Horombo Huts to Kibo Huts

Mount Kilimanjaro - Today’s trail leads to the saddle of Kilimanjaro, situated between Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. As the hike progresses into the alpine zone, wildlife and vegetation become sparse, ending at Kibo Huts. The surrounding area resembles a desert. At midnight, the trek continues towards Uhuru Peak.

Kibo Huts to Uhuru Peak to Horombo

Mount Kilimanjaro - The trek to the summit begins around midnight and is considered the most mentally and physically demanding segment. To combat fatigue from the wind, steepness, and cold in the dark, the trek includes frequent short breaks. At Gilman’s Point (5670m), the sunrise appears from the east, casting beautiful rays over Mawenzi Peak. After some time, the summit is reached, marking the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro. After a brief rest on the “Roof of Africa,” the descent to Horombo Hut begins for the final overnight stay.
