Kilimanjaro Airport – Arusha

Arusha - Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be greeted by our transfer driver and taken to the Lodge. The rest of the day is yours to relax at the hotel or explore the town of Arusha. In the evening, you will attend a briefing to prepare for the upcoming trek.

Day 2: Arusha – Machame Gate (1,790 m) – Machame Camp (3,010 m)

Mount Kilimanjaro - After breakfast, you will be picked up at the lodge and taken to the entrance gate of Kilimanjaro National Park. While your guide handles the registration forms, you can watch the mountain team prepare for the climb. Once everything is ready, your Kilimanjaro adventure will begin. Soon, you will find yourself deep within the magnificent mountain rainforest, surrounded by ancient trees, primeval ferns, liana, lichen, and moss that carpets the ground and drapes from the trees. With a bit of luck, you might spot the beautiful black and white colobus monkeys in the treetops. After 5 to 6 hours, you will reach today’s destination – the Machame Camp, situated just above the tree line. Here, at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro, you will have your first dinner followed by an overnight stay in tents.

New Shira Camp (3,845 m) – Lava Tower (4,640 m) – Barranco Camp (3,960 m)

Kilimanjaro National Park - Today, you will climb about 800 m but will camp at an elevation only slightly higher than the previous night. This will help your body acclimatize as you reach heights of over 4,500 m over the next two days. The trek begins with a long ascent above the Shira Plateau towards the Lava Tower. The vegetation becomes sparser as the landscape changes to an afro-alpine desert. The route passes through the sweeping Barranco Valley, home to lobelia and giant senecio plants. After 6 to 7 hours, you will arrive at the most beautiful camp on the mountain – the Barranco Camp.

Following the ridge as it traverses up and down, you can enjoy splendid views of the south glacier of Kibo. In the Karanga Valley, you will have lunch, followed by a 2 to 3-hour climb to Barafu Camp. Once at the camp, you can relax, have dinner, and call it an early night.

Barafu Camp (4,640 m) – Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) – Mweka Camp (3,080 m)

Kilimanjaro National Park - After a cup of hot tea and a light snack, the climb begins around midnight. By torchlight, you will ascend the screes of Kibo. After 5 to 7 hours of climbing in the dark, you will arrive at Stella Point (5,730 m), the crater rim of Mt Kilimanjaro. Another 1 to 2 hours of climbing along the crater ridge will lead you to Uhuru Peak. Here, you will see Kilimanjaro in all its glory, enjoying the 360° view over the landscape below as the sun rises. You are now standing on the “Roof of Africa”. The descent follows almost the same route, and shortly before midday, you should arrive at Barafu Camp, where the porters and the cook will be waiting for you. After a warm meal and a well-deserved break of approximately 1 to 2 hours, you will head down to Mweka Camp, where supper and a well-earned rest await you.
