Lemosho Glades to Big Tree Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - Guests will be collected from their hotel in Moshi around 08:00 am and transported to the Lemosho route at Londorosi gate, situated on Kilimanjaro’s western side. Following registration, the climb begins through the lush forests of the Lemosho glades, leading to Big Tree Camp for an overnight stay.

Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - Today involves covering significant ground as trekkers traverse a plateau of grassy moorland and heather, dotted with volcanic rock formations. The journey passes through Shira 1 Camp, offering frequent views of Kibo Peak amidst the clouds, en route to Shira 2. The trek gains considerable altitude towards Shira 1, with some steep sections. Approaching Shira 2, trekkers can view the Northern Ice fields from the mountain’s western side, providing unique perspectives of Kibo. The steady climb across the Shira Plateau’s moorland aids acclimatization, offering stunning panoramic views.

Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - The trek begins with an ascent offering expansive panoramic views, entering the upland desert climatic zone and traversing lava ridges beneath the Western Breach glaciers. The distinct pinnacle of the Lava Tower (4640 m) marks the day’s high point, an ideal lunch spot. In the afternoon, a steep descent leads to the night’s camp at the base of the Great Barranco Valley (3960 m), sheltered by towering cliffs yet offering extensive views of the plains below.

Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - The day starts with a descent into the Great Barranco, a vast ravine. The route then ascends steeply up the Great Barranco Wall, separating trekkers from Kibo’s southeastern slopes. The climb involves rock scrambling, which is not technical but can be long and tiring. Passing beneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers, the path leads to the Karanga valley. From there, a steep climb ascends from the valley to the night’s camp at Karanga Camp, situated at 3963m. For those feeling energetic, a mid-afternoon acclimatization trek to around 4200m is available before returning to camp for the night.

Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - After a restful night and breakfast, the journey continues to Barafu Camp at 4640m. The climb traverses barren scree slopes devoid of vegetation. The steep ascent is challenging, intensified by the altitude. Upon reaching camp, trekkers eat and rest in preparation for the demanding night and day ahead. Staying hydrated and warm is crucial. An early dinner is followed by an attempt to sleep, as the climb to the summit begins between 11 pm and 12 am.

Barafu Camp to UHURU PEAK to Mweka Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - The ascent begins around midnight, climbing steeply towards the summit glaciers. The trek involves 4 to 5 hours of scree climbing, gaining significant height over a short distance. The views are spectacular. Trekkers should reach the crater rim at Stella Point (5739m) as the sun’s first rays appear. Surrounded by stunning ice cliffs within the crater, the views of jagged Mawenzi peak and beyond are breathtaking. An additional hour’s walk leads to the summit, Uhuru Peak (5895m). The descent begins by returning to Stella Point, then descending the scree slope and track back to Barafu Camp for breakfast, before continuing down to Mweka Camp for a well-deserved rest.
