Description

This trip is so amazing and enjoyable that you'll never regret visiting Kilimanjaro's multi-day hike. There are a lot of wonderful things like landscapes, forests, and beautiful animals.
KILIMANJARO RONGAI ROUTE IN 6- DAYS:
DAY 1: MOSHI – SIMBA CAMP:
Elevation: 1997m/6552ft to 2635m/8645ft
Departing from Moshi 4-5 hour drive will take you through the coffee plantations and Village of Nale Muru to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate.

DAY 2: SIMBA CAMP – SECOND CAVE CAMP:
Elevation: 2635m/8645ft to 3487m/11,440ft
After a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast we continue along moorland terrain on a consistent ascending path. You will catch some terrific views of Kibo and get your first glimpse of the ice fields on the Eastern crater rim. The small shrubs of the moorland became thinner as you approve the Second Cave. Temperatures begin to drop.

DAY 3: SECOND CAVE CAMP – THIRD CAVE CAMP:
Elevation: 2635m/8645ft to 3936m/12,913ft
After breakfast and packing, you continue your stead ascent, entering into the semi-desert terrain. This relatively short hiking day brings you closer to the Easter ice fields, continually drawing your attention to their beauty. Pay attention to your body and keep your guide informed of any signs of altitude sickness.

DAY 4: THIRD CAVE CAMP- KIBO HUTS:
Elevation: 3936m/12,913ft to 5174m/16975ft
As you depart early the semi-desert zone from the Third Cave early in the morning and begin your trek into the Alpine Desert terrain for the remainder of your ascent. Today’s hike will take you just below the Kibo crater wall to the Kibo Huts. At this point, you will merge with the Marangu Route, which you will use to hike to the summit.
DAY 5: KIBO HUTS –HOROMBO HUTS:
Elevation: 5174m/16975ft to 5895m/19,341ft
Excitement is building as morning comes with an early start between midnight and 2 a.m. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek.
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, celebrations and maybe a few tears of joy we take a few moments to enjoy this incredible accomplishment. We begin our steep descent down to Horombo Hut, stopping at Kibo Hut for lunch and a very brief rest. We strongly recommend gaiters and trekking poles for uncooperative loose gravel and volcano ash terrain.
DAY 6: HOROMBO HUT– MOSHI:
Elevation: 3721m/12,208ft to 1905m/6250ft
After breakfast and a heartfelt ceremony of appreciation and team bonding with your crew it’s time to say goodbye. As the weather is drastically warmer, the terrain is wet, muddy and steep and we highly recommend Gaiters and trekking poles. From the gate, a vehicle will meet you to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi (about 45 minutes).
