Rise to Uhuru: Join the Summit

Leaving Moshi early, you’ll head to Machame Gate to register and begin your ascent through a lush tropical rainforest. The trail features towering trees and mossy paths, offering a gradual climb to help with acclimatization. After a 5–6 hour trek, you’ll reach Machame Camp at 3,000m. This forest-zone site provides a peaceful setting for your first night on the mountain. Lunch and dinner are included as you settle in for your overnight stay.

Today’s trek focuses on the "climb high, sleep low" strategy to boost acclimatization. You’ll ascend to the 4,630m Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp, situated 3,960m high beneath the stunning Barranco Wall. This 6–7 hour journey is vital for altitude adaptation. Your day includes all meals and an overnight stay at the camp, ensuring you're fueled and rested for the climb ahead.

Post-breakfast, you'll trek 3–4 hours through rocky, exposed terrain to Barafu Camp (4,673 m). As the air thins, take in the dramatic alpine vistas before arriving by early afternoon. This final base is dedicated to recovery: focus on hydrating, resting, and eating an early dinner to fuel your upcoming midnight summit push. All meals are provided as you prepare for the ultimate challenge.
