Mount Kilimanjaro

After a morning drive to Londorossi Gate (2,100m), you’ll complete registration and continue to the trailhead. The first hike takes you through thick rainforest, alive with monkeys, birds, and colorful plants. After 3–4 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,650m), also known as Big Tree Camp, where you’ll have dinner and settle in for your first night under the stars.

Overnight: Mti Mkubwa Camp

After breakfast, you’ll continue across the Shira Plateau. This easy, scenic hike offers beautiful views of Mawenzi Peak and the rolling plains far below. You’ll cross open moorland dotted with unique alpine plants. After 3–4 hours, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp (3,850m), where you’ll spend the night. This extra day here helps with acclimatization, preparing your body for the higher altitudes ahead.

Overnight: Shira 2 Camp

Start the day climbing the Barranco Wall, a fun and slightly challenging scramble with breathtaking views. From the top, the trail winds through rocky hills and alpine desert, leading to Karanga Camp (4,035m) after 4–5 hours of hiking. This shorter day allows extra rest and acclimatization as you prepare for the summit push.

Overnight: Karanga Camp

At midnight, begin your ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) under a starlit sky. Reach Stella Point (5,756m) by sunrise, then continue to the summit — the highest point in Africa. After photos and celebrations, descend back to Barafu Camp for a brief rest. Continue down to Mweka Gate (1,640m), passing through Mweka Camp and lush rainforest. The full day takes about 12–14 hours. At the gate, collect your climbing certificate and celebrate before transferring back to your hotel.
