TOUR OVERVIEW

Start and end in Arusha, the tour Marangu Route, Gold Level Premium Climb is a guided adventure tour that takes 7 days. You will travel through Uhuru Peak, Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut and 3 other destinations in Tanzania. Marangu Route, Gold Level Premium Climb is a group tour which includes accommodation, meals and others.

Our Marangu Climbing Itinerary will bring you beautiful views and each day of walking progresses through a different climate zone, adding considerably to the interest of the trek. The real highlight is the walk from Gillman’s point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that occupy most of the summit area. The views as the sun rises behind Mawenzi on a clear morning are absolutely magnificent – The Rift Valley, Mt. Meru and the Masai Steppes stand out from the endless plains, almost three vertical miles below. All guides have "Wilderness First Responder" and "Wilderness First Aid" certificates, along with over 7 years of experience in climbing. At the end of the tour, you will receive an International certificate for a successful ascent!
