Depart Arusha from your base hotel and drive for 2hrs to Marangu. Trek to Mandara for 7 kms, 4-5 hrs, Ascent nom, Alt: 2700m . Dinner and overnight stay at Mandara Hut (B,L,D).

Day 2:Mandara Hut - Horombo

Starting early in the morning towards Horombo Hut you walk 5 hours, to cover the first 4 km or so, the dense rain forest now gives way to the rolling moorland clothed in knee- high gross tussocks dotted here and there with giant heather trees, some standing up to 9 m high.

Here is perhaps the most pleasant point where the landscape looks nice with flowers etc. , and the sun is refreshingly warm. From here, both Kibo and Mawenzi Peaks are magnificently viewed.

Some animal species are found here, i.e. bush duikers etc. The landscape becomes more rugged and rocky, now you arrive at Horombo Hut and at 3761 m above sea level. Dinner and overnight at the Horombo Hut. You should have warm clothes due to strong winds here.

Day 3:Horombo Hut - Kibo Hut

After breakfast, continue to Kibo Hut through the euphorbia trees and here high altitude causes difficulty in breathing and tiredness is felt.

The path leading you to Kibo Hut passes the water streams and skirts of Mawezi before opening out the Lunar Landscape of the Saddle. It forms a “U” between MAWENZI and KIBO Peaks.

You will have covered 13 km walking 6 Hours from Horombo Hut, and you will be 4732 m above sea level. You will experience the winter night as cold and icy winds encircle the huts accompanied by frost and snow. Dinner and overnight at Kibo Hut.
