Itinerary
Day 1: Marangu gate to Rongai one
Pass By: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
After completing the necessary registration formalities at Marangu National Park gate, we transfer to Rongai. The climb begins from Nale Moru (1,950 m) on a small path that winds through fields of maize and potatoes before entering pine forest. 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 โcapeโ of white hair and a flowing white tail. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp, Rongai One, is at the edge of the moorland zone (2,600 m) with extensive views over the Kenyan plains. [3-4 hours walking]
Meals included:
โข Breakfast
โข Lunch
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Rongai one
Day 2: rongai one to Kikelewa campsite
Pass By: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
The morning walk is a steady ascent up to the โSecond Caveโ (3,450 m) with superb views of Kibo and the Eastern icefields 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. Kikelewa campsite is in a sheltered valley with giant senecios near Kikelewa Caves (3,600 m) [6-7 hours walking]
Meals included:
โข Breakfast
โข Lunch
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Kikelewa Campsite
Day 3: Kikelewa to Mawenzi Turn
Pass By: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
A short but steep climb is rewarded by superb allround 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 acclimatisation. [3-4 hours walking]
Meals included:
โข Breakfast
โข Lunch
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Mawenzi Tarn
Day 4: Mawenzi Turn to Kibo Campsite
Pass By: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
We cross the lunar desert of the โSaddleโ between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach Kibo campsite (4,700 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! [5-6 hours walking]
Meals included:
โข Breakfast
โข Lunch
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Kibo Campsite
Day 5: Kibo to Horombo camp
Pass By: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
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 Gillmanโs 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 Horombo Camp (3,720 m). [11-15 hours walking]
Meals included:
โข Breakfast
โข Lunch
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Horombo Camp
Day 6: Horombo to Marangu Gate
