Following this, the group will travel by vehicle (approximately 3-4 hours) to the western entrance of the national park at Londorossi Gate (2,200 m). After completing the necessary formalities for climbing permits and registration with Search and Rescue, the trek to the first camp, Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,780m), begins.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira 1 Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - An early start with breakfast is followed by a gradual climb to 3,500 meters, offering the first breathtaking views of Shira Plateau and Kibo Volcano. The transition from Mti Mkubwa Camp to the second high-altitude Shira 1 Camp (3,505m) is generally easy and takes about 5-6 hours. This allows for gradual acclimatization, which is crucial for a successful trek. Upon reaching the camp, the team will prepare lunch, and there will be time to rest in tents or explore the area.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Shira 1 Camp to Shira 2 Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - Departing from Shira 1 Camp (3,505m), the group embarks on a light trek to the second high camp, Shira 2 Camp (3,900m). This trek is not challenging and offers spectacular views of Africa and the unique flora of Kilimanjaro and its surroundings. Shira 2 Camp is an excellent spot to view Mount Meru (Africa’s fifth peak), weather permitting. Upon arrival, lunch is served, followed by a 2-hour acclimatization hike to Lava Tower Camp, which provides an elevation gain of 300 meters.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Shira Camp 2 to Lava Tower and Down to Barranco Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - After breakfast, the group leaves Shira 2 Camp (3,900m) and heads to the key point of the route: Lava Tower (4,630m). This section involves several climbs and descents, culminating in a camp at over 15,000 feet. Although it may be challenging and slightly uncomfortable, spending 1-2 hours here is essential for acclimatization, so lunch is served at this location. The descent then continues to Barranco Camp (3,960 m), where the famous Barranco Wall can be seen, impressive for its size and steepness. The wall will be climbed the next day, but there is an easy hiking trail.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - An early start with breakfast precedes the climb of the Barranco Wall (leaving camp early is recommended to avoid crowds). The climb is not difficult and takes about an hour. Afterward, there is time to rest and take photos in front of the Kibo Volcano. The journey then continues with a more challenging hike to Karanga Camp, featuring several ups and downs, but the guides are skilled at setting an optimal pace for the group. Upon arrival at the camp, a hot lunch is provided. After a few hours, an acclimatization hike to Barafu Camp with an elevation gain of 200m is required, followed by a return to the camp.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - After breakfast, the group heads to Barafu Summit Camp (4,640m), the starting point for the night ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895m). The team will have set up camp in advance, including tents and sleeping bags, allowing for relaxation. After resting, an acclimatization trek to Kosovo Summit Intermediate Camp (4,800m) is undertaken, followed by a return to Barafu Camp for a hot dinner. The remainder of the day is best spent resting and sleeping in preparation for the night ascent.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour: Ascent to Uhuru Peak and Descent to Millennium Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - The ascent from Barafu Camp (4,640 m) to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) begins at night. The climb is technically straightforward, but the high altitude presents the main challenge. Each pair of climbers is accompanied by a personal guide who monitors their physical and mental condition. After reaching Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kilimanjaro and the final point of the Lemosho route ascent, climbers may choose to descend to the nearest glacier. The return to Barafu Camp is followed by a 2-hour rest before continuing the descent to Millennium Camp (3,820m).

Kilimanjaro Descent: Millennium Camp to Mweka Gate and then to Moshi

Mount Kilimanjaro - Located in a tropical rainforest, the campsite offers a sense of relief from the reduced altitude and the satisfaction of reaching the summit. After a hot breakfast, the group proceeds to the park exit at Mweka Gate (1650m). Following the descent, the entire group gathers for congratulations, and there is an opportunity to share thoughts on the ascent in the guest book. Finally, commemorative certificates are presented at the office, and a return transfer to the hotel is provided.
