Plan my trip
The same hut-based route as our 5-day Marangu itinerary, with one extra night added at Horombo Hut purely for acclimatisation. It's the version we'd recommend by default on this route — the additional day noticeably improves comfort and summit success without changing the path or the huts you sleep in.
Travel on your own schedule — dates, pace and accommodation level are yours to choose. Tell us your group size and preferred dates on the enquiry form below and we'll confirm exact pricing.

After a night at Arusha Planet Lodge, you're collected early and driven to the gate. Registration at Marangu Gate (1,860m), then a gentle walk through rainforest to Mandara Hut (2,700m).
The forest gives way to moorland as the trail climbs to Horombo Hut (3,700m), with views of Kibo and Mawenzi opening up.
A short acclimatisation walk up toward Mawenzi or Zebra Rocks and back, staying a second night at Horombo (3,700m) — the key difference from the 5-day itinerary.
A long day across the alpine desert saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo, arriving at Kibo Hut (4,700m) for an early dinner and rest before the midnight summit push.
A midnight departure for the climb to Gillman's Point, then on to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) for sunrise, descending all the way back to Horombo Hut (3,700m).
A long final descent through moorland and forest back to Marangu Gate, where your certificate is issued before the drive back to Arusha, where a room is waiting at Arusha Planet Lodge for a hot shower and a final night before your onward journey.
