The drive from Moshi to the trailhead takes about 3 hours. We hike through the rain
forest on a winding trail up a ridge. At lower elevations the trail can be muddy and
slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance
until we reach the Shira Camp.

From the Shira Plateau we continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards
the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the
Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth” (elev 4650m/15,250ft). Shortly after the tower
we come to the second junction which goes to the Arrow Glacier. We now continue down
to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you
began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for
summit day.

• Distance: 10km/6mi
• Walking Time: 5-6 hours

After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge up the Barranco Wall to
the Karanga Valley and the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail.

We continue up to the Barafu Camp. You have completed the South Circuit, which offers
views of the summit from many different angles. Here we make camp, rest, enjoy dinner,
and prepare for the summit day.

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit
between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and
ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most
mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point you will stop for a
short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to
see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit.
From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the
summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro
and the continent of Africa!
From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp,
stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose
gravel going down. We arrive at Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the
mountain. • Elevation: 4700m/15,350ft to 5895m/19,340ft
• Down to 3090m/10,150ft
• Distance: 5km/3mi up / 13km/8mi down
• Hiking Time: 5-7 hours up / 5-6 hours down
• Habitat: Stone scree and ice-capped summit

After breakfast we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your
summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking
poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and
warmer clothing handy). From the gate, continue another hour to Mweka Village. A
vehicle will meet you at Mweka gate to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi (about 30
minutes).
