Your guide picks you up in the morning and takes you on an approximately 4-hour drive to the Londorossi Gate, the west entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park. The road leads through a beautiful tropical rainforest. You arrive at the drop-off point at 3,500 meters where you can enjoy an amazing view of the Shira plateau for the first time. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and acclimatize to the high altitude while you prepare for an exciting adventure.
- Altitude: 2,200 m – 2,780 m
- Hiking distance: 7 km
- Hiking time: 5 hours time
On this second day on the mountain, the Lemosho route joins the Machame route. The hike leads from Shira 2 Camp to the beautiful Lava Tower at 4,630 m (15,190 ft).
This part of the climb has many ascents and descents but offers beautiful views along the way. It is a long hike and you may start to feel a bit uncomfortable because of the height. It is therefore important to find the right pace for your body to adjust to the altitude. After lunch, you descend to Barranco Camp at the foot of Barranco Wall
- Altitude: 2,200 m – 2,780 m
- Hiking distance: 7 km
- Hiking time: 5 hours time
For many people, this is their favourite part of the climb: going from Barranco Camp to the Barranco Wall. Once there, you have a spectacular view of the Kibo Volcano and Mount Meru.
Afterwards, a more difficult hike starts to reach Karanga Camp. This route has many ascents and descents, so keep the right pace. You have lunch at the camp and after a rest, you can take an acclimatization hike in the direction of Barafu Camp.
- Altitude: 2,200 m – 2,780 m
- Hiking distance: 7 km
- Hiking time: 5 hours time
After breakfast the hike to Barafu Camp starts. This is the starting point for your ascent to the Uhuru Peak - the top of Kilimanjaro! You arrive at the camp around lunch. Have a rest and after you regain your strength, take an acclimatization hike to Kosovo Summit Camp (4,870m) and back.
Enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and experience the thrill of high-altitude camping as you prepare for the final push to the summit around midnight.
- Altitude: 2,200 m – 2,780 m
- Hiking distance: 7 km
- Hiking time: 5 hours time
Today is the day! Around midnight you start from Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak. The climb leads over good trails and the most challenging part is the high altitude.
Once you reach the summit, you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise, which is quite impressive at this height! After a short time at the top, where you celebrate your ultimate triumph, you descend slowly to the scenic Millennium Camp.
- Altitude: 2,200 m – 2,780 m
- Hiking distance: 7 km
- Hiking time: 5 hours time
The Millenium Camp is located in a tropical rainforest. When you wake up today, you feel a sense of relief from the reduced altitude and satisfaction from reaching the summit. After breakfast, you take an easy walk to the park exit.
Your driver then brings you back to the hotel for a well-deserved rest!
