  2. Trip overview The Marangu route, is also known as the Coca-Cola route because it offers a steady climb to each of the daily camps, which has given it the reputation for being an easy trek. However, it shouldn't be underestimated that as you approach the summit there is a high demand for physical fitness as there is a rough one-kilometre vertical elevation gain. This Safari will use 8 days to take you to the highest point in Africa, from your arrival to your departure. Trip Summary Day 1 Transfer from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Moshi Check in at AMEG Lodge Day 2 Transfer from the hotel to Marangu Gate (1860m) - Mandara Hut (2700m) Day 3 Mandara Hut (2700m) - Horombo Hut (3700m) Day 4 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Zebra Rocks (3980m) - Horombo Hut (3700m)

  3. Trip Summary Day 5 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Kibo Hut (4700m) Day 6 Kibo Hut (4700m) - Uhuru Peak (5895m) - Horombo Hut (3700m) Day 7 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Marangu Gate (1860m) Check in at AMEG Lodge Day 8 Transfer to Kilimanjaro International Air Port Detailed Itinerary Day 1 Transfer from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Moshi Depending on your arrival schedule our team will pick you up from Kiliman- jaro International Airport to Moshi Kilimanjaro for lunch, dinner and over- night.

  4. Check in at AMEG Lodge Day 2 Transfer from the hotel to Marangu Gate (1860m) - Mandara Hut (2700m) After breakfast and a briefing (including a check of your equipment), we drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park gate. Once the necessary formalities are completed, your hike through the dense rainforest can begin. Besides the impressive vegetation, you have the opportunity to observe black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and various bird species. After about 3-4 hours, you will reach the day's destination - the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, you can take a short trip to Maundi crater (15 minutes away) with your guide. The great view of Kilimanjaro, of north Tanzania and into Kenya is worth the extra effort in good weather. Dinner and overnight on the Mandara Hut.

  5. Day 3 Mandara Hut (2700m) - Horombo Hut (3700m) The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. After a 5-6 hour hike, you will reach the Horombo Hut, which is located at 3700 meters. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo and the wide plain of the Maasai steppe. Dinner and over- night at the Horombo Hut.

  6. Day 4 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Zebra Rocks (3980m) - Horombo Hut (3700m) Today serves as an acclimatization day. This should not be underestimated and will greatly improve your chances of success in reaching the summit. After a relaxed breakfast, your route will lead you today to Zebra Rocks (3980m). The striking black-and-white stripes give the rock formation its name. On your return to Horombo Hut, a warm lunch will be waiting for you. In the afternoon, you can rest and gather your strength for the next day's hike. Dinner and overnight at the Horombo Hut.

  7. Day 5 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Kibo Hut (4700m) Today's stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the Last Water- point which is followed by the so-called saddle. This near 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 early evening meal followed by an early night as the night will be short.

  8. Day 6 Kibo Hut (4700m) - Uhuru Peak (5895m) - Horombo Hut (3700m) Today is the great day - Summit day! This begins at night because the lava ash is still frozen and so the ascent is 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 but surely ascends. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman's Point (5681m) the crater rim of Kilimanja- ro where 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 understandably retire early to bed!

  9. Day 7 Horombo Hut (3700m) - Marangu Gate (1860m) The final stage leads through heath and moorland to Mandara Hut (2700m), where a warm lunch will be waiting for you. Then you will once again pass through the tropical rainforest, and after a total time of 6 hours of trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m). After leaving your mountain team, you will be transferred to your hotel. Here you can final- ly enjoy a hot and relaxing shower and celebrate your summit success. Check in at AMEG Lodge Day 8 Transfer to Kilimanjaro International Air Port After Breakfast, you will park your luggage ready to be taken to Airport, this will be the end of your Mountain Trekking Adventure and hope your stay with us will be memorable.
