Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, our warm and friendly team will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. A welcome dinner is planned, offering the perfect opportunity to meet your fellow travelers.
Your adventure begins with a short drive to the Machame Gate. The ascent kicks off through a lush rainforest, accompanied by the distinctive cries of colobus monkeys. As you climb, the vegetation changes, and the summit of Kilimanjaro comes into view. The day ends at Machame Camp (3,010 m), where you’ll spend the night in tents and enjoy a meal prepared by our chef.
After an hour of trekking, you leave the forest behind, entering a more arid landscape. The gentle pace allows for acclimatization during the next two hours, followed by a lunch break. Crossing a rocky ridge, you’ll reach the Shira Plateau with its stunning views of the Western Breach and glaciers. You’ll camp at Shira Camp 2 (3,840 m) for the night, with time to explore the area despite the chilly temperatures.
Today’s route heads east toward the “Lava Tower,” where you’ll pause for lunch. The terrain becomes barren, and at this altitude (4,630 m), you may start to feel the effects of the thin air. The descent to Barranco Camp (3,960 m) takes you to a valley below the Western Breach and Barranco Wall, offering an awe-inspiring view.
After breakfast, you’ll tackle the famous "Barranco Wall," a 150-meter rock face requiring some scrambling. The day features a mix of ascents and descents before arriving at Karanga Camp (4,035 m) for the night.
A steady climb leads you closer to the glacier as you reach Barafu Camp (4,640 m). Here, tents are set up on a narrow ridge. Careful preparation for the summit attempt is crucial, as you’ll have an early night in anticipation of the next day’s ascent.
At 11:30 PM, the final ascent begins—a six-hour climb to Stella Point (5,685 m). There, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular sunrise. Two more hours of trekking through snow lead you to the summit: Uhuru Peak (5,895 m). After savoring your achievement, you’ll descend to Barafu Camp, followed by another stretch to Mweka Camp (3,090 m), where you’ll spend the night.
After breakfast, you’ll continue downhill to Mweka Gate (1,650 m). A one-hour descent leads to Mweka Village, where transportation back to the hotel awaits. After a refreshing shower, you’ll be presented with a certificate commemorating your accomplishment. The night will be spent at the hotel.
Depending on your flight schedule, you can explore Moshi before being transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport for your departure, taking home unforgettable memories of Tanzania.
