Itinerary of your trip 6-Day Shira Plateau Kilimanjaro Route

  • Day 1 Moshi - Londorossi Gate - Shira Camp One
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Moshi - Londorossi Gate - Shira Camp One

      After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi and drive to the Londorossi Gate entry point (about 2 to 4 hours depending on your accommodation). After you have completed the formalities, you will sign into the mountaineering book. Afterward, you will go on by 4ร—4 car to Morum Barrier Gate. Then you start your short first hike at 3500 meters altitude through the heathland to the first camp.

  • Day 2 Shira Camp One
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Shira Camp One

      Today a pleasant hike through the Shira Plain is on the agenda. After an extensive breakfast, you will hike on relatively level paths through the unique heath and moorland landscape with its characteristic giant lobelia plants. This part of the hike is certainly the most beautiful of your entire trip and also serves to acclimatize.

  • Day 3 Shira Camp One - Lava Tower - Barranco Camp
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Shira Camp One - Lava Tower - Barranco Camp

      Today you will climb about 800 meters of altitude. Nevertheless, your destination for today is almost at the same altitude as your starting point, ideal for the acclimatization strategy โ€œclimb high and sleep lowโ€. The hike begins with a long hike over the Shira Plateau towards the Lava Tower. The route leads through the extensive Barranco Valley with its famous alpine climate zone with many unique plants. After 6 hours you reach the Barranco Camp

  • Day 4 Barranco Camp - Barafu Hut
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Barranco Camp - Barafu Hut

      After your breakfast the ascent from Barranco Camp starts at the Great Barranco Wall, then continues to Karanga Valley Camp (4070 m). This site is challenging but offers great views of the southern glaciers of Kibo. From Karanga Valley Camp we continue on a ridge to Barafu Camp (4600 m), your base camp before the summit ascent at night

  • Day 5 Barafu Hut - Uhuru Peak - Mweka Gate
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Barafu Hut - Uhuru Peak - Mweka Gate

      Night ascent with a flashlight from Barafu Camp in the northwestern direction through scree and snow to the summit of Kilimanjaro. After about 6 hours you will first reach Stella Point (5725 m) at the crater rim. Due to the altitude, this is the physically challenging part of the hike. With good visibility, you will experience a magnificent sunrise here. From here you need another hour to reach the summit of Uhuru Peak. Now you stand on the roof of Africa and enjoy the best viewpoint on the continent. Then you descend again to Barafu Camp, rest there for a while, and continue your descent to Mweka Camp (3100 m).

  • Day 6 Mweka Gate - Moshi
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Mweka Gate - Moshi

Your faithful mountain crew will bid you farewell here with a traditional ceremony and your summit certificate. Afterward, you will be brought to your accommodation for a well-deserved drink and dinner.
