Kilimanjaro Trek
Arrive at the Moshi Airport in Tanzania and transfer to your accommodation. Orient yourself with this quaint locality with spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.
Drive down to the Machame Gate from your accommodation and assemble with your climbing team to begin your trek. You start off from the South West side of the mountain and navigate through low alpine zones & rainforests to arrive at the Machame Camp. Rest in your tents after having a hearty dinner.
Wake up early and trek through alpine zones and grasslands to arrive at Shira Camp. The ascent today is steep as you climb almost one kilometer in about 4 hours. Shira Camp sits on a plateau which provides you with the first views of Kibo in the North-West and Mount Meru in the East.
Todays trek is east off the Shira Plateau through the ?Garden of the Senecios?, up to Lava Tower and the Shark?s Tooth rock formation at 4,600 meters and then back down via the Southern Circuit to Barranco Camp.
The day begins with traversing up the Barranco Wall: a 257 meter rock face that requires basic scrambling skills to the top of the Karanga Valley. Descend down to the Karanga Camp. After a short break, depart for the Barafu Camp and arrive by late afternoon and rest in your tent.
You will depart at 12am today to trek toward the highest point of your journey, the Mount Kilimanjaro Summit. After 4.5kms of the last stretch of ascent on glacial ice, you reach Stella Point (150m below the summit) where you can take a short break. Continue on to the summit and reach by dawn. Take in the amazing views from the roof of Africa and savour your memories by clicking endless pictures. Begin a descent for 11km to proceed to Mweka Camp in the rainforest.
The last day of your trek, descend down to the Mweka Gate through lush green forests on a very easy trail. After your trek terminates, transfer to your hotel in Moshi and wear off your adventurous journey.
Post breakfast, depart for the airport for your flight back home as the amazing experience of the Mount Kilimanjaro?s Summit culminates.
