Wake To A 7:30 AM Breakfast, And Pack For Your Next Trek. Break Camp By 8:30 AM, Hike For An Hour Through Rainforest Glades, Then Follow An Ascending Path Through Heath Land Where You Can Look For Giant Lobelias And Groundsels. Go on Up Into Open Moorlands Where Small Shrubs Are The Main Vegetation. Stop Halfway For Lunch, Where You Can Enjoy Amazing Views Of Mawenzi. Show up At The Horombo Huts By 3 PM, Where You Can See Kibos Summit. Rest, Unpack, And Prepare For Dinner. Restrooms With Running Water Are Available. You May Start To Feel The Effects Of Altitude Here, And To Aid Your Acclimatization, You Can Choose To Spend An Extra Day Resting At Horombo Or Climbing To A Base Camp Below Kibos Sub Peak Mawenzi.

Wake To Breakfast As Usual, But If You Wake Early You Can Get Some Great Photos Of The Sunrise. The First Part Of The Days Hike Climbs Through The Dwindling Heath Land That Blends Into A Moonscape As You Enter The Sweeping Saddle Connecting Mawenzi And Kibo. At the point when You 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. Be Careful To Notice Any Signs Of Altitude Sickness. There Is No Running Water At The Kibo Huts.

High Desert Wake At Midnight To A Light Breakfast, And Then Prepare For Your Summit Ascent. The Goal Is To Climb Before Dawn So That You Can Reach Uhuru Peak Shortly After Sunrise. Leave At 1 AM, Switchback Up Steep Scree Or Possibly Snow, And Reach Gilmans Point On The Crater Rim At 5,861 M/18,640 Ft Between 5 And 7 AM. Here, Views Of The Fabled Crater And Its Icecaps Greet You. An additional 2 Hours Of Hiking Along The Crater Rim Near The Celebrated Snows Takes You To Kilimanjaro True Summit, Uhuru Peak, By 9 AM. This Is Africas Highest Point, And You Would Have To Travel More Than 3,000 Miles Toward The Himalayas To Find A Higher Peak! Make certain To Have Your Picture Taken At The Summit To Show Your Friends. After Your Summit Stay, Descend Back To The Kibo Huts, Have Lunch, Rest, Collect Your Things, And Re Cross The Saddle To The Horombo Huts. Have Dinner And Get Some Well-Deserved Sleep! You Do The Beginning Of This Climb In The Dark With Headlamps Or Flashlights. It Will Be Very Cold Until You Start Descending, So You Will Need All Of Your Warm Layers. This Is, By Far, The Most Difficult Part Of The Trek. Gradually Slowly, Or, Pole, And An Optimistic Attitude Will Get You There!

Wake As Usual, Pack, And Descend Through The Moorland To The Mandara Huts. Eat There Then Continue Your Triumphant Recessional Down Through Lush Forest To The Park Gate, Which You Should Reach Around 2 Or 3 PM. Make sure To Tip Your Guides, Cooks, And Porters, Since You Will Be Leaving Them Here. A Vehicle Will Take You Back To Your Hotel In Moshi, Where It Is Definitely Time For Celebration!
