Meet your professional mountain guide at your hotel in Arusha town at 8:00 AM, then drive to Machame gate. The journey passes through the village of Machame, which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain.

Day 2: Machame Camp to Shira Camp
Leave the glades of the rainforest and continue on an ascending path, crossing the little valley walking along a steep rocky ridge, covered with heather, until the ridge ends. The route now turns west onto a river gorge. Rest, have dinner, and overnight at the Shira campsite.

Day 3: Shira Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
Continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As you continue, your direction changes to the southeast towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth.” Shortly after the tower, come to the second junction which brings you up to the Arrow Glacier at an altitude of 16,000 feet. Continue down to the Barranco camp at an altitude of 13,000 feet. Rest, enjoy dinner, and overnight.

Day 4: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
