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.

 Leave Horombo Hut 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.

Around midnight, awake for the final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the roof  of Africa. The hike begins with a demanding five hour hike to Gillman's  Point on the crater rim. Although this is considered to be the easiest  of the three crater ascent paths, it is still extremely difficult. The  first major rest stop, William's Point, lies at 5000 meters and is  approximately a two hour hike Kibo Hut. Continue on for thirty minutes  before beginning the rocky switchbacks that will continue to Gillman's  Point (5,681 meters).

The hike from Gilman's to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb and as  far as hikes go, not very difficult. The altitude, however, makes the  hike long and tiring. The crater rim hike takes approximately two hours.  Upon reaching Uhuru, take photos of your guide and group at the peak  before beginning the descent to Horombo Hut. On the way down from the  summit, you will see all of the magnificent views you could not see on  the way up. Stop for a short break and snacks at Kibo Hut before  continuing on to Horombo Hut. Reach Horombo Hut in the afternoon and  enjoy your last night on the mountain.

 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 Champaigne/Kilimanjaro Beer  Celebrations.
