DAY 2 KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK – FIRST CAVE
It is a 4-5 hour transfer from Moshi to the attractive wooden village of Nale Muru at 1950m. After signing in and preparing the porters, you begin the hike on a wide path, which winds through fields of maize and potatoes, before entering pine forest. The path climbs 9km consistently through the attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 3 KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK – KIKELEWA CAMP
Todays walk is a steady ascent up to the Second Cave for lunch. Superb views of Kibo Crater and the eastern ice fields on the crater rim are to be had from here. We cover 17km today as we cross the moorland towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Kikelewa Camp is located at 3600m in a sheltered valley, there are giant Senecios nearby.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 4 KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK – MAWENZI TARN
A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb all-round views and a tangible sense of wilderness. Leave the vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at Mawenzi Tarn, spectacularly situated in a cirque directly beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding Mt Kilimanjaro to aid altitude acclimatisation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 5 KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK – KIBO CAMP
It is an 8km hike through the lunar desert of the 'Saddle' between Mawenzi and Kibo. The Kibo campsite is at 4695m, at the bottom of the Kibo Crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 6 UHURU PEAK (SUMMIT ATTEMPT) – HOROMBO CAMP
We begin the final, and by far the steepest, days hiking at 1am and climb by torchlight for the first part of the journey. We travel very slowly in the darkness as we are on a switchback trail over loose volcanic scree. When we reach the crater rim at Gillman's Point, 5685m, we enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three hour round trip to Uhuru Peak, passing close to spectacular glaciers, and ice cliffs. The 14km descent is surprisingly fast.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 7 MOSHI
It is a steady descent down through moorland to 2700m. We continue down through lush forest, on a good path to the NP gate at Marangu. If you conquered the summit you will receive your summit certificate at the gate. Green for Gilman’s Point and Gold for those that reached Uhuru Peak. Then, it’s back to Moshi for a hot shower and a well-deserved rest.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
