What to expect
Day 1: Hotel to Mti Mkubwa Camp
Kilimanjaro National Park
8h
After breakfast and the briefing, we'll drive to Londorossi Park Gate (about a 3-hour drive). From there, a forest track accessible by a 4WD vehicle leads to Lemosho Glades. We'll hike along forest trails to the Mti Mkubwa (big tree) campsite.
Day 2: Mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Kilimanjaro National Park
8h
Following a satisfying breakfast, the trail begins to gently incline, leading us into the expansive heather moorland zone. Along the way, we'll traverse multiple babbling streams and press forward over the prominent Shira Ridge, passing by the Shira 1 campsite. Our journey culminates as we arrive at the serene Shira 2 camp, nestled within moorland meadows beside a meandering stream.

Day 3: Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp

From the Shira Plateau, we continue east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we proceed, our direction shifts southeast towards the Lava Tower, known as the “Shark’s Tooth” (elev. 4650m/15,250ft). After the tower, we head down to the Barranco Camp. This day aids acclimatization for summit day.
Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we ascend towards the summit through scree, reaching Stella Point on the crater rim. After a rest, a one-hour ascent through snow takes us to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro. We descend to Mweka Camp via Barafu for lunch.
