      Leave Springlands hotel at about 8:00 a.m. and drive 45 minutes to Marangu Gate on the eastern side of Kilimanjaro. Do the necessary paperwork at the park gate, such as registrations. Begin hiking at about 10:30 a.m. Hike through the rainforest from the park gate to Mandara Hut, taking about 4 hours. Stop halfway for lunch. Reach the Mandara Huts at about 2 or 3 p.m. Unpack, rest, and have tea or coffee. Dinner is served during the early evening, about 7 p.m. A side trip to Maundi Crater (about 15 minutes away) is a good way to see the surroundings as well as views of Kenya and Northern Tanzania.

      Mandara Hut | Horombo Hut

      Wake up for breakfast (approx. 7:30 a.m.) and pack for the next leg. Break camp at about 8:30 a.m. and hike to Horombo Hut. This leg should take 5 to 6 hours. You travel through lower-heath land with small shrubs being the main vegetation. Stop halfway for lunch. Views of Mawenzi are amazing. Take a moment to take it all in. The summit of Kibo can be seen from Horombo Huts. Arrive at the Horombo Huts at about 3 p.m. Rest, unpack, and prepare for dinner. Bathrooms are available with running water.

The first half of the dayโ€™s hike traverses the upper heath land, while the second half crosses the vast saddle that connects Mawenzi and Kibo. The saddle is an alpine desert that resembles a lunar landscape guaranteed to blow you away. Be careful to notice signs of altitude sickness. Listen to your body and communicate with your expert guide, who will be there with you throughout your trek. The dayโ€™s hike should take 6 to 7 hours, stopping halfway for lunch.

Leave at about 1:00 a.m. and reach Gilmanโ€™s Point at about 7:00 a.m. The climbers are met with views of the crater from Gilmanโ€™s Point because it is on the Crater Rim. Another 2 hours of hiking brings the climber to UhuruPeak at about 8:30 a.m. From there, you will descend back to Kibo Huts, collect your things, and cross the saddle again at Horombo Huts, where you will spend the night. Eat dinner and get some well-deserved sleep.

It is recommended to tip guides and porters. A tip is highly appreciated at the end of their trip. Tips can be given to the main guide at Springlands Hotel, as well as contacting our local representatives at Springlands Hotel who will help you organize this. This is also where successful climbers receive their summit certificates.
