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, leave Moshi for Lemosho/Lendorosi Gate, where registration and entry procedures are completed before hiking begins. The first walking section passes through lush rainforest filled with tall trees and natural vegetation. The pace is comfortable, helping you settle into the rhythm of mountain walking. Listen carefully to your guide and avoid rushing.
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 Today is one of the longer trekking days as you leave the forest and enter the open moorland zone. The trail climbs steadily toward the Shira Plateau, where vegetation becomes shorter and the views become wider. On the seven-day route, we continue toward Shira 2 while maintaining a controlled pace. The altitude begins to become more noticeable, so hydration, and slow walking are essential
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 The route leaves Shira 2 and continues across increasingly dry high-altitude terrain toward Barranco Camp. This section is important for acclimatization as the trail gains and loses elevation along the mountain. Walk slowly and keep your energy steady. Views of the upper mountain become increasingly impressive as you approach Barranco.
Barranco Camp

The distance is relatively short, allowing time for a controlled climb and useful rest. After arriving at camp, relax, have lunch, hydrate, and prepare for the higher Barafu section.
Karanga Camp

The short distance can still feel demanding because of the elevation. Walk slowly, conserve energy, and drink regularly. After reaching Barafu, have lunch, organize summit clothing and equipment, and rest before the early summit departure.
Barafu Camp
Barafu to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 5 km ascent / 12 km descent | Hiking time: 7-8 hours ascent / 4-6 hours descent | Climatic habitat: Arctic The summit attempt starts in the coldest part of the mountain.

After reaching the summit, take time to celebrate your achievement and appreciate the surrounding views when conditions allow. Begin the descent toward Mweka Camp, where you can recover after this demanding day.
