Accompanied by an experienced guide, you will hike to Uhuru Peak in 5 days, the highest point on the continent at 5895 m. Individual and group trips.\n\nThe trip is planned via the Marangu route with overnight stays in huts. If this route is fully booked, you will spend the night in tents and climb the summit via the Machame or Rongai route. The Marangu route first leads through rainforest and later through grassland. Further up, you climb through scree and snow. Porters will carry your luggage so that you only have to carry a light backpack during the day.\r\n\r\nTravel Information<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWalking at an altitude of almost 6,000 m requires not only very good physical condition, but also good altitude acclimatization, regardless of the route you take. If you try to climb the highest mountain on the continent too quickly, you may not make it to Uhuru Peak.<\/em>","cost_includes":"Englischsprachige Reiseleitung.\n3x \u00dcbernachtung im Hotel \/ Lodge, 4x in Bergh\u00fctten\n7x Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck, 4x Mittagessen, 7x Abendessen, Getr\u00e4nke (Kaffee, Tee)\nTr\u00e4ger, die 12 kg Gep\u00e4ck tragen, Sie selbst tragen nur einen leichten Tagesrucksack w\u00e4hrend den Wanderungen\nNationalparkgeb\u00fchren\nTransfers von und zum Kilimanjaro Flugplatz sowie von und zum Kilimanjaro Nationalpark\nGeh\u00e4lter f\u00fcr Koch, Gep\u00e4cktr\u00e4ger und Reiseleiter","cost_excludes":"Fl\u00fcge von und nach Tansania\nVisum ( z.

The path is well-maintained and can be walked with light mountain boots. It is warm and a T-shirt or mountain shirt and shorts are sufficient. There is a packed lunch on the way, which is handed over at the start of the tour. On all days, you will receive a packed lunch in the morning before you set off, which has been freshly prepared by the cook. You will spend the first night on the mountain in the Mandara Hut. An excellent dinner awaits you, as every evening. We also cook vegetarian if we have been informed in advance.

It is noticeably cooler than the previous day. Today you should have a light jacket to hand. The trail runs through alpine raised moor. There are giant heather and the first large senecios to see. To better acclimatize, it is a good idea to spend an extra day here.

A landscape that reminds you of Mars. It is possible to descend with a mountain guide and porters at any time. If you feel well, you can climb another 10 km and 5 - 6 hours to the Kibo Hut at 4700 m. The Kibo Hut is the actual base camp for the summit assault. If you climb at night, you start around midnight or 1:00 a.m., depending on your fitness.

The long climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro is 1295 meters in altitude, the descent to the Horombo Hut is 2295 m. Compared to the efforts of the previous days, this is a huge increase. On a cloudy night you will need headlamps, but in moonlight you can easily walk the route without lamps. You reach the crater rim at dawn or in the morning sun. Africa is at your feet. You continue to the actual highest point, Uhuru Peak on the opposite crater rim, which you reach after another hour of "moon walking". After a half or full hour on the highest peak on the continent, you descend over an ash slope, and if you still have enough energy, you can "ski off". The trail for the descent is the same as the ascent. The path is firm later on, and you should reach the Kibo Hut without any problems. Around midday the porters will be waiting for you at the hut for lunch. After an hour's sleep, you descend to the Horombo Hut at 3700 m. In total it is 21 km on this day.

The 5 - 6 hour descent to Marangu Gate again leads through rainforest and leaves you in a wistful mood as you bid farewell to the magnificent natural surroundings into which you set off 4 days ago to conquer the summit. The vehicle awaits you at the gate, followed by a transfer back to the hotel. In the evening, you celebrate your unique experience and the achievement of having conquered the 5895 metres of Mount Kili by the swimming pool in the balmy air. The tour guide presents everyone with a summit certificate and says goodbye with \"Kwa heri ya kuonana. Safari njema!\". (F,A)<\/p>\n
