itinerary Itinerary


Day 1: Arrival at KIA & Transfer to Hotel

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), you'll be greeted by your dedicated team and transferred to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. Take this day to relax, recover from your journey, and attend a pre-climb briefing where your guides will provide essential information about the trek, safety procedures, and gear checks. This is an excellent opportunity to ask any questions and ensure you're fully prepared for the adventure ahead.

Day 2: Lemosho Glades to Big Tree Camp

Your Kilimanjaro journey officially begins! After breakfast, you'll be driven to the Lemosho Glades trailhead. Here, you'll meet your porters and begin your ascent through the lush rainforest. The initial hours are relatively gentle, allowing you to acclimatize to the altitude while enjoying the vibrant flora and fauna. You'll hike for approximately 3-4 hours, reaching Big Tree Camp (2,830m/9,285ft). Settle in, enjoy a hot meal, and rest for the night.

Day 3: Big Tree Camp to Shira Camp 1

Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heather and moorland zone. As you ascend, the views begin to open up, offering glimpses of the surrounding landscapes. The hike is moderately challenging, involving a steady climb for about 5-7 hours. You'll reach Shira Camp 1 (3,505m/11,500ft), situated on the Shira Plateau. The plateau offers stunning views of Kibo, Kilimanjaro's highest peak.

Day 4: Shira Camp 1 to Shira Camp 2

This day is crucial for acclimatization. You'll hike across the Shira Plateau, exploring its unique geological formations and enjoying panoramic views. The terrain is relatively flat, allowing you to adjust to the increasing altitude. After a few hours of hiking, you'll arrive at Shira Camp 2 (3,840m/12,600ft). Spend the afternoon relaxing and hydrating, preparing your body for the higher altitudes ahead.

Day 5: Shira Camp 2 to Barranco Camp via Lava Tower

Today’s hike is another key acclimatization day. You'll ascend to Lava Tower (4,630m/15,190ft), the highest point you'll reach before summit day. The altitude here may present some challenges, but the stunning views are well worth the effort. After spending some time at Lava Tower, you'll descend to Barranco Camp (3,960m/13,000ft). This "climb high, sleep low" approach is excellent for acclimatization and helps prepare you for the summit push.

Day 6: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

Today you'll tackle the Barranco Wall, a steep but non-technical climb. While it might look intimidating, the climb is manageable and offers fantastic views. After conquering the wall, you'll descend into the Karanga Valley and then ascend to Karanga Camp (4,035m/13,238ft). This is a shorter day of hiking, allowing you to rest and recover before the final ascent.

Day 7: Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

This is a shorter trekking day, designed to conserve your energy for the summit. You'll ascend to Barafu Camp (4,640m/15,223ft), a rocky and exposed campsite that serves as the base camp for the summit attempt. After arriving at Barafu, you'll have an early dinner and get some rest, as you'll be waking up in the middle of the night for the final push.

Day 8: Summit Day: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp

The day you've been waiting for! You'll begin your ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895m/19,341ft) around midnight. The hike is challenging, both physically and mentally, as you'll be ascending steep slopes in the dark. Reaching the summit at sunrise is an unforgettable experience. After taking photos and celebrating your achievement, you'll descend to Barafu Camp for a short rest before continuing down to Mweka Camp (3,100m/10,170ft) for the night.

Day 9: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate & Departure

After breakfast, you'll descend through the lush rainforest to Mweka Gate, where you'll receive your summit certificates. You'll then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha for a well-deserved shower and rest. Depending on your travel arrangements, you might depart from KIA on this day or the following day.
