DAY 1: Rongai Gate to Rongai Cave Start your trek from Rongai Gate, driving from Moshi to Marangu Gate for permits before heading to the trailhead. Hike through rainforest habitat, home to black and white colobus monkeys, for about 3-4 hours, covering a distance of 8 km/5 miles.
DAY 2: Rongai Cave to Kikelewa Cave Continue trekking through heath habitat from Rongai Cave to Second Cave, then to Kikelewa Cave, passing by the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Hiking time is about 3-4 hours, covering a distance of 12 km/8 miles.
DAY 3: Kikelewa Cave to Mawenzi Tarn Ascend steeply through grassy slopes from Kikelewa Cave to Mawenzi Tarn, transitioning from heath to alpine desert habitat. Enjoy stunning views of the wilderness area during the 3-4 hour hike covering 5 km/3 miles.
DAY 4: Mawenzi Tarn to Mawenzi Ridge Take an extra day for acclimatization, spending time day hiking on Mawenzi Ridge and enjoying motivating views of Kibo and Mawenzi. After a 1-2 hour hike, return to Mawenzi Tarn for camp.
