Day 1: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut

After an early start, you’ll drive to the Marangu Gate, where you’ll complete park entry formalities and commence your hike. The trail leads you through the captivating rainforest, with its lush vegetation and diverse wildlife.

By the end of the day, you’ll arrive at Mandara Hut, nestled at an elevation of 2,700 meters, where you’ll spend your first night on the mountain.

Day 2: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

Continuing your ascent, you leave the rainforest behind and transition into the heath and moorland zone. The landscape changes as you climb towards the Horombo Hut at 3,720 meters above sea level. This hut offers stunning views of the mountain and is your resting place for the night.

Day 3: Acclimatization Day at Horombo Hut

This is a crucial acclimatization day to help your body adjust to the increasing altitude. You’ll hike to a higher elevation and then descend to sleep at Horombo Hut, a strategy that aids in acclimatization and prepares you for the challenging summit attempt.

Day 4: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

Today, you’ll trek through the Alpine desert zone, making your way to Kibo Hut at the base of Kilimanjaro’s summit. It’s a demanding day that requires rest and preparation for the imminent summit bid.

Day 5: Summit Day and Descent to Horombo Hut

The most anticipated day of your journey begins around midnight. You’ll start your ascent to the summit, Uhuru Peak, reaching it just as the sun rises. After relishing your accomplishment at the peak, you’ll begin your descent, first back to Kibo Hut and then further down to Horombo Hut.

Day 6: Descend to Marangu Gate

Today marks your descent through the heath and rainforest zones, retracing your steps. The journey concludes at the Marangu Gate, where you’ll receive your well-earned summit certificates and be transported back to your accommodation.

Amazing 3 day safari trip Amazing time on safari while in Moshi for a month. We did a 3 day trip seeing tarangire national park, ngorongoro crater and lake manyara. Stunning number and variety of animals in each park, and the drivers were fun, friendly and very good at spotting animals in the distance! All the logistics were very well organised, we were well fed and looked after. Would definitely recommend! Ngorongoro crater was the highlight for me :)

Amazing We spent 3 days in the safari and it was amazing, never experienced anything like it before, the views were stunning. Timo was our driver for the 3 days and was so kind and took the time to explain and show us everything. Would 100% recommend booking the safari trips with relight childhope adventure

Brilliant safari! Volunteered to teach in one of the primary schools in Moshi. Such an amazing experience! During my time there I went on a 3 day safari. The experience was unbelievable. I went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The amount and variety of wild animals is truly mind blowing. The trip was well organised and the drivers skilfully found some great close up encounters with lions, elephants and everything else. Accommodation was adequate and the group I travelled with were well fed and watered with evening entertainment thrown in. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Amazing weekend!!! Our 3 day safari was amazing! Very well organised by Timo and our guide Hiliary was great. We saw all of the big 5 throughout the weekend. You visit 3 different parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara. The accommodation is quite basic but does have a great view over lake manyara! Overall a great weekend!

Love Zanzibar! Visiting Zanzibar through the Relight Childhope Adventures was lots and lots of fun! We had an amazing time visiting the Jozeni forest, doing the beach safari and even seeing dolphins. It is an experience I will never forget, and even more amazing to have been able to have done it with friends. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get an all around experience of the beauty of Zanzibar, whilst also being able to explore the lovely and historic Stone Town.
