<p>Our experienced guide will pick you up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your arranged hotel in Arusha.</p>
<p>Starting your first full day, you will spend exploring the Arusha National Park.</p> <p>Set between the towering peaks of Mount Meru (4,566 m) and Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the park has a varied landscape ranging from the lush swamps and mixed woodlands of the Ngurdoto Crater, soda and fresh water of Momela Lakes, to open savanna.</p> <p>The park is especially noted for the large concentration of unusually tame Masai Giraffes, but the forested rim of the Ngurdoto Crater is a good vantage point to see other mammals grazing on the crater floor, including African Buffaloes, Thompson’s Gazelle, Common Zebra and African Elephants.</p> <p>In the forest, we are likely to see Bushbuck, Harvey’s Duiker, the photogenic Blue Monkey and the Black-and-white Colobus Monkey foraging in the tree-tops. Lesser Flamingos abound in the alkaline Momella Lakes.</p> <p>• Main destination: Arusha town</p> <p>• Accommodation: Gold Crest Hotel</p>
<p>After breakfast, you will be collected from your lodge in Moshi and taken to the Marangu gate (1860m).</p> <p>Once the necessary paper work has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest.</p> <p>Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of some primates as you head to the Mandara Hut (2700m).</p> <p>After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior.</p> <p>• Distance covered: 8.3km / 5.2mi</p> <p>• Approx. time taken: 5 hours</p>

<p>The day begins with an early breakfast.</p> <p>Shortly after you have leave Mandara Hut (2700m), you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone.</p> <p>Approximately 4 – 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700m.</p> <p>From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.</p> <p>• Distance covered: 12.5km / 7.8mi</p> <p>• Approx. time taken: 9 hours</p>
<p>Today serves as an acclimatization day. This should not be underestimated and greatly improves your chance of success in reaching the summit.</p> <p>After a relaxing breakfast, a 4-hour trek follows to the Zebra Rocks (4020m). The distinctive black and white stripes give the rock formation its name.</p> <p>On your return to Horombo Hut, a warm lunch will be waiting for you.</p> <p>You can relax in the afternoon and regain your strength for the hike the following day.</p> <p>• Distance covered: 5km / 3.1mi</p> <p>• Approx. time taken: 4 hours</p>
<p>Today’s stage is long and tough.</p> <p>The well-built trail passes the “Last Water point” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi.</p> <p>Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut (4700m) that is usually reached in about 5 - 6 hours.</p> <p>Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.</p> <p>• Distance covered: 9.5km / 5.9mi</p> <p>• Approx. time taken: 7 hours</p>
<p>Today is “The Big Day” - the summit stage.</p> <p>You will begin your final ascent around midnight which will be long and strenuous.</p> <p>Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards.</p> <p>At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land.</p> <p>You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 - 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m.</p> <p>On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you followed by a 1 - 2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.</p> <p>• Distance covered: 22km / 13.7mi</p> <p>• Approx. time taken: 9 – 10 hours</p>
<p>The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you.</p> <p>Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m) saying goodbye to your mountain crew.</p> <p>Once there, you can take a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of the Kilimanjaro.</p> <p>• Main destination: Arusha Town</p> <p>• Accommodation: Gold Crest Hotel</p>
