About this activity

Ascend Africa's highest peak via the scenic Marangu Route, a 5-day guided trek to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) on Mount Kilimanjaro. This route combines manageable daily distances with hut-based accommodation, making it an accessible yet rewarding high-altitude adventure through distinct ecological zones.

Enjoy trekking to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak within a short time. Get to take amazing photos of the mountain and Kibo & Mawenzi Volcanoes

  • ✓Descend via the same route with time for acclimatisation

Insider tips

  • ★Start the trek in the early morning to maximise daylight hours and aid acclimatisation
  • ★Pack a good headtorch and warm layers—nights above 4,000m drop well below freezing
