Day 1 Moshi - Lemosho Gate - Big Tree Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Moshi - Lemosho Gate - Big Tree Camp

Explore the first leg of your extraordinary journey as our expert driver whisks you from your hotel to Londorossi Gate (2,250 m) in the morning, a picturesque 2½-hour drive away; following a meticulous registration process with Kilimanjaro National Park officers, a rugged track awaits, leading you into the enchanting rainforest. The initial day’s trek unveils a moderately steep path winding through an unspoiled natural haven, culminating in the tranquil Mkubwa Camp (2,800 m) after approximately 2½ hours, where the day’s exploits find their peaceful end. As the region hosts diverse wildlife, rest assured, an armed ranger will accompany you during the first 2 days, ensuring not only security but also an immersive and memorable experience.
Day 2 Mti Mkubwa Camp - Shira Camp One.
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Mti Mkubwa Camp - Shira Camp One.

On this day trek will start on a small trail that passes through the rainforest. As you climb, the forest gradually thins out and the landscape changes into heath and moorland where plants like Erica and lobelia start to dominate the landscape. You will cross the Shira Ridge and after 4 to 5 hours of trekking, you will reach the Shira Camp 1. Here you will stop for lunch, relax a bit, and enjoy the fantastic views of Mt Meru and the Rift Valley. For the last part of the climb, you will climb another 400 m in altitude. The landscape will change again and at Shira Camp 2(approximately 4 hours). Shira camp 2 is the final destination for this day and you will spend your evening and night there.
Day 3 Shira 1 Camp - Shira 2 Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Shira 1 Camp - Shira 2 Camp

This day you will climb approximately 740 m but you will spend the night at an elevation only slightly higher than the previous night. This will allow your body to cope with the climatic change, as a height of over 4,600 m will be reached before descending again. The trek begins with a long ascent above the Shira Plateau in the direction of the Lava Tower (4,640 m). The climb passes through the wide Barranco Valley which has lobelia and giant Senecio plants. After 6 to 7 hours of walking, you will arrive at the Barranco Camp – perhaps the most beautiful camp on Kilimanjaro.
Day 4 Barranco Camp - Karanga Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barranco Camp - Karanga Camp

After breakfast, you leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge passing the Barranco Wall, to the Karanga Valley campsite. Then, we leave Karanga and hit the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. Karanga camp is situated at an altitude of 4,640 m and will be reached in about 3 to 4 hours. In the afternoon you can relax and stretch your legs in preparation for the upcoming summit night.
Day 5 Karanga Camp - Barafu Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Karanga Camp - Barafu Camp

In this day we continue up to the Barafu Hut. At this point, you have completed the South Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Here we make camp, rest, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the summit day. The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are to be seen from this position.
Day 6 Barafu Camp - Summit - Uhuru - Peak - Mweka Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barafu Camp - Summit - Uhuru - Peak - Mweka Camp

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a north-westerly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point (18,600 ft), you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting). From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Faster hikers will see the sunrise from the summit.

After a short break and taking photos, you will return to Barafu Camp just before midday where the rest of the crew will be waiting for you. You will have a warm lunch and rest for about 1 to 2 hours before you make our way down to the Mweka Camp (3,080 m) about 3 hours away.
Day 7 Mweka Camp - Mweka Gate - Moshi
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Mweka Camp - Mweka Gate - Moshi

After breakfast, we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and T-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy). From the gate, you continue another hour to Mweka Village. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to the hotel in Moshi Tanzania.
