A -day route from $880
Your journey begins with a drive to Momella Gate for registration and a briefing. From there, start your trek through the vibrant rainforest, accompanied by an armed ranger for safety due to the presence of wildlife. The trail meanders through open grasslands, where you may encounter giraffes, buffaloes, and other wildlife. Reach Miriakamba Hut (2,514 meters) for a well-deserved dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, continue your climb through the forest and into the moorland zone. The trail becomes steeper as you approach Saddle Hut (3,570 meters). Upon arrival, take some time to rest, and if you wish, embark on an optional acclimatization hike to Little Meru (3,820 meters) for breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Return to Saddle Hut for dinner and an overnight stay.
Wake up early for a midnight start to your summit attempt. Trek through the darkness, passing Rhino Point (3,800 meters) and Cobra Point (4,350 meters), before reaching the summit at Socialist Peak (4,566 meters) just in time for sunrise. Relish the panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscape. After celebrating your accomplishment, begin your descent back to Saddle Hut for a brief rest. Continue your descent to Momella Gate and transfer back to Arusha, where you can unwind and celebrate the success of your climb.

Our Kilimanjaro packages cover all transfers outlined in the program. When you arrive at Kilimanjaro, one of our drivers will pick you up in a spacious and comfortable Toyota Alphard and take you to your hotel. Our cars have large trunks that can accommodate plenty of luggage. Inside you’ll find complimentary bottled water (custom-ordered by vicconsultsafaris), a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wet wipes for your convenience. All our cars undergo regular examination and maintenance by our in-house team of technicians.
Our driving team consists of experienced and knowledgeable drivers, all of whom speak fluent English.
For the transfer to the trailhead of your climbing adventure, we will use Toyota Hiace or Coaster, which are better suited for navigating the wilderness terrain en route to Mt. Kilimanjaro. These cars are built to handle rough trails and ensure your safety.
At the end of your journey, we’ll also provide you with a return transfer to the Kilimanjaro International Airport. With our comprehensive package, you can rest easy and enjoy the journey without concerns about your transportation.
The night before the climb and the night following the descent, you will be accommodated in a 3* hotel in the area of Moshi Town. By default – shared double occupancy room unless you order a single supplement. We always offer Aishi Machame Hotel and Brubru Lodge as the first option, as both hotels are owned and run by vicconsult safari. Should both of them be unavailable, you will be offered an alternative property with the matching comfort and service level. In your hotel, you will find everything a traveler needs: professional staff, a restaurant, a swimming pool, comfortable rooms with mosquito nets, laundry service, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Aishi Machame is situated in a tranquil, green rural neighborhood, just 23 km (14.3 mi) from Moshi, and is often visited by monkeys, mongooses, and other wildlife, which you can observe from the restaurant terrace during breakfast. This location is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. Our office and rental gear store are also located here.
Brubru Lodge is situated in the quietest area of Moshi, known as Shanty Town, and we recommend it to those who want to be closer to city life and explore local cafes, shops, and nightlife. If you need any gear for your climb from our gear store at Aishi Machame – don’t worry – our managers will deliver it right to Brubru Lodge for your orientation briefing.
By default, our packages include bed and breakfast accommodation. We also offer half-board and full-board upgrades at an additional cost.
