Start your adventure at Machame Gate, entering the lush rainforest of Kilimanjaro. Trek through towering trees, diverse birdlife, and a vibrant ecosystem. The climb is steady but enjoyable, providing a great opportunity to acclimatize. Camp overnight at Machame Camp and enjoy a hearty dinner prepared by your expert cooks.
Today, you leave the rainforest behind and ascend onto the open moorlands. Enjoy stunning views of Kilimanjaro’s slopes, and watch the landscape change dramatically as you gain altitude. Shira Camp offers spectacular sunset views and a chance to rest well before the more challenging days ahead.
Climb higher into the alpine desert environment as you make your way to Barafu Camp, the base camp for your summit attempt. This day involves a strenuous hike through rocky terrain but rewards you with spectacular views. Rest early tonight to gather strength for the final summit push.
Descend through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, marking the end of your climb. Transfer back to Moshi or Arusha for relaxation and celebration of your unforgettable Kilimanjaro adventure.
