Welcome to Tanzania at KIA! Here you will meet our professional guide that will assist youand transfer you to your to the hotel. After some rest at the hotel (with comfortable beds,free Wi-Fi and a swimming pool) you will be briefed about your trip's itinerary.

TREKKING FROMMACHAME GATE TO MACHAME CAMPA guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at the hotel in the morning to meet you andhold a quick briefing, afterwards you will travel by vehicle to Kilimanjaro National Park'sentrance: Machame Gate (1,800 m). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permitsand registering, the climbing process with will start by trekking up to Machame Camp (3,010m). The first stage of climbing Kilimanjaro on the Machame Route includes a passage throughthe rain forest (where tropical showers are highly probable).

TREKKING FROMMACHAME CAMP TO SHIRA CAMPAfter breakfast you will start trekking up to the second highest altitude camp, Shira Camp(3,845 m).

SHIRA TO BARRANCO CAMP VIA AN ASCENT TO THE LAVA TOWERDepart Shira Camp after breakfast and head towards Lava Tower ascending from 3,845 to4,630 m. The rise and fall nature of this trek may present some difficulties to an inexperiencedtrekker, however the 4,600m altitude at the Lava Tower itself is crucial for properacclimatization to occur. The lunch break will take place here in order to give you some extrahigh-altitude time before descending approximately 650 m to Barranco Camp (3,960 m),which is the next overnight stop on this route.

BARRANCO CAMP TO KARANGAOn this day it is best to make an early start to avoid crowding on the way up Barranco Wall.Despite the Wall's seemingly daunting height and steepness the actual climb is rather mercifulat a mere hour or so. The top provides a great photo opportunity with Kibo Peak as thebackdrop.The next part of the day is rife with ups and downs where your guides will choosethe best place for individual climbers.A lunch break at Karanga Camp shall be followed by anacclimatization climb towards Barafu with its highest point being 4,270 m.

KARANGA TO BARAFU CAMPAfter breakfast heading towards Barafu Summit Camp (4,640 m),when reaching to Barafucamp we will have some hour to relax in order to regain strength and afterward you have tocomplete an acclimatization climb towards the intermediate Kosovo Summit Camp with itshighest point being 4,800 m and then back to Barafu Camp, where you will be served a hotdinner. It is better to spend the remainder of the day resting and sleeping before nightsummiting.

SUMMITING ON UHURU PEAK AND DESCENT TO MILLENNIUM CAMPSummiting starts at around midnight from 4,635 m, ending on Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m. Whilethe trek itself is fairly simple, ratified mountain air does pose a challenge. Therefore, a guidewill be present monitor conditions throughout the climb. Upon summiting, you shall have anopportunity to walk on the nearby glacier. The descent to 3,820m at Millennium Camp starts

after a two hour rest back at Barafu Camp.

MILLENNIUM CAMP TOMWEKA GATE

This last camp’s position is far lower at the forest line affording you a good night’s sleep (which isalso further enhanced by personal thoughts of having successfully reached the top). Breakfast willbe followed by returning to a level of 1,650m at the final point in this adventure; Mweka Gate.After a short celebration with the entire climbing crew and arrival at our offices, you will receiveyour climbing certificates and then driven to your lodge.

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's most popular trekking destination and the highest mountain in Africa,standing at 5895 m. A trek to the summit of the Kilimanjaro is magnificent, it'll take you through 5different climatic zones, one which ranks among the greatest outdoor challenges on the planet.The different routes you'll get to choose from vary in the degree of difficulty and scenic beauty.The least difficult routes are Marangu and Rongai, and the more difficult routes are Machame, Shira,and Lemosho. The longer routes have more difficult hiking but you'll be more acclimatized andyour chances of reaching the summit are therefore higher.
