RONGAI - ROUTE 5days
/ 4 nights. DAY
1 The climb begins at the village of Nale Moru ( 1950 mts) through cultivated
land before entering the pine forest. Watch out for Kilimanjaro Colobus monkeys
in the tree tops with their white fringed 'capes' and tail. Taking 3 - 4 hours
the first camp is on the edge of the moorland zone where the forest begins to
thin out at First Cave at 8500ft/2600m. Overnight 1st Cave Camp DAY 2
The morning walk is a steady ascent up to Second Cave at 11300ft/3450m with superb
views of Kibo and the eastern ice fields on the crater rim. Pushing on to reach
Third Cave taking 3 to 4 hours at 12800ft/3800m for overnight camp. Overnight
3rd Cave Camp DAY 3 Continue ascending on the east side of Kibo
crossing the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo taking 4 to 5 hours to reach Kibo
Hut at 15000ft/4700m. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation
for the final ascent which begins around midnight. Overnight Kibo Camp DAY
4 An early start for the summit on steep heavy scree to arrive at Gilman's
Point at 18640ft/5681m in time to see the sun rise. Those who want to reach the
highest point in Africa can take the approximately three hour excursion to Uhuru
Peak 19340/5896m passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that
still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo is surprisingly fast
and after some refreshment, continue the descent to reach the final campsite at
Horombo at 12000ft/3700m taking 11 to 15 hours. Overnight Horombo Camp DAY
5 A steady descent down through the moor land to Mandara Hut and then
downward through the lush forest on a good path to the National Park gate at Marangu
( 1830m) taking 5 to 7 hours to be met and transferred to your Hotel for dinner
and overnight.
