ITINERARY
DAY 0: ARRIVAL KILIMANJARO AIRPORT
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met with an Alpine Chat Adventure representative and transferred for overnight accommodation at Chanya Lodge in Moshi B&B. Your head guide will meet you for your briefing, gear check, and arrange for you to hire any equipment you may need.

DAY 1: MARANGU GATE – MANDARA HUTS
Departing from Moshi, Village of Marangu to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We will patiently wait for our permits to be issued, Enjoy the beautiful rainforest scenery and windy trails while your guide tells you about the flora and fauna and natural wildlife. At these lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and quite slippery. We highly recommend gaiters and trekking poles here.

DAY 2: MANDARA HUTS – HOROMBO HUTS
After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, we emerge from the rain forest and continue on an ascending path, through heathland, looking for giant lobelias and groundsels. Continue up into open moorlands where small shrubs are the main vegetation. Stop halfway for lunch, to enjoy amazing views of Mawenzi. Arrive at the Horombo Huts late afternoon beneath the spectacular Kibo Summit viewpoint. Temperatures begin to drop.

DAY 3: HOROMBO HUTS- KIBO HUTS
After breakfast, we continue through the dwindling heathland that blends into a moonscape as you enter the sweeping saddle connecting Mawenzi and Kibo. Here while we stop for lunch, and later when you cross this surprisingly large saddle, you can examine the summit climb up Kibo that you will be starting in just a few hours.

DAY 4: KIBO HUTS – SUMMIT - HOROMBO HUTS
Excitement is building as morning comes with an early start between midnight and 2 a.m. From here on your remaining 1-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak, you are likely to encounter snow all the way.
Congratulations, one step at a time you have now reached Uhuru Peak the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire continent of Africa!
After photos and celebrations, we begin our steep descent down to Horombo huts, stopping at Kibo for lunch and a very brief rest. We strongly recommend gaiters and trekking poles for uncooperative loose gravel and volcano ash terrain. Well-deserved rest awaits you to enjoy your last evening on the mountain. Overnight Horombo Huts.

DAY 5: HOROMBO HUTS – MARANGU GATE – MOSHI
