Day 1 Moshi - Machame Gate
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Moshi - Machame Gate

A short drive brings us to the Machame trailhead (~5,380’). After the climbers and crew have checked in with the park rangers, we will hike up through the montane forests, winding up the mossy jungle, and making our way to Machame Hut camp.

Hiking: 5–7 hours

Overnight Altitude: ~9,350′
Day 2 Machame Camp - Shira Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

After breakfast, our hike continues through the forest. We will take our time, soaking in the scenery as we make our way through the moorlands. We will be treated to spectacular views of Kibo Peak.

Hiking: 4–6 hours

Overnight Altitude: ~12,500′
Day 3 Shira Camp - Barranco Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Shira Camp - Barranco Camp

Today is a long day but lots of acclimatization as you climb high, sleep low. We will take an acclimatization hike to Lava Tower (~15,190’) for lunch, before descending to the Barranco valley. For those who have energy, and if time and weather permit, there’s the possibility to scramble up the Lava Tower itself. The scenery is amazing today, passing through different zones of the mountain.

Hiking: 6–8 hours

Overnight Altitude: ~13,044′
Day 4 Karanga Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Karanga Camp

Today you’ll continue to acclimatize and let your body adjust to these higher altitudes, in preparation for your upcoming summit push. Climb the steep Barranco Wall and then go up and down several ridges and valleys before arriving at Karanga camp. There will likely be time for an acclimatization hike in the afternoon.

Hiking: 4–5 hours

Overnight Altitude: ~13,106
Day 5 Barafu Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Barafu Camp

Today you’ll continue your circuit and arrive at your final camp before the summit (Barafu camp). Some ups and downs along ridges and valleys along the way. You’ll have an early supper, sleep for a few hours, and then arise at about 11:00 PM to start tomorrow’s summit ascent.

Hiking: 3–4 hours

Overnight Altitude: ~15,331′
Day 6 Summit Uhuru Camp - Mweka Camp
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Summit Uhuru Camp - Mweka Camp

Start hiking at around midnight, using your headlamps to lead the way slowly up to Stella Point and then the summit. Due to the altitude, you will hike slowly, and will need to dress warmly for the cold. After celebrating with photos at the summit, descend down to Mweka camp.

Hiking: 6–7 hours ascent to the summit, then 6–9 hours of descent

Summit: ~19,341′

Overnight Altitude: ~10,500′
