Embark on a 7-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Follow the Machame route, also known as the “Whiskey” route, which is one of the most popular routes on Kilimanjaro.

Day 1: Moshi to Machame Camp
Begin your adventure with a drive from Moshi to the Machame Gate. Pass through the quaint Machame village located on the southwestern slope of Kilimanjaro. After signing into the national park and all the formalities have been taken care of, begin your trek through the rainforest. Keep your eyes out for wildlife including monkeys on a winding trail up to the Machame Camp.

Day 2: Machame Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Say goodbye to the rainforest and continue on up the path onto a steep, rocky ridge. After passing over the Shira Plateau, the land opens up to heather and moorland before crossing a large river to Shira 2 Camp.

Day 3: Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
Begin with a trek towards the Lava Tower, a 300ft tall volcanic rock formation. Continue down to Barranco Camp through the unique Senecio Forest. This day is special because you’ll begin and end at the same altitude, very beneficial for acclimatization.

Day 4: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Begin the day by heading down into a ravine before tackling the Great Barranco Wall. It’s not a technical climb but it is steep, nearly 900ft of it. From the top, continue the trek twisting and turning before descending sharply into Karanga Valley. After another short but fairly steep climb, reach Karanga Camp.

Day 5: Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Trek towards the route that connects with the Mweka Trail. Then, gradually make your way to Barafu Hut. Today, you will have completed the Southern Circuit, and the views of the Mawenzi and Kibo peaks here are awe-inspiring. Once you make camp, eat, rest, and prepare the bags for summit day.

Day 6: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
At midnight, wake up for a quick snack and get ready to begin the push to the summit. This is the most physically and mentally challenging part of the trek, a true endurance experience. The wind and cold at this elevation and time of day can be extreme. Ascend in darkness for several hours while taking frequent but short breaks.

As you approach Stella Point, begin to feel the heat of the magnificent sunrise appearing over the Mawenzi Peak. Continue on until you finally reach Uhuru Peak, the tip of Mount Kilimanjaro and Africa’s highest point. From the summit, make the descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut campsite, stopping at Barafu for lunch.

Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate
After breakfast, say goodbye to the porters and continue the descent to the Mweka Park Gate to collect the summit certificates. It can be muddy and wet during the walk to lower elevation. Be met at the gate by the local team who will drive you back to the hotel.
