Day 1 : Lemosho Gate (2385m) to Big Tree Camp (2780m)
Your Kilimanjaro journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel around 09:30 am, followed by a transfer to the Lemosho Gate on the western side of the mountain. After completing the registration process, we’ll start our climb through the lush forests of the Lemosho Glades. We’ll steadily ascend to Big Tree Camp, where you’ll spend the night.
Distance Covered: 7 km / 4.3 mi
Approximate Time: 4 hours
Day 2 : Big Tree Camp (2780m) to Shira 2 Camp (3900m)
Today’s trek will take you across the expansive Shira Plateau, where you'll traverse grassy moorlands and heather interspersed with volcanic rock formations. We’ll pass through Shira 1 Camp, where you might catch glimpses of Kibo Peak emerging from the clouds. The ascent includes some steep sections as we climb toward Shira 2 Camp.
As we progress, you’ll enjoy views of the Northern Ice Fields from the western side of the mountain and experience unique perspectives of Kibo. The steady climb across the Shira Plateau not only offers stunning panoramic vistas but also aids in acclimatization.
Distance Covered: 16.5 km / 10.3 mi
Approximate Time: 9 – 11 hours
Day 3 : Shira 2 Camp (3900m) to Barranco Camp (3960m)
Today’s trek begins with a climb offering expansive panoramic views as you move into the upland desert zone and traverse lava ridges beneath the glaciers of the Western Breach. We’ll reach the distinctive Lava Tower (4640m), our highest point for the day, where you can enjoy a well-deserved lunch amidst stunning surroundings.
In the afternoon, we’ll descend steeply to Barranco Camp, nestled at the base of the Great Barranco Valley (3960m). This camp is sheltered by towering cliffs and provides magnificent views of the plains below.
Distance Covered: 10 km / 6.2 mi
Approximate Time: 7 hours
Day 4 : Barranco Camp (3960m) to Karanga Camp (3963m)
Today begins with a descent into the Great Barranco, a vast ravine, followed by a challenging ascent up the Great Barranco Wall. This climb, while not technical, is long and demanding as it separates us from the southeastern slopes of Kibo.
We’ll traverse beneath the Heim and Kersten glaciers before heading into the Karanga Valley. From here, a steep climb will bring us to Karanga Camp, situated at 3963m. For those with extra energy, we offer a mid-afternoon acclimatization trek up to around 4200m before returning to camp for the night.
Distance Covered: 5.5 km / 3.4 mi
Approximate Time: 5 hours
Day 5 : Karanga Camp (3963m) to Barafu Camp (4640m)
After a good night’s rest and a hearty breakfast, we embark on the trek to Barafu Camp at 4640m. This climb takes us across barren scree slopes with no vegetation, making for a challenging and steep ascent, further intensified by the altitude.
Upon arrival at Barafu Camp, we will have a meal and spend the afternoon resting to conserve energy. It’s crucial to stay hydrated and warm in preparation for the long and demanding summit climb ahead. We’ll have an early dinner and aim to get some rest before starting our ascent to the summit between 11 pm and midnight.
Distance Covered: 3 km / 1.9 mi
Approximate Time: 3 hours
Day 6 : Barafu Camp (4640m) to Uhuru Peak (5895m) & Descend to Millennium Camp (3790m)
We begin our ascent around midnight, starting with a steep climb up to the summit glaciers. The trek through scree is challenging, but the rapid altitude gain offers breathtaking views. After 4 to 5 hours of climbing, we will reach the crater rim at Stella Point (5739m) as the first rays of dawn illuminate the landscape. Here, we are surrounded by spectacular ice cliffs and have stunning views of the jagged Mawenzi Peak and beyond.
From Stella Point, it’s another hour of climbing to reach Uhuru Peak (5895m), the highest point in Africa. After celebrating our achievement, we descend by retracing our steps to Stella Point and then continuing down the scree slope back to Barafu Camp for breakfast. We conclude our day by heading down further to Millennium Camp (3790m) for a well-deserved and restful night.
Distance Covered: 13.4 km / 8.3 mi
Approximate Time: 12 – 15 hours
Day 7 : Millennium Camp (3790m) to Mweka Gate (1630m)
Enjoy a gentle trek as we descend through lush rainforest to Mweka Gate. Here, we complete park formalities and receive your well-earned certificates—souvenirs to proudly display your accomplishment!
Afterward, our vehicles will transport you back to your hotel in Moshi. You can unwind and refresh with a hot shower, celebrating the successful completion of your climb.
