Kilimanjaro bike Marangu route

Meet your guide and embark on your transfer to the Marangu gate, which takes about 45 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Marangu, which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. Once you reach the park gate, all hikers are required to register at the park office. After signing in and registering at the Marangu gate, we drive to the Kilema gate. Upon arrival, you will ensure that you have all your daypack items.

OVERNIGHT AT HOROMBO HUT

After an early breakfast, meet your guide and start your ascent into the Alpine desert habitat. The first 3 km of the trail are very rocky, and cycling will be very difficult as this section is very stony and eroded. After about 3 km, the trail improves, and "cycling" will once again be possible. The "Saddle" (which refers to the area located between the peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo) is relatively flat, and cycling is much easier.

At four am, you will be awakened by your guides to start the zigzag trek up the long screen slop. After roughly two hours, you should reach Hans Meyer’s Cave, and from here, the gradient gets steeper. Continue your climb for approximately another three hours to Gilman’s Point. You will take your bike from Porters and start riding to Uhuru Peak. Upon arriving at Uhuru Peak, spend a few minutes taking photos, and then ride down to Stella Point. After lunch, ride down to Horombo.
