You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your hotel in Moshi. After arrival, you can relax and prepare for your upcoming adventure. Overnight stay at the hotel.

The drive to the park gate takes approximately one hour and passes through the town of Machame. Once you're ready, the ascent through the rainforest begins on a winding path that can be muddy and slippery. Overnight accommodation is at Machame Camp at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

Today you'll also gain some altitude, enjoying beautiful views of the rainforests, as well as Kibo and Mawenzi. The higher you climb, the more clearly you'll see the landscape changing. The trees become smaller, and the typical Kilimanjaro flora appears. The trail then leads across the Shira Plateau to Shira Camp, where you can relax for the rest of the day.

After breakfast, you'll reach the striking Lava Tower (4,630 m). From there, you'll descend into the Barranco Valley. The camp is located there, offering a breathtaking view of Kibo. Use the rest of the day for rest and acclimatization.

On the eastern side of the valley lies the so-called Barranco Wall. This 300-meter-high "wall" of volcanic rock will present your first challenge. Besides good physical condition, sure-footedness is essential. After the exertion, a breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro's ice awaits you at the top. The route then leads back down to the Karanga Valley, where you can spend the rest of the day.

You can take it a bit easier today. After breakfast, hike to the Barafu Hut, located at an altitude of 4,600 m. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy the views of Mawenzi and Kibo. Use this day to rest and acclimatize in preparation for tomorrow's summit attempt.

At midnight, you begin your summit ascent. You traverse a seemingly endless, steep scree slope that leads you between the Rebmann and Tarzel glaciers to Stella Point (5,740 m), located directly on the crater rim. From here, it's not far to Uhuru Peak (5,898 m). After a long climb, you reach the highest point in Africa just as the sun rises – an unforgettable moment, despite all the effort. The descent follows the Mweka Route and leads largely across lava fields. After a lunch break at Barafu Camp, the descent continues at 3,100 meters to Mweka Camp, where you can recover from your exertions.

The final leg takes you back to Mweka Gate. Here you say goodbye to your crew and Kilimanjaro. A transfer will then take you back to your hotel in Moshi.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport, from where you can begin your journey home or extend your stay. We would be happy to assist you in planning a safari and/or a beach extension in Zanzibar.

Overnight stays are in tents, providing a true sense of adventure and allowing you to experience nature up close. The varied elevation profile makes the hike particularly appealing. You'll be guided through a multitude of landscapes, each impressing with its beauty and diversity. At the same time, the route offers excellent opportunities for acclimatization, ensuring you reach the summit safely and well-prepared. A special advantage of the tour is the option to use two different routes for the ascent and descent, making the experience even more exciting and varied. In some sections, you'll encounter rocky passages where sure footing is essential for safe progress.
