   • In the morning, after breakfast starting trekking to Horombo Hut. After about one hour, you will leave the glades of the rainforest and follow an ascending path on the open moorlands to the Horombo Hut. The view of Kibo summit and Mawenzi are both stunning and shining on clear days. In most cases, giant lobelias and groundsels are found on your way. Horombo hut is a point where most climbers use it for acclimatisation, whereby they spend an extra day. Spending an extra day give a wide chance for the successful summit of the roof of Africa.

3. Day 3: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

   • In the morning after breakfast, the trek will take us to the last watering point, walking onto the saddle of Kilimanjaro between the peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi. Vegetation begins with the upper heartland but then disappears into the desert-like structure. At Kibo, you will have your dinner, take a nap and in the middle of the midnight hours, prepare for the fantastic summit climb.

   Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included.

4. Day 4: Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak to Horombo Hut

   • Around midnight, awake for the final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. The hike begins with a demanding five hours hike to Gillman's Point on the crater rim. Although this is considered to be the easiest of the three crater ascent paths, it is still extremely difficult. The first major rest stop, William's Point, lies at five hundred meters and is approximately a two-hour hike in Kibo Hut. Continue on for thirty minutes before beginning the rocky switchbacks that will continue to Gillman's Point. The hike from Gilman's to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb, and as far as hikes go, not very difficult. The altitude, however, makes the hike long and tiring. The crater rim hike takes approximately two hours.

   • Upon reaching Uhuru, take photos at the peak before beginning the descent to Horombo Hut.

   • On the way down from the summit, you will see all of the magnificent views you could not see on the way up.

   • Stop for a short break and snacks at Kibo Hut before continuing on to Horombo Hut. Reach Horombo Hut in the afternoon and enjoy your last night on the mountain.

   Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included.

5. Day 5: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate
