Marangu Route 6 days, day 5: Kibo Huts (4,700 m/ 15,419 ft) - Uhuru Peak (5,895 m/ 19,340 ft) - Horombo Huts (3,720 m/ 12,204 ft)

At night you start your ascent to conquer the majestic Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa! The biggest challenge lies in the first part of this climb until you reach Gilman’s Point. From here, Uhuru Peak is not far away, and relatively easy to climb. Once at the summit, enjoy a beautiful sunrise, which is quite impressive at this height! You descent through the Kibo Huts down to the Horombo Huts, where you will have dinner and overnight. You will be on your feet for about twelve hours today, so prepare yourself for a hard but rewarding day!
