Itinerary of your trip 7 Days Kilimanjaro Trek - Rongai Route

  • Day 1 Trekking From Nalemuru Gate To Simba Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trekking From Nalemuru Gate To Simba Camp

      You will meet your mountain guides and crew in the morning before setting out for Kilimanjaro National Parkโ€™s northern entrance: Nalemuru Gate (2,020 m). Here, the head guide will acquire the necessary permits and finalize search and rescue registration. This dayโ€™s trek through the coniferous forest of Kilimanjaroโ€™s northern slope to Simba Camp is moderate, taking you up to 2,625 m. Remember not to hurry and maintain a comfortable pace. By the time you reach the camp, our professional mountain crew will have pitched your tents and started dinner preparations.

  • Day 2 Trekking From Simba Camp To Second Cave Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trekking From Simba Camp To Second Cave Camp

      Early in the morning after breakfast, the group will depart from Simba Camp to start trekking towards your second high-altitude camp: Second Cave Camp (3,480 m). This route is rather easy and will only take around 3 hours, so when you reach the camp you will still have ample time to rest and explore the surrounding area. After lunch, you will have a couple of hours to rest, followed by an acclimatization hike in the direction of Kikilelwa Camp (3,630 m) on a stretch of the Rongai Route at a short distance with a 100-meter gain in altitude, after which you will hike back down to Second Cave Camp

  • Day 3 Trekking From Second Cave Camp To Kikelelwa Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trekking From Second Cave Camp To Kikelelwa Camp

      After breakfast, you will begin trekking to Kikelelwa Camp (3,630 m), where you can see Kibo Volcano at its finest (barring cloudy weather). This will be a relief day, so after lunch, you will have time to sleep before the next trekking towards Mawenzi Tarn Camp. In the evening after dinner, the guide will check the health conditions of each person in the group and give the necessary instructions for tomorrowโ€™s trekking.

  • Day 4 Trekking From Kikelelwa Camp To Mawenzi Tarn Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trekking From Kikelelwa Camp To Mawenzi Tarn Camp

      Early wakeup, breakfast and the start of trekking to Mawenzi Tarn Camp, which is situated at the foot of Mawenzi Volcano, Kilimanjaroโ€™s second summit. When you reach the camp, you will have lunch and a two-hour rest, after which there will be an acclimatization hike towards Mawenzi Volcano with a 200-meter gain in altitude, followed by a hike back down to Mawenzi Tarn Camp, where you will have dinner in the evening.

  • Day 5 Trekking From Mawenzi Tarn Camp To Kibo Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trekking From Mawenzi Tarn Camp To Kibo Camp

      This day will be spent trekking toward Kibo Summit Camp (4,700 m). The landscape will change significantly to give way to a rocky semi-desert. The actual trekking is not very difficult; just remember to stick with an appropriate pace to keep up your strength for the trekking to Kilimanjaroโ€™s summit. When you reach the camp, we recommend you sleep well, avoid strenuous activity, and drink as much as you can, because that very night you will be ascending Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).

  • Day 6 Uhuru Peak Summit Attempt And Descent To Horombo Hut
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Uhuru Peak Summit Attempt And Descent To Horombo Hut

      The team will depart School Hut Camp with its elevation of 4,715 m at night. The trek up to Uhuru Peakโ€™s 5,895 m puts more of a strain on your cardiovascular system than your muscles as the high altitude takes its toll on your body despite the moderate gradient of the climb. One guide will be assigned to every two climbers, constantly evaluating their fitness throughout this part of the climb. A walk on the nearest glacier can be undertaken upon reaching the summit. The descent to 3,720 m at Horombo Camp will include a 2-hour rest stop at Kibo Camp. It is highly advisable to keep in mind that 9 out of 10 climbing accidents happen on the way down, so watch your step!

  • Day 7 Final Descent To Marangu Gate
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Final Descent To Marangu Gate

      The final descent to Marangu Gateโ€™s 1,860 m starts after breakfast. The stop at the gate presents a good opportunity for the last exchange of impressions and memories of the expedition with the whole of your support crew. The climbers will receive their certificates of achievement at our offices before being driven back to their hotel.
