Itinerary
Moshi to Lemosho Gate To Big Tree
Kilimanjaro
After breakfast, drive from Moshi toward the Lemosho/Lendorosi entrance. Complete the required park procedures before beginning your first walk through the lush rainforest. The trail is shaded, green and rich in mountain vegetation, creating a gentle introduction to the climb. Walk at a comfortable pace and listen to your guide’s instructions from the first step. The goal is not speed but steady progress and good altitude preparation.
Big Tree Camp
Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Kilimanjaro
The trail leaves the forest and moves into open moorland toward the Shira Plateau. On the seven-day route, this stage provides a major transition in scenery and altitude. Walk slowly and maintain an even rhythm as the landscape becomes more open. Shira offers impressive views and a different mountain atmosphere. Keep drinking water regularly and follow the guide’s pace to support acclimatization. Rest well on arrival because the next day continues higher across the mountain.
Shira 2 Camp
Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp
Kilimanjaro
Continue across the high Shira landscape toward Barranco Camp. The route offers dramatic views of Kilimanjaro’s upper slopes while your body adjusts to increasing altitude. Walk high and sleep lower where the itinerary allows, keep your pace slow and stay well hydrated. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Barranco Camp
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Kilimanjaro
Begin with the famous Barranco Wall, then continue toward Karanga Camp. The relatively short distance gives you time to climb carefully, relax and have lunch before settling into camp. The changing alpine desert scenery makes this section memorable and prepares you for the higher camps ahead. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Karanga Camp
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Kilimanjaro
Climb steadily from Karanga toward Barafu Camp, the important staging point for summit night. The distance is short, but altitude makes the walk demanding. Take breaks, eat your lunch and conserve energy. At Barafu, prepare your clothing, headlamp and summit equipment, then rest as much as possible before the midnight or early-morning ascent. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Barafu Camp
Barafu to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Kilimanjaro
Start the summit attempt in darkness and climb slowly toward Stella Point and Uhuru Peak. The final ascent is cold and demanding, so follow your guide carefully. Reach the roof of Africa, take your summit photographs and begin the descent to Mweka Camp. Celebrate your achievement, eat well and recover after the longest day. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Mweka Camp
Mweka to Mweka Gate to Moshi Town
Kilimanjaro
Descend through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, complete park formalities and meet your vehicle for the return journey to Moshi. A warm shower, comfortable bed and well-earned rest await you after completing your Kilimanjaro climb.
