4-Day Northern Tanzania Safari Extension
Extend your Tanzania holiday with a 4-day safari from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with a cultural stop arranged along the route.
Trek Kilimanjaro on the 6-day Marangu Route with shared hut stays and an acclimatization day at Horombo. Starts and finishes in Arusha.
6 Days / 5 Nights
2–10 Guests
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on the six-day Marangu Route, using shared mountain huts instead of tented camps. The trek follows the same route up and down and includes a second night at Horombo before continuing to Kibo and a guided summit attempt.
The six days and five nights refer to the mountain programme. Transfers start and finish in Arusha; arrive before day one for a briefing and equipment check, and plan a hotel night after the descent. Those additional nights and international travel sit outside the advertised trekking duration. The extra Horombo day provides acclimatization time, but does not guarantee a summit or remove altitude-related risk.

After an early Arusha pickup, drive to Marangu Gate for registration and meet the mountain team. Begin the guided walk through montane forest to Mandara Hut. Keep a measured pace and settle into shared hut accommodation. The previous day’s briefing and equipment check must be completed before this transfer and trekking day.
Continue upwards as the trail leaves denser forest and opens into moorland. Walk steadily with regular breaks and follow the guides’ pacing instructions. Reach Horombo for a meal and rest, with mountain views when the weather clears. Shared facilities are basic and warm clothing is needed as conditions become cooler.
Remain based at Horombo for a second night. Your guide may lead a gradual acclimatization walk towards Zebra Rocks before returning to the huts, adjusting the outing to weather and how the group is feeling. Use the afternoon to rest and prepare for the higher stage; report any discomfort promptly to the mountain team.
Cross the increasingly open alpine landscape towards Kibo. This is a steady ascent into a harsher environment, with fewer sheltered places and colder conditions. On arrival, eat and rest before the summit briefing. The guide assesses readiness and explains the night departure, equipment requirements and circumstances in which the attempt may be changed.
Start the summit attempt during the night if the guides judge conditions suitable. Follow the Marangu ascent towards Gilman’s Point; continuing to Uhuru Peak depends on each climber’s condition, weather and the guide’s decision. Descend via Kibo to Horombo for the night. This is the longest and most demanding day; reaching the summit is never guaranteed.
Descend through moorland and forest to Marangu Gate, complete park formalities and meet your transfer back to Arusha. Arrival timing depends on the pace of descent and road conditions. Reserve an Arusha hotel night separately and schedule onward flights with a suitable buffer rather than assuming a same-day airport connection.
