Reach for the skies, and climb to the summit of the world's tallest free-standing mountain and the highest point on the African Continent! Are you ready for the challenge?
Welcome to Tanzania! Arrival transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport to the hotel. The remains of the day is at leisure, to rest and relax before we start our trek in the morning. Overnight - Marangu Hotel
Day 2: Mandara Hut (2745m)
At 5895m above sea level, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and majestically straddles the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Climbing to the top of this dormant volcano is one of Africa’s most exhilarating
experiences and today we rise to the challenge. An early start takes us to Kilimanjaro National Park, where we begin our trek through beautiful rainforests on our way up to Mandara Hut, our resting place for the night. Overnight - Mandara Hut (B, L, D)

Day 3: Horombo Hut (3760m)
After breakfast we continue our trek across stunning open rolling moorland. The altitude begins to make itself felt so a slow and steady pace is required. Enjoy the flora and the imposing Giant Senecios that stand tall along the path. Some great photo opportunities are to be had. Later we arrive at Horombo Hut where we spend the night. If you wish to have an extra day
to acclimatise to the altitude, it will be here at the Horombo Hut. Overnight - Horombo Hut (B, L, D)
Day 4: Kibo Hut (4701m)
After a good night’s rest, the trek continues over the ‘saddle’ - a broad desert zone between Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks. This is the final stage before the challenging summit ascent tomorrow. Overnight - Kibo Hut (B, L, D)
Day 5: The Summit (5895m)
Very early this morning, the ascent continues up a steep scree slope to Gilman’s Point (5700m), on the rim of the crater and up to Uhuru Peak. When you spot the ‘Congratulations!’ sign you’ve made it to the ‘roof of
Africa.’ Absorb the magnificent views across Tanzania and Kenya. Leaving the summit, it’s all downhill from here back to Kibo Hut for lunch and Horombo Hut for perhaps a low-key celebration and a definite good
night’s rest! Overnight - Horombo Hut (B, L, D)
Day 6: The Summit! (5895m)
Today is the final day of our trek as we make our final descent to Marangu gate and park headquarters. At Marangu gate we sign our names and successful climbers receive their certificates. We meet our driver
guide with a packed lunch and drive back to the hotel to take a hot shower and celebrate. Evening is spent at leisure. Overnight - Marangu Hotel (B, L)
Day 7: Moshi
After breakfast we depart the hotel and transfer back to Kilimanjaro Airport for onward flights. (B)
Details About The Climb
Grade: Strenuous Route: Marangu Walking: 5 hours daily Altitude: Max 5895m Group size: 1 - 15
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is challenging but highly rewarding! We take the Marangu route up Kili, which is the classic and most straight forward way up to the summit, staying in basic but comfortable mountain huts as opposed to camping.
An additional acclimatisation day at Horombo Hut can be arranged upon request, please refer to the Go Guide or contact us for further details. This should be booked in advance and is payable locally.
Should you wish to take another route up the mountain, such as the Machame Route, please contact us and we will be happy to provide a quote and organise this for you.

Mt Kilimanjaro Climb - 7 days
Hi Kelly,
Just letting you know that I am really happy with my Kilimanjaro climb trip from the 1st-9th September. It was an exhilarating experience. My guide, Victor Martin, did an exceptional job and made sure I successfully conquered Kili in time to see a spectacular sunrise from the summit!!
Thank you so much to On The Go Tours and Zara for this incredible time in Africa.

A trip of a lifetime that makes you appreciate the magnitude of altitude!!
