Let the excitement build as you preview your unforgettable journey up Mount Kilimanjaro!

Day 1: Arrival Day Pre-trek Briefng

We will pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Moshi for a pre-trek briefng. You should plan to arrive at least one day before the start of the trek. On this day, we will also review your equipment, and you will have the opportunity to rent any needed equipment.
Hotel: Panama Garden Resort, Double occupancy

Day 2: Transfer from the hotel to Machame Gate

After breakfast and a general briefng regarding your upcoming tour (including equipment check), the frst drive will go to the National Park gate, which takes about an hour. While your guide does the necessary formalities, you can relax and watch the various mountain teams in their preparation. As soon as everything is done, your adventure begins. Soon you will be immersed in the magnifcent mountain forest with its huge jungle trees, ferns, moss carpets, and lianas. You may even observe the black and white colobus monkeys in the treetops. After about 5 – 6 hours, you will reach the day’s destination – Machame Camp. This is just above the tree line at about 3010 meters above sea level. After dinner, you will spend your frst night in Kilimanjaro.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 3: Machame Camp & New Shira Camp

After an early start, you will begin the day’s walk through the heath and moorland before the trail becomes steeper and the landscape more open. You will glimpse the summit region of Kilimanjaro. Today’s stage is shorter and you will soon arrive at the New Shira Camp, where the view of Kilimanjaro with its rock faces and hanging glaciers is something you should not miss – particularly at sunset. An early night will be needed as tomorrow, the trail becomes more strenuous.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: New Shira Camp, Lava Tower & Barranco Camp

Today you will ascend approximately 800 meters, but the night is spent only slightly higher than the previous night at Shira Camp. This allows your body a better acclimatization for the remainder of the climb. The hike begins with a long ascent over the Shira Plateau to the Lava Tower. Here the vegetation becomes barren and turns into an alpine desert landscape. The path then leads through the extensive Barranco Valley, with its lobelias and the huge senecios. After approximately 6-7 hours you will reach the Barranco Camp, which many claim is the most beautiful camp on the mountain.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5: Barranco & Karanga Camps

Today we will lead you through the Barranco Wall and it is another day to help with acclimatization. The climbing is relatively easy, although sometimes you need to use your hands to hold on. Enjoy the amazing views before you reach Karanga Camp after approximately 3-4 hours.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6: Karanga & Barafu Camps

After a leisurely breakfast, you will set off for today’s destination, the Barafu Camp. The hike leads you through a barren landscape and after 3-4 hours, you will reach the camp. For the rest of the day, you can relax because tomorrow is summit day! After dinner, we will have a very early bedtime as tomorrow will be exciting, but also exhausting. Try to sleep a bit!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7: Barafu Camp, Uhuru Peak & Mweka Camp

You will be woken around midnight to have a small snack. Using the light of your headlight, the next few hours are steadily upwards. After approximately 5-7 hours, in the early morning light, you will reach the crater rim at Stella Point. After a short rest, you will continue for about an hour to the highest point, the Uhuru Peak. You have fnally fnished, and are rewarded with fantastic views in all directions. The shadow that the Kilimanjaro casts over Mount Meru in the morning is a special experience. After you have enjoyed the summit, and taken a few memorable photos, it is time for the descent. At the Barafu Camp, you will have a short rest, where your mountain team will greet you with a hot drink and snacks. Afterward, you will slowly go to Mweka Camp, where you will spend the last night at the mountain.
Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 8: Mweka Camp, Mweka Gate & Transfer to the hotel

After breakfast, you will begin a leisurely walk towards the Mweka Gate. The trail continues through the dense rainforest, and after about 2-3 hours you will reach the gate. At this point, it will be time to say goodbye to your team. Once you arrive at the hotel, you can fnally enjoy a well-deserved shower and celebrate your summit success.
