The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. Approximately 4 – 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo and the wide plain of the Masai steppe. Distance covered: 12.5km / 7.8mi Approx. time taken: 9 hours

Kilimanjaro

Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water point” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut that is usually reached in about 5 – 6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short. Distance covered: 9.5km / 5.9mi Approx. time taken: 7 hours

Camping

On the final day, descend through the heath and moor zone to Mandara Hut (2700m) for a warm lunch. Continue through the rainforest, reaching Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m) after ~6 hours. Bid farewell to your guides and transfer back to your Moshi hotel. Celebrate your summit success with a relaxing shower! Distance: 20.8km / 12.9mi Time: ~8 hours.
