Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
The trail to the summit lies directly behind Kibo Hut to the west. It is normal to start this days climb at 2 am or earlier. (You can see the sunrise over Mawenzi from the top of Kibo, the loose stone scree is frozen – making It easier to climb, and you can get back in good time). The first part is an uneven trail which leads to the Hans Meyer cave, a good rest point. After that, the trail makes more regular switchbacks most of the way to the top, with a last scramble over rocks to Johannss Notch and Giliman’s Point. If you make it to Giliman’s Point the National Government of Tanzania will give you a certificate stating that you made it to the point. From there, the trail continues along the rim past Stella Point to Uhuru Peak. This is the highest point of Africa at 19,340 feet and you will receive a beautiful certificate from the Government of Tanzania that you have successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. As you descend from the rim back to Kibo Hut, it is tempting to run fast, but this can result in clouds of irritating dust and even unpleasant falls. The return to Horombo Hut will seem surprisingly fast compared to the ascent.
