Hiking Time: 3–4 hours
Highlights: Rainforest hiking, diverse wildlife, including colobus monkeys

After breakfast, set out on a scenic drive to Londorossi Gate, where you’ll complete registration and meet your mountain crew. From here, a short transfer leads to the Lemosho trailhead, the starting point of your trek.

The first section of the trail winds through dense rainforest, a habitat rich with towering trees, tropical plants, and unique wildlife. Along the way, you may spot black-and-white colobus monkeys swinging through the treetops and hear the calls of exotic birds.

Your trek today is relatively short, giving you time to adjust to the trail and enjoy the serene surroundings. By late afternoon, you’ll reach Mti Mkubwa Camp (Big Tree Camp), where a warm meal and a peaceful night’s rest under the forest canopy await.

Hiking Time: 4–5 hours
Highlights: Acclimatization hike, vast mountain landscapes, breathtaking sunsets

Today’s trek is a relatively moderate journey across the high-altitude Shira Plateau. You’ll gradually gain elevation, giving your body time to adjust while still covering significant ground. The landscape is open and exposed, with occasional sightings of endemic plant species such as giant lobelias and everlasting flowers.

Upon reaching Shira 2 Camp, you’ll have the chance to explore the surrounding area and take in unobstructed views of Kibo Peak, the highest part of Kilimanjaro. The afternoon is dedicated to rest and acclimatization, as your body prepares for higher altitudes in the coming days.

Hiking Time: 4–5 hours
Highlights: Climbing the famous Barranco Wall, panoramic views of glaciers

The morning begins with an exciting challenge—scaling the Barranco Wall. Though it appears steep, this climb is not technical, and with careful foot placement and the support of your guide, you’ll reach the top for a spectacular view of the surrounding glaciers and valleys.

The rest of the trek is a gentle ascent and descent over rolling ridges, leading to Karanga Camp. This relatively short trekking day allows for extra acclimatization and rest, preparing you for the higher altitudes ahead.

Hiking Time: 13–16 hours
Highlights: Reaching Africa’s highest peak, sunrise over the glaciers, long descent

Your summit attempt begins in the early hours of the morning. With headlamps lighting the way, you’ll make the slow, steady climb toward Stella Point (5,756 m), where the first rays of sunrise will begin to illuminate the sky.

A final push leads to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the highest point in Africa. Standing at the summit is an incredible and emotional experience, with panoramic views stretching far beyond the horizon.

After taking in the moment and capturing some photos, you’ll begin the long descent back to Barafu Camp, where you’ll rest briefly before continuing down to Mweka Camp for your final night on the mountain.

Today marks the end of your unforgettable adventure. After breakfast, take a moment to relax and reflect on your journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you're ready, we’ll transfer you to the airport for your flight home, leaving Tanzania with incredible memories and a great sense of achievement.
