Tackle Kilimanjaro’s classic Marangu Route on an eight-day, hut-based trek with an acclimatisation day and experienced guides leading toward a sunrise summit.
  • Explore Marangu's markets, coffee shops, waterfalls, and ancient Chagga caves.
  • Hike from rainforest to alpine meadows dotted with giant heather trees.
  • Gaze at the twin snow-tipped peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi.
  • Walk toward Mawenzi, passing the striped Zebra Rocks.
  • Traverse the Saddle's stark lunar landscape beneath Kibo.
  • Climb by torchlight to Gilman's Point for sunrise over icefields.
  • Reach Uhuru Peak, Africa's highest point, for crater and plains views.
  • Descend through alpine meadows and rainforest to Marangu Gate.
Begin and end your trek at a hotel in Marangu, then stay in basic but comfortable wooden A-frame mountain huts with single beds and simple mattresses. Huts are mixed-gender, shared by 4–12 people, and supported by separate washroom huts with western and drop toilets and basins.
