your hotel to our office were you will have
briefing about daily routine during your trek
and there after we depart Arusha town for

registration formalities at Marangu National
Park gate, short drive to Rongai.
The climb begins from the attractive wooden
village of Nale Moru (1,950m.) on a small path
that winds through fields of maize and potatoes
before entering pine forest.
The track then starts to climb consistently, but
gently through attractive forest that shelters a
variety of wildlife, including the beautiful
Kilimanjaro Colobus monkey.
These monkeys are black with a long ‘cape’ of
white hair and a flowing white tail. The forest
begins to thin out and the first camp is at the
edge of the moorland zone (2,600 m.) with
extensive views over the Kenyan Masai plains.
(3-4 hours walking).
Day 2: KIKELEWA CAVES
The morning walk is a steady ascent up to the
‘Second Cave’ (3,450 m.) with superb views of
Kibo and the Eastern icefields on the crater
rim. After lunch, we leave the main trail and
strike out across the moorland on a smaller path
towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Walk to our
campsite for overnight camping near Kikelewa
Caves (3.600 m.) (Estimated 6 to 7 walking
hours).
Day 3: MAWENZI TARN CAMP

sense of wilderness. We leave vegetation behind

cirque directly beneath the towering spires of
Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or
explore the surrounding area as an aid to
acclimatisation. (Estimated 3-4 hours walking).
Day 4: SCHOOL CAMP
We cross the lunar desert of the ‘Saddle’
between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach School
campsite (4,750 m.) at the bottom of the Kibo
crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent
resting in preparation for the final ascent
before a very early night! (Estimated 4-5 hours
walking).
Day 5: HOROMBO CAMP
We will start the final, and by far the steepest
and most demanding, part of the climb by
torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod very slowly in
the darkness on a switchback trail through loose
volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at
Gillman’s Point (5,685 m.) We will rest there
for a short time to enjoy the spectacular
sunrise over Mawenzi.
Those who are still feeling strong can make the
three hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m.),
passing close to the spectacular glaciers and
ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit
area. The descent to Kibo (4,700 m.) is
surprisingly fast and, after some refreshment,
we continue the descent to reach our final
campsite at Horombo (3,720 m.). (Estimated 11-15
hours walking).
Day 6: MANDARA HUT – MARANGU GATE
A steady descent takes us down through moorland
