      From the Mandara Huts, the trail passes through a short stretch of forest and skirts the base of Maundi Crater, crosses a meadow and a wooded stream, then emerges into grassland. It is well worth the short detour to scramble up to the rim of Maundi Crater for a superb view of the mountain and its surroundings. The trail descends numerous moorland, ravies before ending at Horombo Hut, which is set in a rocky valley with a fine stand of giant groundsels (Senecio kilimajari) and phallic lobelias deckenii.

      Today is a very important day as your body shall get use to the high altitude for a successful summit climb. After breakfast the guide shall take you to climb high to the Zebra rock 4100m or Saddle point 4200m and sleep low at 3720m back to Horombo Hut for lunch, dinner and overnight


      Keep in mind to sip water all the time during the trek and walk slowly as they say in Kiswahili POLE POLE and its the magic word for success to the summit.

      Day 4: Horombo Hut 3720M To Kibo Hut 4700M

      After breakfast you shall ascend the alpine desert and it shall be a very tiring trek therefore it is very much essential that you walk slowly โ€“POLE POLE- not forgetting to drink enough water on the way so as to increase the level of oxygen in your body at the high altitude. From Horombo Hut there are two trails to the Saddle (the area between Kibo and Mawenzi which is almost 7kms). The right fork is very stony and eroded and is the most direct route to the Saddle and Mawenzi. From the Saddle (about 2hours from Horombo), there are trails to Mawenzi Hut (1hour) or Mawenzi Tarn Hut (2hours) and across the length of the Saddle to Kibo Hut (3hours). The left fork from Horombo Hut is an easier trail and emerges on the Saddle much closer and passing THE LAST WATER POINT AT 4130M to Kibo and about 1km from Kibo Hut. The landscape now becomes rockier and rugged until the Saddle is reached. At Kibo Hut you shall get ready for your final preparations for the summit climb at midnight to take as much rest as possible before the midnight summit attempt.

      Day 5: Kibo Hut 4700 To Summit Uhuru Peak 5895 To Horombo Hut 3720

      The trail to the summit lies directly behind Kibo Hut, to the west. It is normal to start this dayโ€™s climb at midnight. (The reason for this is to see the sun rise over Mawenzi from the top of Kibo, the loose stone scree is frozen โ€“making it easier to climb, and you can get back in good time). The first part is an uneven trail, which leads to the Hans Meyer Cave at 5150m, a good rest point. After that, the trail makes more regular switch backs most of the way to the top, with a last scramble over rocks to Johannes Notch and Gillmanโ€™s Point 5681m at the crater rim where you need all your mental and physical strength as it is the steepest section of your trek. From there, the trail continues past Stella Point to Uhuru Peak at 5895m the highest point of Africa. At the top there are stunning views of the ice walls offset by rugged rocks. After a fast descend to Kibo Hut for a meal and rest, continue to descend to Horombo Hut.
