Kilimanjaro: 6-Day Marangu Route Trek with Accommodation

Embark on a 6-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on the Marangu Route. Stay in budget mountain huts along the way and enjoy meals and drinking water.
Day 1:

Breakfast at hotel and we drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. Once the necessary paperwork has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest.

Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of the black and white colobus monkeys. Approximately 4 hours later, you will reach your destination of the day – the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior.

Day 2:

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 3,700 m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo, and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.

Day 3:

Today serves as an acclimatization day. This should not be underestimated and greatly improves your chance of success in reaching the summit. After a relaxing breakfast, a 4-5 hour trek follows to the Zebra Rocks (4,020 m). The distinctive black and white stripes give the rock formation its name. On your return to Horombo Hut, a warm lunch will be waiting for you. You can relax in the afternoon and regain your strength for the hike the following day.

Day 4:

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.

Day 5:

Today is “The Big Day” – the summit stage. The mountain guide will wake you up at 23:00 hrs and an hour later, you will begin the long and strenuous trek to the summit. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5, 220 m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5, 681 m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land.

You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 – 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5, 895 m. At peak, you can celebrate your accomplishment of reaching the “Roof of Africa”. You will once again be on your way hiking to the Horombo Hut (3, 700 m) for our stay.

Day 6:

The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2, 700 m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1, 860 m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides and porters, a transfer follows to take you back to Moshi or Arusha.
