Watch the sunrise at Gilman’s Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro
On your quest to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, enjoy a magical moment watching the sunrise from Gilman’s Peak. This is a highlight of the eight-day Rongai route, which is one of the easiest and most scenic treks up Kilimanjaro. After days of hiking through montane rainforest, moorland and alpine desert, you’ll wake the evening before summit day at 11.30pm for tea and biscuits before beginning your slow shuffle towards the peak.
Due to the freezing temperature, altitude and steep path, you’ll move very slowly – poli poli – through the darkness. After a brief rest stop at Hans Meyer Cave, the rocky path zigzags up to Gilman’s Point, which sits at 5,756 metres above sea level on the crater rim. It’s the most challenging part of the trek but you get such a sense of achievement when you arrive to watch the sun rise and the sky change colour above the clouds.
