Day 2:Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut The first part of the walk is a steep ascent through the forest, but the path soon opens out into grassy moorland and in clear weather, there are good views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. We climb steadily through the moorland zone, containing giant heather and occasional stands of groundsel, to eventually reach Horombo Hut (3,720 m.). Sunrises and sunsets here are often very stunning, the site is close to the glaciated dome of Kibo, and there is a real sense of being above the clouds.[Walking from Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut takes 4-6 hours] Distance covered: 12.5km / 7.8m Approx. time taken: 9 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 3: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut We ascend very gradually as we approach the Saddle, a lunar desert located between Mawenzi and Kibo. Screed dominates the landscape, and a sense of the remote high altitude wildness is apparent. By midday, we normally arrive at Kibo Hut (4,700 m), which lies at the base of the crater wall, and the afternoon is free (to plan the summit ascent!). Resting and eating are done for the rest of the day in order to be ready for the last ascent and an early night! [Walking from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut takes 4-5 hours] Distance covered: 9.5km / 5.9mi Approx. time taken: 7 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 4: Summit Day then down to Horombo Hut Around one in the morning, we will begin our trek by torchlight so that we can arrive at Gillman's Point in time for daybreak. We will reach Gillman's (5,685 m.) in about five or six hours if we move slowly but steadily. The early ascent is steep over loose volcanic screen, but there are several well-graded zigzags. There, we'll take a break and enjoy the sunrise for a while. Those who are still in good shape can make the three-hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m) from here while passing close to the breathtaking glaciers that still cover the majority of the summit area. We unexpectedly make a quick descent and get back to Horombo Hut for the evening. [11–15 walking hours from Kibo Hut to Gillman’s Point] Distance covered: 22km / 13.7mi Approx. time taken: 12 – 15 hours Meals: Breakfast & Lunch Included

Day 5: Horombo Hut – Moshi After breakfast, we will start with a pleasant moorland walk to Mandara and then a lovely forest walk to the National Park gates to Moshi town. Our 5 days Kilimanjaro climbing Marangu route come to a close at this point. Distance covered: 20.8km / 12.9m Approx. time taken: 8 hours Meals: Breakfast & Lunch Included
