      Day 2

      After breakfast, we will transfer you to Rongai gate passing the wooden village on a path that winds through fields of maize and potatoes before reaching the entrance gate, The Rongai Gate. The climb begins from Rongai gate (2,150 m) The track then starts to climb consistently, but gently through attractive  forest that shelters a variety of wildlife, including the beautiful Kilimanjaro Colobus monkey. These monkeys are black with a long โ€˜capeโ€™ of white hair and a flowing white tail. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone(2,600 m.) with extensive views over the Kenyan plains. [1h30-2h30 hours walking]


  • Day 3 Day 3
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3

      The morning walk is a steady ascent up to the โ€˜Second Caveโ€™ (3,450 m.) with superb views of Kibo and the Eastern ice fields on the crater rim. After lunch, we leave the main trail and strike out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our campsite is in a sheltered valley with giant views near Kikelewa Caves (3.600 m.). Alternatively to the third camp based on your program. [6-7 hours walking]

  • Day 4 Day 4
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4

      A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb all-around views and a tangible sense of wilderness. We leave vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at Mawenzi Tarn (4,330 m.), spectacularly situated in a cirque directly beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatization. [3-4 hours walking]


  • Day 5 Day 5
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5

      We cross the lunar desert of the โ€˜Saddleโ€™ between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach School campsite (4,750 m.) at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent before a very early night! [4-5 hours walking]


  • Day 6 Day 6
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6

      We will start the final and by far the steepest and most demanding, part of the climb by torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod very slowly in the darkness on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillmanโ€™s Point (5,685 m.) We will rest there for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m.), passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo (4,700 m.) is surprisingly fast and, after some refreshment, we continue the descent to reach our final campsite at Horombo (3,720 m.). [11-15 hours walking] 


  • Day 7 Day 7
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7

      Wake at around midnight to a light breakfast, and then prepare for the summit ascent. This part of the hike is carried out during the early morning before dawn so that the climbers reach Uhuru Peak at around sunrise. Leave at about 1:00am and reach Gilmanโ€™s Point 5685m at about 7:00am. The climbers are met with views of the crater from Gilmanโ€™s Point because it is on the Crater Rim. Another 2 hours of hiking brings the climber to Uhuru Peak, the summit. From there you will descend back to Kibo Hut 4720m, collect your things and cross the saddle again at Horombo Hut(3720m) where you will spend the night. Enjoy dinner and get some well-deserved sleep.
