Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Moshi to Mandara Hut

    Your guide picks you up from the lodge in Moshi after breakfast and drives you to Marangu Gate where you'll handle the paperwork. The trek starts through thick rainforest where you might catch sight of primates moving through the canopy. You'll hike to Mandara Hut, then make time for a visit to Maundi Crater which gives you views out over the Kenyan interior. The walk covers 8.3km over roughly 5 hours.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Included Activities

    • Trek through rainforest from Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut
    • Visit Maundi Crater for views of Kenyan interior

    Maundi Crater
    Mandara Hut
  2. Day 2

    Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

    An early breakfast gets you going before leaving Mandara Hut behind. The trail brings you to the timberline and into heath and moor terrain as you climb higher. After 4 to 6 hours of walking, Horombo Hut appears at 3700m altitude. Once you settle in, the views are really something with Mawenzi, Kibo, and the Masai steppe plains all visible from the hut. You'll cover 12.5km over approximately 9 hours.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Included Activities

    • Trek from Mandara Hut through timberline to Horombo Hut

    Mawenzi
    Kibo
  3. Day 3

    Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

    This is the longest and toughest day of the climb. The path takes you past the Last Water point and across the saddle, a bare plateau with hardly any vegetation that connects Kibo and Mawenzi. Reaching Kibo Hut takes about 5 to 6 hours. You'll have dinner early and get to bed soon after since the summit attempt starts just after midnight. The distance is 9.5km over roughly 7 hours.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  4. Day 4

    Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak and return to Horombo Hut

    Around midnight you start the final push to the summit, a long and demanding climb in cold, thin air. You'll pass Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m and reach Gillman's Point at 5681m when the sun comes up, where you can see the crater rim spread out below. Another 1 to 2 hours gets you to Uhuru Peak at 5895m. After eating something warm and resting for an hour or two at Kibo Hut, you'll head back down to Horombo Hut. The total distance is 22km over 12 to 15 hours.

  5. Day 5

    Horombo Hut to Moshi

    The final descent takes you down through heath and moor back to Mandara Hut where lunch is waiting. From there you walk through tropical rainforest again, taking about 6 hours total to reach Kilimanjaro National Park Gate at 1860m. After thanking your guides, a short drive takes you back to your hotel in Moshi where a hot shower and a chance to rest feels like the best thing in the world. You'll walk 20.8km over approximately 8 hours.

    I completed the 5-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route with Migration Venture Africa, and it was an experience of a lifetime! From the start, the team was well-organized, professional, and incredibly supportive. The guides were knowledgeable and kept us motivated throughout the trek, ensuring we acclimatized properly. The trek itself was stunning, from lush rainforests at the base to the alpine desert near the summit. The hut accommodations were comfortable, and the food was surprisingly good for a mountain climb! Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise was the most rewarding and emotional moment—I couldn’t have done it without the amazing team. If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro and want a well-planned, safe, and enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Migration Venture Africa! They truly go above and beyond to make the journey unforgettable.

    Migration Venture Africa was great! Amos, the owner/manager was extremely quick to respond to questions. We did a waterfall hike, Kilimanjaro climb, and a 2-day safari with the company and everything was great. Our group did the 5-day mountain climb, which was not recommended by the company because it was very difficult. The hike was very difficult, and I recommend taking at least a few additional days. Guides were extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodations were simple but very nice and they have great food and drinks available on the premises. I would recommend using Migration Venture Africa for all of your Tanzania adventures!

    Transfers, attentiveness, professionalism, consistency...you name it, Migration Venture checks off every box. I ( and the other 15 members of our group) were constantly raving of our guides, chefs and porters. They honestly made our climb seem like a 5 star experience on a mountain. From the minute we woke, until we closed our eyes at night, everything was done with consistency and professionalism. The food was different every single day (and so yummy!), our camp sites were always ready for us when we arrived, medical checks were done twice a day, and so much more. Oh, we had hot water-bottle-bunnies given to us each night at bedtime to put in our sleeping bags to keep us warm. Just one more thing we became accustomed to. We knew what to expect every single day due to their communication with us and the overall format they followed. There were many laughs and tears as well left the mountain. We grew close to these men and shared the ups and downs (literally) over the course of 7 days. They aided us in every way possible. They made us feel at home. They sang and danced (for us) and with us, we shared a New Year's cake with them that they carried up the mountain for us. Again, I can go on and on and on..... I own a travel agency and I can not wait to have my clients partner with Migration Venture.

    Found this company purely by searching the internet. It was only because Amos replied so quickly and was extremely helpful with my questions and queries that I was happy to book. We decided to GO on four-night five days TREK to KILIMANJARO PARK. Our guide MANYOTA was brilliant. He was happy to stop for anything we wanted to see and waited for us to give the ok to move on. I would definitely recommend using Migration Venture Africa all was brilliant.

    We were picked up from the hotel in Moshi and drive to Marangu gate it was almost a 1hr drive. Our day tour ended up at the first hut Mandara. This is the first camp where those who climb via Marangu rute they sleep. From there we proceed with our guide to the waterfalls and it was stunning. Thank you Siza for a great experience.

    Had a great time with Migration Venture. Did a 5-day, 4-night trek, with the first and last night at The Better Inn Lodge. The Kilimanjaro walks were fantastic. We had knowledgeable guide who could tell us a lot about what we were seeing (and find more info for us). All in all, our trek was very well organized by all the Migration Venture staff. The food provided was also very good, and they were very accommodating with dietary restrictions. The staff at both lodges was fantastic, though, and helpful at all times. Amos was also helpful in planning the trip, and answered all questions ahead of time. Highly recommend using Migration Venture for a Tanzania safari.
