Itinerary

Moshi- Lemosho Gate - Big Tree Camp

Kilimanjaro

Moshi Town to Lemosho/Lendorosi Gate to Big Tree Camp - Stretch: 6 km | Hiking time: 3-4 hours | Climatic habitat: Rain Forest. After breakfast, travel toward the western entrance and complete registration before beginning your hike. The trail enters lush rainforest, where moisture and changing weather are common. Walk gently, observe the surroundings and follow your guide's pace. The day provides a gradual introduction to the mountain environment.

Big Tree Camp

Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp

Kilimanjaro

Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp - Stretch: 18 km | Hiking time: 8-10 hours | Climatic habitat: Moorland. This is a longer hiking day as you leave the forest and climb into the open moorland zone. The vegetation becomes shorter and the landscape more expansive. Keep your walking rhythm comfortable and take regular breaks. As elevation increases, focus on hydration, nutrition and steady movement. The Shira Plateau provides impressive views when conditions are clear.

Shira 2 Camp

Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp

Kilimanjaro

Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp - Stretch: 10 km | Hiking time: 6-8 hours | Climatic habitat: Semi Desert. Continue across high-altitude terrain toward Barranco Camp. The landscape becomes increasingly rugged, with impressive volcanic scenery surrounding the route. This day is important for adapting to elevation, so avoid rushing even when you feel strong. Follow the guide's instructions, drink regularly and communicate any concerns early.

Barranco Camp

Barranco - Karanga to Barafu Camp

Kilimanjaro

Barranco camp to Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp - Stretch: 9 km | Hiking time: 8-10 hours | Climatic habitat: Alpine Desert. Begin by tackling the Barranco Wall before continuing toward Karanga Camp. After a short rest and lunch, proceed across the alpine desert toward Barafu Camp. The environment is increasingly dry, cold and exposed. Once you arrive, settle in, eat well and organize summit clothing and equipment. Rest is especially important because the summit attempt follows.

Kilimanjaro

Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp - Stretch: 5 km ascent / 12 km descent | Hiking time: 7-8 hours ascent / 4-6 hours descent | Climatic habitat: Arctic.

After reaching the summit, begin the descent toward Mweka Camp. The descent is substantial, so maintain concentration and follow your guide's directions.

Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate to Moshi

Kilimanjaro

Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate to Moshi Town - Stretch: 10 km | Hiking time: 3-4 hours | Climatic habitat: Rain Forest.
