After breakfast, leave Mandara Hut and Kilimanjaro's   forests for Horombo Hut. Most of the day's hike will be through Kilimanjaro's   moorland, a rocky landscape with desert-like plants. Eat a picnic lunch at   Kambi ya Taabu before continuing to Horombo Hut. If the weather is clear,   enjoy beautiful views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks.

Arrive at Horombo Hut at around 3pm and spend the rest   of the afternoon relaxing. Although extremely busy, the Horombo Huts are   considered to be the nicest on Kilimanjaro. The small, A-frame buildings can   accommodate up to eight people each and provide lodging for hikers ascending,   descending and acclimatizing. Horombo can accommodate up to one hundred   hikers and many more porters, cooks and guides

 Day three is an acclimatization day. We suggest hiking all the way to Mawenzi Hut to allow for maximum acclimatization. The hike will increase your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak, and also reward you with magnificent views of Kibo. Return to Horombo for a late lunch. Spend the afternoon and evening relaxing at Horombo 

After   breakfast to hike through the moorland and alpine desert of Kilimanjaro's   upper altitudes. After hiking for about an hour arrive at Maua River, a small   mountain stream. After Maua, the terrain becomes flatter and the vegetation   begins to disappear. Break for lunch at Middle Red Hill. After lunch,   continue on a steady incline for another two hours through Kilimanjaro's   Saddle. Although the environment on the way to Kibo is a bleak desert with   little vegetation, you will see many stunning views of Kibo and Mawenzi   peaks. Reach Kibo Hut around 3pm to rest and prepare for your midnight climb.

The push for the   final ascent to Uhuru Peak! You will be woken at around 11:30pm to make a   start just after midnight. This is where your grit and determination will be   called upon but your reward is possibly the most amazing sunrise, you’ll ever   see on the horizon behind Mawenzi.

You’ll probably be around Gilman’s Point   (5685m) at this time so it’s time for a much-needed breather before walking   around the top of the crater rim, passing Stella Point and finally reaching   Uhuru. Take some time to enjoy the views of the crater and glaciers then   you’ll retrace your steps back to Kibo for breakfast and a rest. You’ll then   descend back down to Horombo hut which will feel oxygen rich after the summit   and a long night’s sleep  

After breakfast, finish the trek with a descent to Marangu Gate. Your last hike on Kilimanjaro is a beautiful one, passing through Kilimanjaro's cloud forest. Watch your step during the descent, as the trail can be slippery. Our vehicles will be waiting at Marangu Gate to take you back to Moshi for Hot shower and Champaign /Kilimanjaro
