About This Activity

Join a 5-day group climb on the famous Marangu Route, one of the most popular paths to Mount Kilimanjaro’s Uhuru Peak (5,895m). The journey begins at Marangu Gate, where you enter lush rainforest filled with monkeys, birds, and rich vegetation. You hike to Mandara Hut on the first day, then continue through heather and moorland zones to Horombo Hut, with stunning views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. Day three is for acclimatization at Horombo Hut to help your body adjust to the altitude. On day four, you ascend to Kibo Hut, preparing for your midnight summit attempt. The final push begins before sunrise, climbing through darkness and glaciers to reach Uhuru Peak—the Roof of Africa—just in time for a breathtaking sunrise. After celebrating your Christmas summit, you descend back through Horombo and Mandara huts to Marangu Gate, where your unforgettable Kilimanjaro adventure ends.
