This exclusive 7-day expedition is designed for ambitious climbers who want more than just Uhuru Peak. The Marangu Route serves as your path to summit both Mawenzi Peak (5,149m / 16,893ft) — the second-highest and most rugged volcanic cone on Kilimanjaro — and Uhuru Peak (5,895m / 19,341ft), the highest point in Africa.
Mawenzi Peak is a striking, jagged volcanic spire that offers a unique climbing challenge with its dramatic rock formations and breathtaking panoramic views. This itinerary includes a dedicated acclimatization day that takes you to the base of Mawenzi, combining altitude adjustment with an incredible side adventure.
Why choose this tour? This is the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience for climbers seeking a dual-peak achievement, exceptional scenery, and the comfort of hut accommodation throughout. No technical climbing is required for the Mawenzi ridge hike, but a good fitness level is essential.

What makes this experience exceptional
Summit both Mawenzi Peak (5,149m) and Uhuru Peak (5,895m) — a rare dual-peak accomplishment few Kilimanjaro climbers can claim.
Sleep in comfortable mountain huts throughout the expedition. No camping gear needed — just bring your sleeping bag and sense of adventure.
The acclimatization hike to Mawenzi Ridge offers some of the most spectacular and unique views on Kilimanjaro — towering jagged spires and vast alpine landscapes.
The 7-day itinerary with a dedicated high-altitude hike to Mawenzi Ridge maximizes your body's adaptation, giving you two chances to experience high altitude before summit night.
Mawenzi's dramatic rock formations, the vast Saddle, and the sunrise from Uhuru Peak offer the most photogenic landscapes on the entire mountain.
Fewer than 1% of Kilimanjaro climbers attempt Mawenzi Peak. Join an elite group of adventurers who have conquered not one, but two of Africa's highest peaks.
