Impressive active volcano ( sagred for the Masai) of white lava that reaches about 2700m It's best to hike overnight the 1600 mt to the top to see the Sunrise over Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru Can be hiked up without technical equipment. Good and stable boots are recommended, and a lot of water Amazing views from top

The only active volcano in East Africa and the only one in the world that produces Natron carbonatite lava which is the coolest lava of about 510 to 600 degrees Celsius. It is about 10 hours hike depending on your pace. 6 hours ascending and 4 hours descending. The distance is about 5.6 kilometers and about 1700 meters elevation starting at the altitude of 1200 meters and the summit is 2887 meters. The last eruption was September 2007 to April 2008. HIKING GEARS 1. Proper hiking boots 2. Hiking sticks 3. Headlights 4. Gloves 5. Warm clothes (3 layers for uper body and 1 layer for lower body) 6. Water (3 liters per person) 7. Hats 8. Sunscreen

This is by far the hardest hike (climb is actually a better word) I have ever done, physically but mainly mentally. I have intermediate hiking experience. The climb (especially the last part before the summit) is very steep and technical. Because of this we went pretty slow so physically it was hard but doable. However, the mental part was very hard. This climb is not for the faint hearted and is dangerous as there are no safety ropes. In Europe this would have been a via ferata or klettersteig route. In total it took us almost 12 hours. If a local tells you that this hike is easy or intermediate, don't believe that because they only want your money. The views were amazing and the crater itself is also beautifull. This made it all worth it, but please be warned that this a very demanding hike. I don't want to demotivate anyone, I just want to write a realistic review. If you like such a challenge: enjoy this adventurous hike! If you're afraid of heights: it might be smart to skip this one.

Incredible experience, I would highly recommend but it’s not for the faint hearted. The climb takes place at night and is very steep. You get to the summit for sunrise and the views are stunning. I was unprepared for the hike with no walking stick and having to use my phone torch as a light. Pack plenty of layers as the summit gets quite cold. I’d recommend having a rest day after as its very tiring

It's a very taff hike. We needed 5 hours to get up and 3 hours to get down. But the view and the active Vulkan are definitely worth it. You need to pay like 70$ for the trip up there and some fees around 20-30$ because you are in the area even though it is not a Nationalparks. They just want your money... If you feel fit we can recommend the hike you can also do it at your own speed just be prepare some warm cloth and the beginning and the end you're sweating like crazy and on top you feel very cold.

Probably the hardest hike I have ever attempted. However, the reward seeing mini explosions at the volcano at sunrise was completely worth it. At the top it is extremely windy, thus freezing, take some extra layer to be on the safe side. The hike is also quite dangerous as the steepest parts are about 50°, and the safety ropes don't exist. One bad step and you can become a statistic. Considering that the hike permit alone cost 93-123 USD per person, adding safety rope should be a must.
