of Kilimanjaro
- Mt Kilimanjaro climbing briefing
,Meet your guide and porters before you begin your hike 'hiking
time: 5 hours | Distance: About 12 km's | Habitat: Montane
forest
The drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park gate. The journey
passes through the village of Marangu, which is located on the
lower slopes of the mountain. Once you reach the park gate, all
hikers are requested to sign in at the Park office and make
their final preparations for the climb. Porters will be seen
arranging and loading their packs, containing the food, water,
cooking gas as well as most of your equipment. Make sure that
you have all your daypack items (containing at least drinking
water, your lunch pack and extra clothing) with you as the
porters ascend a lot quicker than the hikers. Our guides will be
available to assist with any additional information or needs you
might have. You now leave the Park gate and ascend on a cleared
ridge trail through the rain forest. The forest, suffused with
mist and dripping with beards of moss, is also where most of
Kilimanjaro's animals are found. (An alternative and more scenic
parallel forest trail, branches off to the left a few minutes
after the gate.
Day 3: Mandara hut (2700m) - Horombo hut (3720m)
Hiking time: 6 hours | Distance: About 15 km's | Habitat:
Moorland
From Mandara hut the trail passes through a short stretch of
forest, then skirts the base of the Maundi Crater and then
emerges into the transition from rain forest to moorland. It is
well worth a short detour to scramble up the rim of the Maundi
Crater for your first really impressive view of the Kibo Crater.
On a clear day, Kibo will glimmer in the distance, showing off
her majestic glaciers in the morning sun. Once you are in the
open moorland you will get the chance to see some of
Kilimanjaro's most spectacular plants - the endemic giant
lobelia which grows up to 3 m in height and the giant groundsel
(Senecia Kilimanjari), which can reach heights of 5m! After
about 6 hours from here you reach the Horombo hut, where you
will have hot washing water, rest; an evening meal and
overnight.
Day 4: Horombo hut (3720m) - Acclimatisation day
Horombo hut is a village of huts perched on a small plateau,
with buildings similar to Mandara, but with a total capacity of
120 climbers! Normally bustling with hikers, guides, porters and
with an atmosphere of adventure and excitement. You will meet
both ascending and descending hikers here. This extra day and
night at Horombo is for additional acclimatisation. A hike
towards the Mawenzi hut, passing the Zebra Rocks on the way
(about 3 hours up and 1.5 hours down), is strongly recommended.
This hike will further assist with the process of
acclimatisation. Remember to drink enough water and move slowly!
All meals for the day are provided at the hut. Retire to bed
early and get a last good night's rest, B,L,D.
Day 5: Horombo hut (3720m) - Kibo hut (4700m)
Hiking time: 6 hours | Distance: About 15 km's | Habitat: Alpine
desert
After breakfast you now continue your ascent into the Alpine
desert habitat. From Horombo there are two trails to the
"Saddle" (which refers to the area located between the peaks of
Mawenzi and Kibo). There is an upper route (right hand fork) and
lower route (left hand fork) to choose from. The upper route
(right hand fork) will be very familiar, as you will have
climbed most of it the previous day towards Mawenzi hut. It is
very stony and eroded.
The recommended lower route (left hand fork) is much easier and
nearly an hour and it also passes the last watering point at
4130m. You will have to fill your water bottles with all the
water you will need until your return to Horombo hut in two
night's time (unless you are willing to buy Mineral water at
Kibo hut). Once again remember to slow down and drink enough
water!! Situated in the barren Alpine desert is Horombo hut, a
stone build block house which has bunk beds for 60 climbers, but
no streams with water nearby. It is however possible to buy
mineral water and soft drinks at the camp office.
There are platform toilets behind the hut. The summit is now a
further 1195m up and you will make your final ascent the same
night. Prepare your equipment, ski-stick and thermal clothing
for your summit bid. This should include the replacement of your
headlamp and camera batteries and make sure you have a spare set
available as well. To prevent freezing it will be wise to carry
your water in a thermal flask. Go to bed at round about 19h00
and try to get as much rest and sleep as possible,
Day 6: Summit Attemp, Kibo hut (4700m) - Uhuru Peak (5895m) -
Horombo hut (3720m)
Hiking time: 8 hours to Uhuru - 6 hours to descend to Horombo |
Distance: 6 km's ascent - 21 km's descent | Habitat: Stone scree
and ice-capped summit. You will rise around 23h30, and after
some tea and biscuits you shuffle off into the night, and this
is where the going really gets tough. The first section of the
trail consists of a rocky path to the Hans Meyer Cave (5150m),
also a good resting spot. The path then zigzags up to Gillman's
point (5 681m), which is located on the crater rim. This section
is very steep with a lot of stone scree, requiring a great
physical and mental effort. Probably the most demanding section
of the entire route. Do the Kili shuffle and move slowly.
From Gillman’s Point you will normally encounter snow all the
way up to Uhuru peak (5895m), the highest point in Africa. Total
exhilaration and satisfaction - you made it. Weather conditions
on the summit will determine how long you will be able to spend,
taking photographs, before the 3 hour descent back to Kibo hut.
After a short rest you gather all your gear you left behind for
the ascent and head down to Horombo hut (3 hours) for your
overnight. The return to Horombo hut will seem surprisingly fast
compared to the ascent. The total time spent walking on this day
is around 14 hours, so be prepared for a very tough day.
Later in the evening you enjoy your last dinner (with soft
drinks and beer for sale at the camp office) on the mountain and
a well-earned sleep, filled with memories and stirring emotions,
Day 7: Horombo hut (3720m) - Marangu Gate (1980m)
Hiking time: 6 hours | Distance: About 27 km's
After breakfast you continue your descent (6 hours), passing the
Mandara hut, down to the Marangu gate. At Marangu gate you sign
your name and details in a register. This is also where
successful climbers receive their summit certificates. Those
climbers who reached Gillman's Point (5685m) are issued with
green certificates and those who reached Uhuru Peak (5895m),
receive gold certificates. You now drive back to Arusha for a
long over due hot shower, dinner and celebrations!! Overnight at
SG Resort,
