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.
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.Accommodation - Bristol Cottages Kilimanjaro
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.
Meals included: Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner
Exclusive inclusions: Transport - Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.Activity - Walk 4 hours to the Mandara Hut (2743m, 8999 ft) after registering at the gate. The slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro are classified as rainforest zone so there will likely be rain in the afternoon while travelling under the lush canopy. Enjoy the view while hiking through the lower terrain and possibly spot some of the exotic wildlife in the area. The Mandra Hut has sleeping bunks, running water and flushable toilets.
Day 3: Mandara Huts/Horombo Huts
Meals included: Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Continue up through the upper rainforest zone and reach the moorland zone at 3000m (9842 ft). In this zone plants grow to outrageous heights like the giant lobelia and giant groundsel that can reach up to 5m (16 ft). Enjoy the view of the semi-alpine zone's plants and ravines. Reach Horombo hut (3720m, 12205 ft) and get some rest.
Day 4: Horombo Huts/Kibo Huts
Meals included: Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Start the slow trek through the heathland and enter the alpine desert zone. Because of the increase in altitude, hike a slow pace today to allow time to get acclimatized but pay attention to any signs of altitude sickness. The ascent to the saddle of Mt Kilimanjaro is between the peaks of Kibo and Mwenzi, get a great view of Kibo after crossing the saddle. Rest for the night at Kibo Hut (4703m, 15430 ft) and prepare for the upcoming hike to the summit.
Day 5: Kibo Huts/Horombo Huts
Meals included: Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Wake up just after midnight to start climbing to the summit. Gillman’s Point (5861m, 19229 ft) on the crater rim is easier to reach when the scree slope is frozen so the climb is best done before daylight. The view of the sunrise from the summit is also worth the early start. From Gilman’s Point, continue on to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.Activity - Take a quick moment to enjoy the view and celebrate a successful climb before starting the descent to Horombo Huts Camp. Enjoy a well-deserved rest during the last night on the mountain.
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.
Meals included: Breakfast,Lunch
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Continue the descent to the Marangu Gate, passing by the Mandara escarpment on the way. Enjoy the easier descent and hikers who successfully reached Uhuru Peak will receive a summit certificate.Transport - Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.Activity - This project is supported by the Planeterra Foundation and G Adventures. Women and girls are often the first to be excluded from educational programs in Tanzania, with most girls being pulled out of school by Grade 3 to help out around the home. Our ground partners provide free adult business education for women in Moshi, and Planeterra and G Adventures have rented a cooperative space to allow these students to practice their academic skills and save income to start their own business. Feel free to shop for for souvenirs and speak to the women who run the cooperative about their lives and how the project has assisted in building a brighter future.Accommodation - Bristol Cottages Kilimanjaro

My overall Kilimanjaro experience via the 5 day Marangu route was awesome. The G team made it all possible and comfortable. Without their enthusiasm and knowledge it would have been a completely different experience.

I had the best week in the company of G adventures and their staff and clients. I was looked after well by professional and knowledgeable people from start to finish.

It was a great experience. I want to thank Moises for waking us up and telling us goodnight, for being so kind and accommodating. I want to thank Hamed for his kindness and attentiveness, Regan, Suju, and Sandi for carrying my bag all the way and safely....

Overall this experience was truly incredible and something I'll never forget. I don't think I've ever done anything more physically and mentally challenging than getting to Uhuru Peak the day we summited, but it was so rewarding.

Truly, our tour with the team—Melek, Moussa, and Charles (AND ALL THE G WARRIORS) —was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our journey unforgettable. Their unwavering support kept our spirits high

07/09/2024
I had fantastic memories on this trip. I personally am not a very athletic person, and encountered some difficulties in the big summit day. The crews were all very encouraging, accommodating my pace, taking care of me, and getting me to the final point!
06/26/2024
The mountain was difficult but the staff did the best job they could to get the group where we needed to go. I stayed healthy and made it to the top thanks to them.
06/23/2024
Kilimanjaro is a challenging mountain. More challenging than I initially thought. But it was, overall, a great experience thanks to our CEO and his amazing team. They helped, motivated and taught us so much. I wouldn’t have chosen any other way to do it!...

Another fantastic trip! I felt safe and looked after and supported the entire way, especially on summit day when I was struggling, I wouldnt not have made it without the guides!
