07:00 - 07:30

DAY 02: SHIRA CAMP ONE
Today a pleasant hike through the Shira Plain is on the agenda. After an extensive breakfast, you will hike on relatively level paths through the unique heath and moorland landscape with its characteristic giant lobelia plants. This part of the hike is certainly the most beautiful of your entire trip and also serves to acclimatize.

DAY 03 SHIRA CAMP ONE - LAVA TOWER - BARRANCO CAMP
Today you will climb about 800 meters of altitude. Nevertheless, your destination for today is almost at the same altitude as your starting point, ideal for the acclimatization strategy “climb high and sleep low”. The hike begins with a long hike over the Shira Plateau towards the Lava Tower. The route leads through the extensive Barranco Valley with its famous alpine climate zone with many unique plants. After 6 hours you reach the Barranco Camp

DAY 04 BARRANCO CAMP - BARAFU HUT
After breakfast, the ascent from Barranco Camp starts at the Great Barranco Wall, then continues to Karanga Valley Camp (4070 m). This site is challenging but offers great views of the southern glaciers of Kibo. From Karanga Valley Camp we continue on a ridge to Barafu Camp (4600 m), your base camp before the summit ascent at night

DAY 05 BARAFU HUT - UHURU PEAK - MWEKA GATE
Night ascent with a flashlight from Barafu Camp in the northwestern direction through scree and snow to the summit of Kilimanjaro. After about 6 hours you will reach Stella Point (5725 m) at the crater rim. Due to the altitude, this is the physically challenging part of the hike. With good visibility, you will experience a magnificent sunrise here. From here you need another hour to reach the summit of Uhuru Peak. Now you stand on the roof of Africa and enjoy the best viewpoint on the continent. Then you descend again to Barafu Camp, rest there for a while, and continue your descent to Mweka Camp (3100 m).

DAY 06 MWEKA GATE - MOSHI/ARUSHA
The last stage of your hike begins after a hearty breakfast. Afterward, you will walk gently downhill through the tropical rainforest to Mweka Gate. Your faithful mountain crew will bid you farewell here with a traditional ceremony and your summit certificate. Afterward, you will be brought to your accommodation for a well-deserved drink and dinner.
