Jambo! Welcome to Tanzania. Your hiking adventure begins in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Moshi.
You’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight for a full briefing and kit inspection by an experienced Kilimanjaro climber. If you arrive early, the hotel is just a short walk from the village’s bustling market and some excellent coffee shops, so you can head out and explore at your own pace. After the meeting, fuel up on a hearty dinner with your fellow trekkers and get a good night’s rest, ready to start your climb tomorrow!

En route, visit a Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project office to learn how they support local porters. Begin your trek around lunchtime, walking through lush rainforest alive with colourful birdlife. In the afternoon, set up camp at Machame with the help of your porters, then enjoy a hot meal before your first night sleeping under the stars on Kilimanjaro.

Day 3: Machame Camp – Shira Camp
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Your second day on the mountain takes you out of the rainforest and up a steep ridge into moor land. Watch as the vegetation grows sparser as you ascend along the path to the Shira Plateau – soon, several distinct species, including the giant groundsel and lobelia, will be the only plants dominating the harsh landscape. Spend the night camping on the edge of the plateau and be treated to a golden sunset over the snow-dusted peaks of Kibo.
Accommodation: Overnight at Shira Camp or similar
Day 4: Shira Camp – Barranco Camp
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
After breakfast today, enjoy a fantastic walk as you continue through the rolling landscape and deep river valleys, stopping for a packed lunch along the way. The undulating land here offers a great chance to acclimatise and as you ascend to the more rugged areas of the mountain, there are great views of the Kibo Massif and its scenic surroundings. Tonight, you’ll sleep at Barranco Camp.
Accommodation: Overnight at Barranco Camp or similar
Day 5: Barranco Camp – Barafu Camp
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Have breakfast together at Barranco Camp this morning, then begin today’s hike. From Karanga, head up to the intersection of the South Circuit and the Mweka route where you’ll start climbing up a ridge to Barafu Hut. Barafu is Swahili for ‘ice’ – as the name suggests, it can be very cold here at night! You should arrive at Barafu around lunchtime, allowing plenty of time to rest before the final summit attempt very early tomorrow morning.
Accommodation: Overnight at Barafu Camp or similar
Day 6: Barafu Camp – Millenium Camp
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
At around midnight, you’ll be woken by the guides with some hot tea and biscuits to give you energy before the long, difficult ascent up scree, and sometimes snow, to Stella Point (5780 m). Pass the giant Rebmann Glacier on the way, and hopefully arrive at Stella Point in time for sunrise and superb views of the crater and the glacier glistening in the morning sun. From Stella, it’s a further 1-hour hike along the rim of the crater to Uhuru Peak (5896 m) – the highest point in Africa! From the summit, take in unforgettable views of the crater, the ice fields and the vast East African plains below. After some photos and well deserved pats on the back, you’ll begin your descent. Back at Barafu Camp, enjoy a well-earned lunch and much thicker air. After, continue to Mweka Camp for the night for a well-deserved rest.
Accommodation: Overnight at Millenium Camp or similar
Day 7 – Millenium Camp – Moshi

Today, you’ll continue to descend the mountain, traversing alpine meadows and rainforest to the Mweka park gate.

Tonight, gather with your trekking companions for dinner, sharing your experiences of the past six days on the mountain.
