Londorossi gate to Mti Mkubwa Camp

Your guide and mountain crew will meet you at the hotel in the morning for a short briefing before driving 3–4 hours to Londorossi Gate (2,250 m) for permits and registration. From there, you’ll trek through the rainforest to Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,650 m), where tents and lunch await. In the afternoon, a light acclimatization hike to higher altitude helps your body adjust—an important step for a safe and successful climb.

After several streams are crossed, we continue over the Shira Ridge past the Shira 1 camp and on to the Shira 2 camp on moorland meadows by a stream. When you reach the camp, your team of specialists will cook lunch and you will have the chance to rest in your tent or walk around the nearby area.

Shira 2 Camp to The Lava Tower to Barranco Camp

After breakfast at Shira 2 Camp (3,850m), you’ll hike toward Lava Tower (4,600m), a key point in your climb. The trail is a mix of ups and downs, and though it can be challenging, spending time at this altitude helps your body adjust. You'll have lunch here before heading down to Barranco Camp (3,900m), right below the striking Barranco Wall—steep to look at, but easy to climb the next day.

Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

You'll start the day early with a hearty breakfast before tackling the Barranco Wall. To avoid crowding, we recommend leaving camp as soon as possible. The climb is steady and scenic, taking about an hour. After photos at Kibo, you’ll continue to Karanga Camp through a challenging but manageable trail. Once there, enjoy a warm lunch and later take a short acclimatization hike before resting for the night.

Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

In the morning, after a warm and hearty breakfast, you will begin your hike to Barafu Summit Camp. This camp is the starting point for the final night summit to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m /19,336 f) – your end goal. Our team will set up camp ahead of time, so when you arrive your tents and sleeping bags will already be prepared, meaning you can just relax and rest when you reach Barafu Summit Camp. It is better to spend the remainder of the day resting and sleeping before the night summit.

Ascent To Uhuru Peak and Descent to Millennium Camp

At night, your group will leave Barafu Camp (4,673 m) for the final push to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the highest point in Africa. Though the trail isn’t technical, the altitude makes each step feel harder. To ensure your safety, each guide will assist two climbers. After reaching the summit, you may visit a nearby glacier before descending to Barafu for a short rest, then continue to Millenium Camp. Descents are risky—watch your step.

Descent From Millennium Camp to Mweka Gate

The Millennium Camp is situated in a tropical rainforest. When you wake up, you will feel relief from the reduction of altitude and the satisfaction of reaching the summit. After a warm breakfast, you will head for the park’s exit: Mweka Gate (1,640 m /5,379 f). After your descent the whole group will gather to congratulate you, followed by offering you a chance to share your opinions on the climb in the guestbook. Lastly, we will present you with your commemorative certificates in our office and provide you with a transfer back to the hotel on your request or drop off at the airport.
