8 DAYS :: IMAGINATIVE TRAVELLER'S
"KILIMANJARO TREK"
|
 The Marangu Route is approx. 80 kms long, and is one of the most
popular routes up the mountain. We trek through beautiful rainforest
and skirt the base of Maundi Crater before emerging into grassland.
There is a demanding climb to the summit but the views are
breathtaking. Accommodation is in communal huts and our guides and
porters take care of us including cooking all our meals.
ITINERARY:
Day 1, NAIROBI - MOSHI Depart Nairobi early morning by public shuttle
bus across the Tanzanian border to Moshi, arriving in the afternoon. There will
be a briefing on our trek this evening. (D)
Day 2, KILI TREK - MANDARA (2725m) After breakfast transfer to Marangu
Gate. Commence trekking, through beautiful rainforest to Mandara Hut. (BLD)
Day 3, HOROMBO HUT (3700m) Continue our climb to Horombo Hut. Leaving
the rainforest, the vegetation will change to stunted clumps of heather,
'everlasting' flowers and short tussock grasses. (BLD)
Day 4, HOROMBO A day for acclimatisation with a walk to Point Mawenzi
(4600m). Return to Horombo Hut for the night. (BLD)
Day 5, KIBO HUT (4700m) Set off early and continue up to the dry and
rugged saddle area between the peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. Overnight at Kibo
Hut. (BLD)
Day 6, UHURU PEAK (5895m) The final ascent starts around midnight or
the early hours of the morning. The most demanding ascent of the trek is the
slow walk up increasingly steep scree to Gillman's Point (5690m). Then
continue to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. A spectacular sunrise
with Africa laid out at our feet will make all the hard work worthwhile!
Descend to Horombo Hut for a well earned rest.
(BLD)
Day 7, MOSHI Descend to the park gate and transfer to our Moshi hotel
for the night. (BLD)
Day 8, MOSHI TO NAIROBI Morning public shuttle bus to Nairobi, arriving
