Your Itinerary:
Day 1: Drive from Arusha to a hotel in Moshi. Dinner and overnight at the hotel. Day 2: Morning walk through the Kilimanjaro forest and spend the night at Mandara Hut, situated at 2700 meters. Day 3: Climb to Horombo Hut which lies at 3720 meters. Day 4: Ascend to Kibo Hut at 5680 meters. Day 5: Today will be your final ascent to the summit, Uhuru Peak which stands at 5895. Overnight at the Horombo Hut. Day 6: In the morning descend to the Marangu Gate where you will be met and transferred to your Moshi Hotel for the night. Day 7: Return to Arusha. Equipment required: All climbers should attempt to bring as much as possible of the following: anorak, mittens, balaclava (ski-masks), snow goggles or ski sunglasses, scarf, 3 pairs of warm trousers, sweaters, 6 pairs of warm socks, thermal underwear, waterproof layer, sun proof hat, comfortable boots, sun cream, small first aid kit, day pack, torch plus spare battery, and water bottle(s) with 2 liter capacity. Suggested medicines: headache tablets (preferably not aspirin since this tends to irritate stomachs already sensitive at altitude), Imodium/Lomotil for diarrhea sometimes associated with altitude. Climbers may like to consult their physicians about acetazolamide (Diamox), a drug that many find mitigates the ill effects of altitude, headache, diarrhea and vomiting. Tipping: It is customary for satisfied climbers to tip guides and porters. Amounts given are entirely within the discretion of the guest. As a general guideline, however, guests are advised to budget $ 50-100 each for this purpose. The amount per guest tends to be larger the smaller the group. Notes:
