Itinerary
& Highlights |
| |
Day 1, Moshi
From Nairobi travel by shuttle bus to Moshi in Tanzania via Arusha. On arrival at your hotel our representative will give you a full briefing on what to expect over the next few days of trekking the highest mountain in Africa.
Day 2 - 6, Mt Kilimanjaro Trek
There are several hiking routes leading to the summit of Kilimanjaro and they are graded by difficulty. The most popular and the easiest is the 34km 5 - 6 day Marangu route on the east side of the mountain. This is the only route that provides comfortable sleeping huts, equipped with beds and mattresses, and a small shop at most campsites. The 6 - 7 day Machame Route is probably the most scenic route to the top but it's physically more challenging with longer and steeper day treks and accommodation is in tents. The Machame, Shira and Rongai routes are all one-way ascents and are even more challenging, though climbers descend using the Marangu route. On any of the routes, the last slog to the summit is hard and you make the final ascent just after midnight in subzero temperatures to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) for sunrise. At the top, exhaustion fades away as the sun rises over the 'Roof of Africa' and opens up to unbelievable views of the plains below, and you will feel a great sense of achievement. You'll feel on top of the world!
Day 6, Descent, Moshi
After the descent of the mountain, reach the the park gate, where successful climbers will collect their climb certificate, before returning to your hotel in Moshi for a well earned rest.
Day 7, Nairobi
Return to Nairobi where the tour ends.
Extra Acclimatisation Day
If you are unaccustomed to trekking at high altitudes it is recommended that you take an extra day to attempt the climb. |
