About the event

Let's make a dream come true together! Reach the Roof of Africa and one of the Seven Summits (the highest mountains of the 7 continents), Mount Kilimanjaro! Accompanied by expert local guides we will leave from the rainforest to reach, with a 7-day trek, the crater and the summit of this legendary volcano! Come with us to savor the magic of Africa!

DETAILED PLAN:

Day 1 | Night flight to Tanzania

Day 2 | Kilimanjaro Airport – Moshi

Upon arrival at the airport we will be greeted by our driver who will take us to the Lodge where we will spend the first night in Africa! This will be a day to relax and enjoy the lodge's swimming pool. In the evening we will participate in a meeting with the local guides to prepare the trek.(Dinner included)

Day 3 | Moshi – Lemosho Gate (2385m) – Big Tree Camp (2780m)

Elevation gain ↑395m; approximate walking time 2-3 hours

In the morning we will leave the lodge with our driver to reach Lemosho Gate, the access point to Kilimanjaro National Park. After registering for park access, the adventure begins! We will hike through a dense rainforest until we reach Big Tree Camp.(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 4 | Big Tree Camp (2780m) – Shira Camp 2 (3900m)

Elevation gain ↑1120m; approximate walking time 7-8 h

Day of walking through the forest, which will gradually degrade into a heath as we go up in altitude. We will reach Shira Camp 1 for lunch, enjoying fantastic views of Mount Meru and the Rift Valley. In the afternoon we will continue the journey, through ancient lava flows, until we reach Shira Camp 2, where we will spend the night.(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 5 | Shira Camp 2 (3900m) – Lava Tower (4640m) – Barranco Camp (3960m)

Elevation gain ↑740m|↓680m; approximate walking time 6-7 h

Day dedicated to acclimatization, climbing to an altitude of 4600 and then descending to an altitude almost equal to the starting point, to spend the night. The vegetation will change again and we will cross a high altitude desert environment, until we reach Barranco Camp, perhaps the most beautiful camp on the mountain.(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 6 | Barranco Camp (3960m) – Karanga Camp (4035m)

Elevation gain ↑75m; approximate walking time 3-4 hours

Day full of ups and downs, tackling the steepest part of the entire trek: the Barranco Wall. From time to time they will also have to use their hands for the progression, under the watchful eye of our guides, always ready to help us in case of need. From the ridge atop Barranco Wall we will enjoy fantastic views of the South Kibo Glacier and Kibo Summit. We will arrive at Karanga Camp for lunch and can relax for the rest of the day.(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 7 | Karanga Camp (4035m) – Barafu Camp (4640m)

Elevation gain ↑605m; Approximate walking time 3-4 hours

After breakfast we will cross a high altitude desert environment, until we reach Barafu Camp for lunch. In the afternoon relax and rest in anticipation of the summit day!(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 8 | Barafu Camp (4640m) – Uhuru Peak (5895m) – Mweka Camp (3080m)

Elevation gain ↑1255m|↓2815m; approximate walking time 10-14 h

And here we are at field day, summit day! Wake up at midnight and, after a nice hot tea and a light snack, we set off in the light of the headlamps, walking on frozen volcanic ash. After about 5-7 hours we will arrive at Stella Point, the edge of the Kilimanjaro crater. Another 1-2 hours of walking on the crest of the crater and we will reach Uhuru Peak, the summit! From the Roof of Africa we will admire the surrounding landscape and the savannah which are illuminated by the rising sun. An unforgettable experience. After a short break and the dutiful photos, we will return to Barafu Camp, around noon, where our crew is waiting for us. A good lunch and a couple of hours of rest and then we walk down to reach Mweka Camp.(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 9 | Mweka Camp (3080m) – Mweka Gate (1630m) – Moshi

Elevation gain ↓1450m; approximate walking time 2-3 hours

The last stage of our trek begins, after breakfast, with the traditional farewell ceremony with our crew of cooks and porters. Then a gentle descent of 2-3 hours, crossing the rainforest again, will take us to Mweka Gate, where we will meet our driver, to return to the lodge. After a nice hot shower (finally!) we will have the rest of the day to relax and celebrate our achievement!(Breakfast and dinner included)
