Itinerary For The Best 6 days Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Tour In 2026 - 2027

Day 1: Marangu Gate (1,870m) – Mandara Hut (2,720m)

Your Kilimanjaro adventure with Tanzania Safari Radar begins with a morning transfer from Moshi or Arusha to Marangu Gate, where you complete park registration and meet your professional mountain crew. For day 1 of your Kilimanjaro climb through Marangu route the trek starts through dense tropical rainforest, home to towering trees, colorful birds, and playful blue monkeys. This first day is relatively gentle and ideal for warming up your legs while your body starts adjusting to the altitude. After approximately 4–5 hours of hiking through Mount Kilimanjaro, you arrive at Mandara Hut, your overnight accommodation, where you enjoy a hot dinner and rest in preparation for the days ahead.

Day 2: Mandara Hut (2,720m) – Horombo Hut (3,720m)

After breakfast, the trail gradually climbs out of the rainforest into the open heath and moorland zone, offering wide views of the surrounding landscape. Along the way, you may see giant lobelias and groundsels unique to Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek takes about 6–7 hours and provides your first clear views of Mawenzi Peak and, weather permitting, Kibo Peak. Upon reaching Horombo Hut, you settle in, enjoy a freshly prepared meal, and spend the evening resting while acclimatizing at higher altitude.

Day 3: Acclimatization Day at Horombo Hut (3,720m)

6 Days Marangu Route for 2026/2027

This additional day is what makes the 6-day Marangu Route a better and safer option than the 5-day version. After breakfast, you take a guided acclimatization hike toward Zebra Rocks (approximately 4,020m) before returning to Horombo Hut for lunch. This “climb high, sleep low” strategy significantly improves your chances of reaching the summit. The afternoon is spent resting, hydrating, and enjoying the dramatic alpine views. Dinner and overnight at Horombo Hut.

Day 4: Horombo Hut (3,720m) – Kibo Hut (4,700m)

6 Days Marangu Route for 2026/2027

Following an early breakfast, you continue your ascent toward Kibo Hut, crossing the wide alpine desert known as the Saddle, which lies between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. The terrain is stark and dry, and the altitude becomes more noticeable, so the pace remains slow and steady. Day 4 of your Kilimanjaro trek takes approximately 6–8 hours. Upon arrival at Kibo Hut, you rest, enjoy an early dinner, and prepare for your midnight summit attempt with guidance from your experienced Tanzania Safari Radar mountain guides.

Day 5: Kibo Hut (4,700m) – Uhuru Peak (5,895m) – Horombo Hut (3,720m)

6 Days Marangu Route for 2026/2027

Around midnight, you begin the final ascent under the stars, trekking slowly toward Gilman’s Point (5,685m) on the crater rim. After a short rest, you continue along the rim to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa and the ultimate achievement of your Kilimanjaro climb. After photos and celebrations at the summit, you descend back to Kibo Hut for a brief rest before continuing down to Horombo Hut. Day 5 of Marangu route Kilimanjaro trekking is the longest and most challenging day, but also the most rewarding.

Day 6: Horombo Hut (3,720m) – Marangu Gate (1,870m)

6 Days Marangu Route for 2026/2027

After breakfast, you make your final descent through moorland and rainforest back to Marangu Gate.
