MOSHI - MARANGU GATE – KILEMA GATE – HOROMBO HUT

Kilimanjaro National Park - Meet the guide and begin the transfer to the Marangu Gate, a journey of approximately 45 minutes. The route passes through the village of Marangu, situated on the lower slopes of the mountain. Upon arrival at the park gate, all hikers must register at the Park office. After signing in at the Marangu gate, the journey continues to the Kilema gate. Upon arrival, ensure all day-pack items are ready (including drinking water, lunch pack, and extra clothing) and perform a final check on the mountain bike.

The first route section is 16km, starting from the Kilema gate (1,950m) to the Horombo hut (3,705m), with the guide also on a mountain bike. It’s crucial to remember that the primary cause of altitude sickness is ascending too quickly. Regular stops will be made to allow the body to acclimatize to the higher altitudes. The aim is to reach Horombo hut by around 15:00.

FULL DAY HOROMBO ACCLIMATIZATION (Horombo Hut – Mawenzi Hut – Back To Horombo Hut)

Kilimanjaro National Park - After breakfast, begin cycling through the Alpine desert, with some areas featuring small stones, up to Mawenzi hut and back to Horombo hut. Today involves 90% cycling on “Alpine desert vegetation,” covering a distance of 10 kilometers.

HOROMBO HUT - KIBO HUT

Kilimanjaro National Park - Wake up early and ensure duffel bags are packed. After breakfast, meet the guide and head back up to Kibo hut. The first 3km, followed by the final 7km to Kibo hut, offers a good biking trail. Lunch will be provided, followed by rest. At around 16:00, depending on how you feel, it is possible to hike partially up the summit path to familiarize yourself for the summit attempt later that night. Kibo hut, located in the barren Alpine desert, is a stone-built block house with bunk beds for 60 climbers. The summit (Uhuru Peak) is an additional 1,195m up, and the final ascent will be made the same night. Prepare equipment, thermal clothing, etc., for the summit. This should include replacing headlamp and camera batteries and ensuring a spare set is available. To prevent freezing, it is advisable for Summit Porters or the Guide to carry water in a thermal flask. Go to bed around 19:00 and rest until 22:00.

KIBO HUT - UHURU PEAK (SUMMIT) THEN RIDE DOWN TO HOROMBO HUT

Kilimanjaro National Park - At 4 am, guides will wake you to begin the zigzag trek up the long scree slope. After approximately two hours, Hans Meyer’s Cave will be reached, and from there, the gradient becomes steeper. Continue climbing for about another three hours to Gilman’s Point, where the bike will be taken from Porters to start riding to Uhuru peak. Upon arrival at Uhuru peak, spend a few minutes taking photos, then ride down to Stella Point. After lunch, ride down to Horombo. Today’s cycling from Kibo to Uhuru and then Kibo involves 15% to 20% vegetation in the alpine desert, and from Kibo to Horombo, it is 100% “Alpine desert vegetation/Icecap.”
