Itinerary
Day 1: Moshi
Arrive in Moshi and head to the hotel. Attend a pre-departure meeting with the local guide to go over last minute details of the trip.
Day 2: Moshi/Mandara Huts
Most days the hiking will begin early in the morning, with hikes of around 5 to 6 hours. The guides will set a moderate pace, so as to allow for time to acclimatize to the altitude changes. Guides will continually repeat the words, “pole pole” (po-ly, po-ly), which means “go slowly” in Swahili.
Day 3: Mandara Huts/Horombo Huts
Day 4: Horombo Huts/Kibo Huts
Day 5: Kibo Huts/Horombo Huts
Day 6: Horombo Huts/Moshi
Transfer by shuttle bus to Moshi. Time to relax, take a shower, and celebrate with a drink. Cheers to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro! Before dinner, you will be welcomed and congratulated on your climb by the mamas of the Moshi Women's Cooperative, a project supported by G Adventures. They will present you with a gift and a certificate to remember all your efforts on the mountain.
Opt to pre-book the Lala Salama Spa & Beauty Aromatherapy Massage, which partners with Moshi Women's Cooperative, by adding it to your checkout page, or ask your GCO or travel agent for assistance.
Day 7: Moshi/Stone Town
Transfer to the airport for a short, but scenic flight to this island paradise. Arrive in Stone Town in time for lunch and an orientation walk. If you opt to continue on for a longer tour of Stone Town, you will be visiting the Old Slave Market and Palace Museum; entrance to these sites are optional and are to be purchased on site.

I’ve taken a few G Adventures trips, but this one was by far the most challenging. Mentally and physically you will be pushed, especially if you’re not avid climber/used to the elevation. Overall though, I would more than recommend as the views from the ...

Very much enjoyed our experience with G Adventures. James, Ezron, Mufasa, Freddie, and the other CEOs/G Fighters on Kilamanjaro were outstanding. We learned a lot from them and appreciated how incredibly hard they worked. Great team!

I loved my Kili G Adventures family - CEOs, G Fighters, and the people I met. I made friendships that will last a lifetime among all in this giant family. I was surrounded by positive energy by all in the G Adventures family and supported each day on this.
