Itinerary

Kilimanjaro Airport to Moshi

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be welcomed by our transfer driver and taken to your optional Hotel in Moshi. The rest of the day will be at leisure and you can either relax at the hotel or explore the town of Moshi (taxi required). In the evening you will attend a briefing in preparation for the upcoming trek. Dinner and overnight at the optional Hotel.

Moshi Town – Machame Gate – Machame Camp

After breakfast, you will be picked up at your optional hotel and taken to the entrance gate of Kilimanjaro National Park. While your guide is busy with the registration forms, you can watch the mountain team prepare for the climb and once this is all done, your Kilimanjaro adventure will begin. In no time you will be deep within the magnificent mountain rain-forest with ancient trees, primaeval ferns, liana, lichen and moss that carpets the ground and drapes from the trees. You will hear and with a little luck, even spot the beautiful black and white Columbus monkeys in the treetops. After 5 to 6 hours, you will reach today’s destination – Machame Camp which is situated just above the tree line at 3,010 m. Here, at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro, you will have your first dinner followed by an overnight stay in tents.

Machame Camp – New Shira Camp

After an early morning start, the path steepens and the landscape changes into moor and heathland, and the open landscape allows you to see the impressive mountain range. Today’s stage is shorter than the previous day and you will arrive at the New Shira Camp (3,845 m) by mid-afternoon. The camp has a breath-taking view of the mountain and during sunset, the evening sun lights the rock face and glacier of Kibo.
