Our 5-day Marangu route itinerary is the perfect way to climb Kilimanjaro, even if you're a beginner hiker. This classic route offers stunning views and a high success rate.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our friendly team will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel for rest and acclimatization. Take this opportunity to relax and prepare for the upcoming adventure.
The journey begins at the Marangu Gate, where you'll complete necessary registrations and meet your expert guides and porters. Trek through the enchanting rainforest, adorned with diverse flora and fauna. After a steady ascent, arrive at Mandara Hut for an overnight stay.
Continuing through the rainforest, the trail will lead you to the heath and moorland zone. Marvel at the changing scenery as you ascend to Horombo Hut, nestled on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Here, you'll have magnificent views of Mawenzi Peak and the surrounding landscapes.
Acclimatization is crucial for a successful summit attempt. Spend an extra day at Horombo Hut to allow your body to adjust to the increasing altitude. You can take short hikes to Zebra Rocks or explore the surrounding areas to aid acclimatization.
The most challenging but rewarding day awaits as you begin the final ascent to Uhuru Peak. Start your hike in the early hours, navigating through rocky terrain and snowfields under the starlit sky. Reach the summit just in time for a breathtaking sunrise over the African plains. After celebrating your achievement, descend to Kibo Hut for a brief rest before proceeding to Horombo Hut for overnight.
This is the final leg of your journey. Descend through the rainforest, taking in the memories of the past few days. Arrive at Marangu Gate, where you'll bid farewell to your guides and porters. Receive your well-deserved Kilimanjaro climbing certificate before heading back to your hotel.
