Day 5: Horombo & Kibo Huts

Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Waterpoint” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation-less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut, which is usually reached in about 5-6 hours. Here you will enjoy an evening meal followed by an early night to prepare for a night wake-up.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6: Kibo Hut, Uhuru Peak & Horombo Hut

Today is Summit day! This begins at night because the lava ash is still frozen making the ascent easier. Your guide wakes you around 11 pm and an hour later, the long and strenuous way to the summit begins. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m, the climb slowly ascends. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro. Here, the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You quickly forget the coldness of the night and will reach the Uhuru Peak at 5895 meters after another 1-2 hours
Congratulations! You‘ve made it to the “Roof of Africa”. Enjoy this moment… The route back down follows the same path; the lava ash will now have thawed, which allows for a fast descent. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you and you can regain your strength. After a 1-2 hour rest, you will continue to Horombo Hut (3700m) where you will arrive in the afternoon. After an evening meal, most mountain conquerors retire early to bed!
