Last updated: 2024 Jun 14Morning
Start your day early with a breakfast of champions, as you have a long day ahead of you. Meet with your guide and porters and begin your ascent up the mountain. Take the Marangu Route, which is the most popular and has the most amenities available. The first day of trekking is relatively easy, with a gentle incline through forests and past waterfalls.
Afternoon
Continue trekking through the forest and take in the sights and sounds of the wildlife around you. Reach the Mandara Hut, which is your accommodation for the night. Rest and recharge for the next day of trekking.
Morning
Wake up early and have breakfast before continuing your trek. This day is a bit more challenging, with steeper inclines and a longer distance to cover. The trail takes you through heathland and moorland, where you can see unique flora and fauna that are found only on the mountain.
Afternoon
Reach the Horombo Hut, which is your accommodation for the night. Take some time to rest and acclimatize to the altitude. You can also take a short hike to Zebra Rock, which is a unique rock formation that resembles a zebra.
Morning
After breakfast, continue your trek through alpine desert and rocky terrain. The trail is steep and challenging, but the views of the surrounding landscape are breathtaking. You will pass by the last water point, so make sure to refill your water bottles.
Afternoon
Reach the Kibo Hut, which is your accommodation for the night. Take some time to rest and prepare for your summit attempt. Your guide will go over the plan for the next day and give you tips on how to deal with the altitude.
Morning
Wake up at midnight and have a light breakfast before beginning your summit attempt. The trail is steep and rocky, and the altitude can make it challenging. However, the sense of accomplishment when you reach the summit is indescribable. Watch the sunrise over the African continent and take in the views of the surrounding landscape.
Afternoon
Begin your descent back down the mountain, stopping at the Kibo Hut for a short rest before continuing to the Horombo Hut, where you will spend the night.
Morning
After breakfast, continue your descent down the mountain. The trail is steep and can be hard on the knees, so take it slow and steady. Reach the Marangu Gate, where you will meet with your guide and porters one last time. Say goodbye to the mountain and head back to your hotel in Moshi for a well-deserved shower and rest.
Afternoon
Spend the rest of the day relaxing and reflecting on your journey. You can also visit the local market in Moshi and pick up some souvenirs to remember your trip.
