Mount Kilimanjaro, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, is the highest mountain in Africa (5 895 metres and the highest walkable summit in the world. One of the legendary seven Summits, and a bucket list challenge for many people, any reasonably fit person can reach the summit of Kilimanjaro with the help of a team of dedicated porters and guides. We at Lets view Tanzania have been taking climbers safely up Kili since 2016 and have first hand experience of what it’s like. We will hold your hand every step of the way – from early planning and preparation, all the way to the top of Africa! Our success rate for summiting is over 95% and is attributed to good preparation and professional guiding. Our guides are the very best available, and their enthusiasm, knowledge of the region and care for you will ensure that your hike is both comfortable and rewarding. After an early breakfast, a senior guide will conduct your climb briefing.

You will then be driven to Rongai Gate, where you will meet the rest of your guides and porters. After the formalities at the gate have been completed, begin your ascent to the first cave en route. The climb should take approximately 2 to 3 hours. This part takes you through the cultivated area of the mountain, where you can see how local farmers tend to their lands on the slopes. Overnight at Simba Camp (1,800m).

> Overnight: Simba Camp
Simba Camp is situated at an elevation of 3,600m in the Kilimanjaro region. The campsite offers tent camping and is close to First Caves campsite where guests can enjoy lunch while trekking

Early in the morning, begin trekking out past the second cave, and on to the third cave. This should take you approximately 6 to 7 hours. The climb today is relatively difficult, taking you through forest and well into the moorland. Overnight at Kikelelwa Camp (3,800m).

>Overnight: Kikelewa Camp
The Kikelewa Camp is part of the Rongai Route which approaches Kilimanjaro from the North, near the Kenya Tanzania border. At the camp, adventurers can enjoy the surrounding grassy slopes. The camp is near the Tsavo River which runs from Tsavo West National Park into Tanzania

Continue ascending to Mawenzi Tarn Hut, which should take approximately 7 hours to get to. Overnight camping at Mawenzi Tarn Hut (4,330m).

> Overnight: Mawenzi Tarn Camp
The Mawenzi Tarn Camp is located near the base of Mwenzi, which is one of the 3 peaks of Mount. Kilimanjaro and is mostly used by ascending climbers on the Rongai route.

Depart to Kibo Hut, which should take you approximately 4 to 5 hours. Settle down for an early night camping at Kibo Hut (4,703m).

>Overnight: Kibo Hut Kibo is a little basecamp set in the Kilimanjaro National Park. Climbers set camp here before leaving for Uhuru Peak.

Today you will be heading for the highest point in Africa - Uhuru Peak (5,895m). You will be woken around midnight to commence the 5 hour hike on heavy scree up to Gillman's Point (5,686m). You will be walking in the dark as the ground is frozen and this makes it easier to ascend this steep section.

As you reach the Crater Rim, the sun should be rising to display Africa in all its glory beneath you. The views are spectacular and it makes the entire journey worth every step! Continue another 1 or 2 hours to Uhuru Peak, along the wide paths of the crater rim, peering down onto massive glaciers shining in the morning sun.

Arriving at Uhuru can be quite emotional, with the strain of the summit finally behind you and Africa surrounding you! After a few photographs at the summit, begin your steady descent to Kibo Hut for a rest and some nourishment, then continue to Horombo Hut to camp for overnight.

Having witnessed nature at its magnificent best, you must now descend all the way back to Marangu Gate. Use trekking poles to assist you and don’t forget to collect your green or gold certificates (green for trekkers who stopped at Gilman’s Point, gold for the ones who made it to Uhuru Peak).

Transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for your return flight home.
