  • Hotel - Miriakamba Hut

    The driver will pick you up at your hotel in the morning. We go to Momella Gate which is the starting point of your climb.Here is where you will meet your crew, (guides, porters and the Ranger who will accompany you all the way to the summit of Mt. Meru (The socialist peak).After all the registration and park fees payment (included in the price) you will start your hike with your guide and the ranger.

    But keep in mind that there are two ways to take you to Miriakamba hut (2500 masl) the first one is the long one which follows a 4WD and it is about 12km. This one is great and very recommended because it is very good for acclimatization.The second option is the trail which is the direct path and short way to rich Miriakamba hut and it is also steep, and we do recommend that you better start with the long way on the first day and do the shorter trail on the descent day.

  • Trekking From Machame Gate To Machame Camp

    Your mountain guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at your hotel in the morning in order to meet you and hold a quick briefing, after which you will travel by vehicle to Kilimanjaro National Parks entrance, Machame Gate (1800). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will start trekking up to Machame Camp (3010) m The first stage of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Machame Route includes passage through the rainforest where tropical showers are highly probable, so we recommend you take not only spare clothes, but also your raincoats. At night you may experience discomfort associated with acclimatization to the high altitude, because of a reduction in your waking breathing pattern, your body gets less oxygen than during the day, Pay attention to your own body and tell your guide if you start feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness.

  • Miriakamba Hut - Saddle Hut

    Early after breakfast you will continue with your ascent via Mgongo wa Tembo Ridge (Elephant Ridge) to Saddle Hut for hot lunch.After Lunch you will have some rest and then later in the afternoon you will do the acclimatization hike to Little Meru (3800 masl). After the hike you will descend back to the Saddle hut for dinner and overnight.

  • Trekking from Machame Camp to Shira Camp

    After breakfast you will start trekking up to the second high-altitude camp, Shira Camp (3,845 m). On this day you will emerge from the rainforest and for the first time be able to see stunning views of the Shira Plateau laid out in front of you. Physically speaking, the trekking is not very difficult, but you may feel the changes in altitude, so pay attention to your body and remember that choosing the proper pace is extremely important for good trekking.

    When you reach the camp, you will have lunch and some rest, after which the group will go on an acclimatization hike towards Lava Tower Camp with a 300 meter gain in altitude. Back down to Shira Camp you will be served a hot dinner. NB: The acclimatization hike is an easy trek with a slight gain in altitude done in order to speed up the acclimatization process. You should take the acclimatization hikes very seriously. They help increase your chances of successfully climb Mt Kili and save you from the consequence of altitude sickness.

  • Saddle Hut - Mount Meru Peak

    Day three begin at midnight with a cup of tea or coffee and some snacks. After that you will start your final ascent of mount Meru via Rhino point all the way to the socialist peak 4565 masl, for the sunrise and some photos as well as celebration. We are not going to be for hours at the top, and shortly after the arrival we will start our descent.

    And remember – whenever you reach the summit of any mountain you are just the half way of the climb, so once you are done you will descend to the saddle hut for some food (it can be breakfast or brunch depending on the time that we get back to the hut.

  • Shira to Barranco Camp via an Ascent to the Lava Tower

    Depart Shira Camp after breakfast and head towards Lava Tower ascending from 3,845 to 4,630 m. The rise-and-fall nature of this trek may present some difficulties. However, the 4,600 m altitude at the Lava Tower itself is crucial for proper acclimatization.

    The lunch break will take place here in order to give you some extra high-altitude time before descending approximately 650 m to Barranco Camp (3,960 m), which is the next overnight stop on this route.Then you will descend to Barranco Camp (3,960 m). Here you can see the famous Barranco Wall, impressive in both its massive size and steepness! Next day you will be climbing it, but dont worry: it features a very simple hiking trail.

  • Trekking From Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

    On this day it is best to make an early start to avoid crowding on the way up Barranco Wall. Despite the Walls seemingly daunting height and steepness the actual climb is rather merciful at a mere hour or so. The top provides a great photo opportunity with Kibo Peak as the backdrop.

    The next part of the day is rife with ups and downs where your guides will choose the best place for individual climbers.A lunch break at Karanga Camp shall be followed by an acclimatisation climb towards Barafu with its highest point being 4,270 m. The group then drops back to Karanga Camp for the overnight.

  • Saddle Hut - Hotel or Airport
