The trip will begin from Kilimanjaro International Airport, which is located near Arusha in northern Tanzania. You will be received at Kilimanjaro International Airport and delivered to the beautiful and elegant hotel where you will spend the rest of the evening in Arusha
At night, you’ll talk about Kilimanjaro’s flight plan, which will be via Machami Road, and you’ll have time to check your flight equipment for the next day. You can spend the rest of the day in the hotel’s gardens relaxing like resting under the huge trees of Africa’s natural environment. We can also book a transport to take you downtown Arusha to explore the city and walk around its local market. We’ll have dinner together at the hotel restaurant and exchange conversations with our local escorts.
After breakfast, we will take private vehicles to Kilimanjaro. At the gate, we will sign in and, after the formalities, start off from Machame gate. This day hike is through verdant Afroae forest to Machame Camp, and en route we will stop and have a picnic lunch. We’ll be spending the night at Machame Camp (2, 980 m).
From Machame Camp we’ll take on a relatively steep hike to Shira Camp, gaining altitude rather quickly. What we’re passing through is called the heath zone, where attractive helichrysum and lobelia plants become apparent. Various geologic features can be seen today from lava tubes to glacial valleys. We’ll be stopping for a picnic lunch along the trail if weather and time permit. We’ll be spending the night at at Shira Camp (3,840 m).
This day is a ‘walk high, sleep low’ kind of day. We ascend into alpine desert and have a picnic lunch en route. For those feeling an extra burst of strength, you can even head up to Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp at 3,950 m. It is a long day, but the next time we head to this altitude is in two days’ time – great acclimatization day! We’ll be spending the night at Barranco Camp (3,950 m).
From Barranco Camp, famous for its giant groundsels, we will ascend the Barranco Wall and hike glacial valleys to Karanga Camp. It’s a relatively short day– we’ll be having lunch at Karanga Camp and, in the afternoon, taking a walk with our guides for great views of the southern walls of Kibo and deep glacial valleys. We’ll be spending the night at Karanaga Camp (3,930 m).
This is another half-day as we ascend to Barafu Camp at 4,550 m. We’ll be having lunch at the camp again, allowing us plenty of time to relax before the summit bid. Desolate alpine desert and at times strong winds rip over this camp and yet, in the evening, splendid views of Mawenzi volcano are the norm. We’ll eat a relatively early dinner before heading to rest for the evening and spending the night at Barafu Camp (4,550 m).
Most people depart just before midnight for the final summit bid. Patience and persistence is the name of game to reach the summit, and by dawn – as the first rays of light start to appear – most arrive near the rim. Ascending via Stella Point affords a relatively short final section to Uhuru peak, the roof of Africa, at 5,895 m! What goes up must come down, and our goal this day is to reach Mweka Camp. We’ll be spending the night at Mweka Camp (3,100 m). If we are late summiting then we may camp at the closer Millennium Camp.
After breakfast, we descend once again through montane forest and say farewell to the rest of the crew ahead of our midday pickup and transfer to the hotel for a well-deserved shower. We have the rest of the day to chill at the pool and celebrate in town or at the hotel
After breakfast and based on your flight timing, you will be taken to the airport for your flight back home.
