Tour Plan
After receiving a pick-up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and being driven to your hotel in Moshi Town, you will meet our guide, who will provide you with information about your forthcoming trip and ensure that you have all the equipment you need for the mountains. On this day, missing gear can be hired.
This is an attractive day’s walking that enables you to clear the confines of the forest and secure your fist, inspirational views of Kibo and Mawenzi. The steady climb through the more exposed, bleaker and moorland is relatively gentle. The path is clear and even, ensuring that 5-6 hrs of gentle walking should see you arrive at the village-like Horombo Hut complex.
Use this day to relax at the campsite and acclimatize at zebra rocks. Is only about one hour to and from the campsite. Is advised to use this opportunity to adjust your body to the high altitude about 100Mamsl from the campsite and it can help to avoid the headache and other mountain sickness (AMS).
By this stage the enormity of Kilimanjaro will begin to sink in; 5-6 hrs ascent from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut is a lengthy trudge across the very exposed, starkly beautiful Saddle that allows you to contemplate the great mound of Kibo rising ahead of you. As you plod across the barren highlands desert you will be rewarded with great views of Kibo and Mawenzi, at least until the clouds boil in and obscure the summits.
Wake up around 23:00 for adding more warm clothes and head lamp. Leave the campsite and start summiting by midnight into the glacial zone. The path leads to Gilman’s point 5681m after 6 hours walking up to reach the sunrise at Stella point. Take another 45 minutes or 1 hour at Uhuru Peak 5895m the roof-top of Africa. Have time for pictures and a little rest while at the summit. After a short rest, for start to descending down to Kibo hut and will take 3 hours till to get to that hut for the short rest and lunch. After that rest and lunch starts repack all gears of you and descend down to Horombo Hut again “pole pole” (slowly slowly).
This final section is a very satisfying end to your Kilimanjaro experience. The descent is gentle and steady and passes through some very pleasant stretches of scenery. Walk slowly, enjoy the downhill gradient and look at the minutiae along the trail. You will also be able to see both Kibo and Mawenzi slip away from you.
You have the entire day to relax after safari or trekking before your return flight. You can see Moshi town, go on day trips, or get some souvenirs before leaving for the airport, depending on the time of your departure.If you want to explore Tanzania even further, there are add-ons like safari and Zanzibar.
