Arrival

Kilimanjaro Region - Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our professional team will warmly welcome you to Tanzania and transport you to your hotel in either the Kilimanjaro or Arusha region. This marks the beginning of your journey to the “Roof of Africa” and your Tanzanian adventure. After checking into your hotel and enjoying a brief rest, you will receive a pre-trek briefing from our experienced guide. This session will cover the itinerary, safety protocols, and tips for a successful Kilimanjaro summit, as well as a gear check and what to expect on the trek. For hotel bookings, our operators can recommend accommodations conveniently located near your destination and can arrange your stay before and after the trek.

HIGH-ALTITUDE DROP OFF DESTINATIONS AND TREKKING TO MTI MKUBWA CAMP (2,780m)

Mount Kilimanjaro - Our guide and mountain support crew will meet you at the hotel for introductions and another briefing. You will then be driven from your hotel to the Lendorosi Gate (2,200m). After a quick registration with the rescue service and obtaining a permit, the trek begins with an easy walk through the lush rainforest. The trail winds through this vibrant ecosystem, offering opportunities to spot monkeys, birds, and occasional exotic plants (not guaranteed). The cool, refreshing air and rich greenery will enhance your experience. Upon reaching camp, our professional mountain crew will set up everything necessary, including tents and dinner preparation. Due to a reduction in your waking breathing pattern, your body receives less oxygen than during the day. Pay attention to your body and inform your guide if you experience any symptoms of altitude sickness.
Elevation change to Mti Mkubwa (2,650m/8,700ft).
Distance to camp: 6km/4 miles

This trek is not difficult, allowing you to enjoy spectacular views of Africa and the surrounding areas. Upon reaching camp, you’ll be greeted by the cooler air of the alpine zone and a panoramic view of the majestic Shira plateau. Shira 2 camp is the best place on the trip to see Mount Meru (the fifth highest peak in Africa). Along the way, you’ll have the chance to learn about local Tanzanian culture with your guides through storytelling and Tanzanian songs to keep you motivated to continue hiking Kilimanjaro.

TREKKING FROM BARRANCO CAMP (3,960m) TO KARANGA CAMP (4,035m)

After an early breakfast on day 4, the trek focuses on tackling the iconic Barranco Wall, a steep but non-technical climb through rocky sections and narrow paths. Rest assured, our guides are experts at setting an optimal pace for the group. As you ascend the wall, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of Kilimanjaro’s summit and continue toward Karanga camp (4,035m).

As you reach camp, excitement builds as you prepare for your summit ascent.

Mount Kilimanjaro - The culmination of your journey: Day 6 is the summit day, beginning at midnight as you ascend toward Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the “Roof of Africa.” The trail is challenging with steep sections, but the climb is relatively straightforward. The most challenging aspect is the high altitude, and for added safety, each pair of climbers will have a personal guide. After 6-8 hours of hiking, you’ll reach the summit, where you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views and the immense satisfaction of standing at the highest point in Africa. After enjoying the summit, you will begin the descent through the alpine desert, arriving at Mweka camp to celebrate your achievement.
