6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro on Marangu Route Tour Details

Overview

Itinerary

Itinerary for 6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro on Marangu Route

Day 0 Pre-trek briefing

Overnight Location - None | Distance - None | Meals - None

If you have opted for the optional airport transfers, you will be picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport and transferred to your hotel in Moshi.
Pre-trek briefing at your Moshi hotel. You should be planning to arrive at least one day before the start of the trek. Today you will spend time having a pre-trek briefing. The team will also review your equipment and rent any equipment which is needed.

Day 1 Hike through the rainforest to Mandara Hut

Overnight Location - Mountain hut on Mount Kilimanjaro (2,700m / 8,858ft) | Distance - 3 to 4 hours, 8 km, 840m of ascent | Meals - Lunch, dinner

Your tour begins with an hour's ride from your hotel in Moshi to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. You’ll have to go through some registration at the gate, but you’ll be on trekking in no time! Today your path will be through the lush rainforest vegetation, so look for birds and monkeys in the trees. A great opportunity to see monkeys presents if you decide to take the short side trip to Maundi Crater before you return to camp.

Day 2 Trek through moorland to Horombo Hut

Overnight Location - Mountain hut on Mount Kilimanjaro (3,720m / 12,204ft) | Distance - 5 to 6 hours, 12 km, 1000m of ascent | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner

The trail today will start to climb out of the trees and you’ll begin trekking across the open moorlands. You’ll be gaining a lot of elevation today! You’ll be spending the next two nights at the lively Horombo Hut, so be sure to enjoy the social atmosphere.

Day 3 Rest day at Horomobo

Overnight Location - Mountain hut on Mount Kilimanjaro (3,720m / 12,204ft) | Distance - None | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner

It’s up to you to decide what you’d like to do today. Relax, enjoy the views, make new friends, and fuel up on hearty food in preparation for the rest of your journey. If you’re feeling restless, take a hike by Mawenzi Peak.

Day 4 Trek the saddle of Mount Kilimanjaro to Kibo Hut

Overnight Location - Mountain Hut on Mount Kilimanjaro (4,703m / 15,429ft) | Distance - 5 to 6 hours, 9 km, 1000 m of ascent | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner

The landscape will change again today as you climb up into the alpine desert it will begin to look more like a lunar landscape! Your porters will be collecting water from the last source of water along the trail. You may still be well rested from yesterday, but you’ll still want to go to bed early in preparation for tomorrow morning’s midnight departure!

Day 5 Hike to the summit

Overnight Location - Mountain hut on Mount Kilimanjaro (3,720m / 12,204ft) | Distance - 6 to 8 hours, 21 km, 1125m of ascent, 2175 of descent | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner

It will still be dark when you begin your hike sometime around midnight. Today will be the most challenging day of the trek, as the air is very thin and you’ll be hiking some very steep switchbacks with heavy scree and tricky footing. After you’ve reached Gilman’s Point the sun should be up, and you’ll have the snow-capped peak in your sights. The view from the top of Uhuru Peak will be spectacular! Make sure to celebrate with lots of photos before you begin your descent back down to Kibo Hut for lunch and Horombo Hut for the night.

Day 6 Return to the rainforest and trip back to Moshi

Overnight Location - Hotel in Moshi | Distance - 4 to 5 hours, 20 km, 2000m of descent | Meals - Breakfast

Your last day on the mountain will be a welcome return to the rainforest and the lower elevations. Once you’ve reached the park gate your vehicle will be waiting to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi.
