Day 1 Moshi - Umbwe Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Moshi - Umbwe Camp

This morning you’ll meet your crew, who will be with you at all times during your trip. After a sustaining breakfast you’ll be driven the 45-minute trip from your hotel through a lush landscape of bustling villages and coffee smallholdings sheltered by banana palms to the Umbwe Gate
Day 2 Umbwe Camp - Barranco Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Umbwe Camp - Barranco Camp

After a good, energy-rich breakfast you’ll prepare for today’s climb which takes you out of the rainforest and into the drier, crisper air of moorland broken with rocky outcrops. You’ll ascend through cloud forest, past thinning, moss-entwined trees, glimpsing more and more of the bright blue sky as you ascend the hair-raising and spectacular Umbwe Route ridge with sides that drop steeply until it flattens out near to the Barranco Valley.
Day 3 Barranco Camp - Karanga
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barranco Camp - Karanga

The first thing that greets you this morning is the scaling of the 257 meter Great Barranco Wall, often called the Breakfast Wall as it’s the first thing you’ll do after breakfast! It’s challenging but more of a scramble than a climb and you’ll enjoy a total-body workout. You’ll top out just below the glorious Helm Glacier soaring above you, and from here the views are incredible
Day 4 Karanga - Barafu Hut
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Karanga - Barafu Hut

After a good breakfast, you’ll attack the path that starts climbing as you leave Karanga Camp. The Southern ice fields of Kibo sparkle to your left as you journey through the arid and surreal high alpine landscape, such a contrast to the green lushness of earlier days. The route takes you up a constant climb then shelves into a shallow valley with a short, sharp scramble and hike leading you into Barafu Camp.
Day 5 Barafu Hut - Uhuru Peak - Mweka Gate
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barafu Hut - Uhuru Peak - Mweka Gate

It’s summit day and you’ll be woken at 11 pm for hydration, food, and a quick medical check. You’re very close now, but this section of the climb is the most dangerous. You’ll be climbing a steep gradient of heavy scree in darkness through the night as the temperature drops to below freezing. But as you reach Stellar Point, something amazing begins.
Day 6 Mweka Gate - Moshi
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Mweka Gate - Moshi

With Uhuru Peak a glorious memory far behind you, you’ll begin your hike back to civilization on a full stomach. The slope here is gentler than the ascent at Umbwe, but it can be slippery so watch those knees! You’ll have time to take in the misty cloud forest and perhaps even spot a Colobus monkey. Arriving at Mweka Gate you’ll receive your summit certificates and there’s an opportunity to buy sodas and t-shirts. Our vehicle will take you back to your hotel in Moshi. What a difference a week makes!
