Explore the 5 days Marangu Route

You will have a chance to familiarize yourself with your guides, chefs, and porters before departing the hotel in Arusha. You will begin your journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro after completing the gate registration.
A great length of the hike is spent venturing on a narrow trail that is enclosed by the evergreen rain forest. Reaching Kisambioni is a milestone as it signifies that we are at the halfway point of the trek. We will sit down and enjoy a picnic lunch. We will continue walking through the rain forests of Kilimanjaro after lunch.
Our final destination is the Mandara Hut. Once we arrive you can decide whether you want to relax for the rest of the day or take a stroll to the Maundi Crater. If you face the northwest you will see the striking Mawenzi Peak which resembles a crown in the sky with its prickly edges.
Turn to the east and you will see the picturesque landscapes of Taveta. Visiting on a day with clear skies will ensure that you get maximum viewing pleasure.
You will spend the night in the A-frame Mandara Huts which accommodate up to seventy people and feature beds with mattresses.
There are several sleeping huts and a dining area.

We will start heading towards Horombo Hut after breakfast. The environment will shift drastically as the 5 Days Marangu Route requires us to travel through Mount Kilimanjaro's moorland, a rock-strewn desert plain with succulent plants.
There will be a picnic lunch at Kambi ya Taabu during the hike. If the skies are clear you will have a chance to witness the scenic views of the Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. We will arrive at the Horombo Huts at approximately 3:00 pm and the afternoon can be spent relaxing.
The Horombo Huts are exceptionally busy but they're considered to be the finest huts on Mount Kilimanjaro. The little, A-frame huts can house a maximum of eight people and provide suitable lodging for hikers ascending, descending, and acclimation.
They can accommodate a maximum of 120 hikers with additional room for porters, chefs, and guides.

After breakfast, we will hike through the moorland and the alpine desert region of Mount Kilimanjaro. After hiking for about an hour we will encounter a small mountain stream called the Maua River. Once you pass Maua you will notice that the terrain gets smoother and the vegetation starts to diminish.
We will have an appetizing lunch at the Middle Red Hill. We will continue our trek shortly after lunch and spend the next four hours traveling to Kibo on a steady
incline through Mount Kilimanjaro's Saddle. The silver lining to traveling through a baron dessert is the breathtakingly stunning vista of the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks.
You will reach the Kibo hut in the afternoon. It is recommended that you rest and prepare for your midnight climb.

We will finish the trek by descending to the Marangu Gate after breakfast. The final hike is simply magical. You will hike amid the gods in Mount Kilimanjaro's tranquil cloud forest. We advise that you watch your step as the trail can be fairly slippery. Our vehicles will be waiting at Marangu Gate to drive you back to Arusha. You will have an opportunity to buy sodas and souvenirs to prove that the 5 Days Marangu Route was conquered you can exceed your Tanzania stay by witnessing Big 5 in Tanzania National Parks for Wildlife Safari.
