On the first day, you will begin your trek at Machame Gate, where you will complete registration and meet your guide and porters. The trail winds through lush rainforests, offering glimpses of exotic flora and fauna. After approximately 6 hours of hiking, you will reach Machame Camp, located at an elevation of 3,000 meters.
As you continue your ascent, the landscape transitions from rainforest to moorland. The trek to Shira Camp takes you across vast expanses with stunning views of the Shira Plateau. This day's hike is approximately 5 to 6 hours long, and you will reach an altitude of 3,840 meters.
Today's trek takes you to Barranco Camp, located at 3,950 meters. The trail presents you with challenging sections, including the Barranco Wall. The wall requires some scrambling, but your experienced guide will assist you. Along the way, you will be rewarded with panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape.
The hike from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp provides stunning views of the southern glacier and the rugged Kibo Massif. As you ascend to an altitude of 4,035 meters, you will notice the air becoming thinner. This day's trek takes approximately 4 to 5 hours.
Your next stop is Barafu Camp, situated at 4,680 meters. This is the base camp for your summit attempt. The terrain becomes more barren and rocky as you approach the camp. You will spend the rest of the day resting and preparing for the summit push.
At around midnight, you will start your summit ascent from Barafu Camp. The final climb to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro at 5,895 meters, is physically demanding but immensely rewarding. As you reach the summit, you will witness the breathtaking sunrise over the African plains. After celebrating your achievement, you will descend to Mweka Camp at 3,100 meters to rest and recover.
On the last day, you will descend from Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate, where you will receive your summit certificates. The final leg of the journey takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. A vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel, marking the end of your incredible Kilimanjaro trekking experience.
