to the east Mawenzi peak and between the two snow-capped summit of Kibo
which reaches 5895 meters. It is the roof of Africa. There are several
ways to reach to the top: Marangu route (to the west), it is the most
popular, Machame (to the west), umbwe and mweka (to the south) are
demanding. You will be trekking and not mountain climbing.

November.
How To Get There: From Arusha 2 hour drive and from Moshi a 40
minute drive.
To Do: On the way up, an extra dat between 4,000 and 5,000 meters
will help you avoid altitude sickness before the final ascent. On
the Marangu route, from Horombo, a day trip to zebra rock.
