After you arrive at the airport you will find our team representative who will pick you at the
airport, brief you about the hiking requirements, he will also check your hiking gear and transfer
you to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel

After breakfast in the hotel you will be transferred to Machame Gate for entry registration. Your
guide and the porters will prepare and pack your equipment and supplies. After registration at the
park office, you start your ascend to the rain forest immediately. Heavy rains on this side of the
mountains often transform the trail into a soggy, slippery experience, so good footgear, trekking
poles and gaiters are useful. Lunch will be served halfway to the camp. You will reach the
Machame Camp in the late afternoon. Your porters will arrive earlier and will put up your tent
before you arrive, while the cook prepares your dinner. The night temperatures can drop to
freezing point. Accommodation: Machame Camp

After breakfast you climb for an hour to the top of the forest, then two hours through gentle
moorland. After a short lunch and rest, you continue up a rocky ridge onto the Shira Plateau
where you will have the opportunity to see Kilimanjaro Great Western Breach with its stunning
glaciers.

Accommodation: Shira Camp

After breakfast you will walk Eastward through a rocky landscape to reach the prominent
landmark, called “Lava tower”. This chunky remnant of Kilimanjaro earlier volcanic activity is
several hundred feet high and the trail passes right below it. After a lunch stop near Lava Towers
you descend to Barranco Camp. There are numerous photo opportunities on this hike. Barranco
is at a good setting for a memorable sunset while waiting for your dinner. Accommodation:
Barranco Camp

From Barranco Camp, famous for its giant groundsels (Senecio species), you ascend the
Barranco wall and hike glacial valleys to Karanga Camp. Today is a relatively short day hiking
and lunch is taken at Karanga camp. In the afternoon a walk can be taken with your guides for
great views of the Southern walls of Kibo and deep glacial valleys. Accommodation: Karanga
Camp

On this day you climb the Great Barranco Wall. Topping out just below the Heim Glaciers, you
can now appreciate how beautiful the Mount Kilimanjaro really is. The afternoon is for
relaxation and acclimatization. Accommodation: Barafu Camp
Note: Be careful to notice any signs of altitude sickness.

After a quick steaming tea / coffee you ascend to the Uhuru Peak. Your 6 hours climb northwest
up through heavy scree between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers to Stella Point on the crater
rim is the most challenging part of the route for the most climbers. At Stella Points you stop for a
short rest and a chance to see a supremely sanguine sunrise. At Stella Point you join the top part
of the Marangu route. Depending on the season and recent storms you may encounter snow on
your remaining hike along the rim to Uhuru Peak. After a photo shooting you descend back to
Barafu Camp for breakfast and collecting your gear down to Mweka Camp for overnight.
Accommodation: Mweka Camp
The climb starts in the dark with headlamps or flashlights. It will be very cold until you start
descending, so you will need all of your warm layers. This is, by far, the most difficult part of the
trek. Slowly, slowly or “pole, pole” and an optimistic attitude will get you there.

After a well-deserved breakfast you descend to Mweka Gate, where you will be awarded your
certificates. From there you will be transferred to Moshi for after trekking briefing and overnight.
You will arrive in Moshi around lunchtime. Accommodation: Planet Lodge
