Day Itinerary

Description & Days Itinerary

What to do in this one day tour

Day 0: Pre-trek Briefing - Arrival in Moshi Town. 

Pre-trek briefing at your hotel. You should be planning to arrive at least one day before the start of the 

trek. Today we will spend in having a pre-trek briefing. We will also review your equipment and rent any 

equipment which is needed. 


Day 1: Moshi to Mti Mkubwa Camp 

After breakfast and briefing, drive to Lemosho Park Gate. From here a forest track requiring a 4WD vehicle 

leads to Lemosho Glades. Walk along forest trails to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) campsite.

  1. Elevation: 1830m/6000ft to 2650m/8700ft 
  2. Distance: 6km/4mi 
  3. Hiking Time: 2-3 hours

  5. Meals: Lunch and Dinner 


Day 2: Mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira 2 Camp

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. 

  1. Elevation: 2650m/8700ft to 3850m/12,600ft

As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s 

Tooth” (elev 4650m/15,250ft). Shortly after the tower we come to the second junction which goes to the 

Arrow Glacier. We now continue down to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same 

elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body 

prepare for summit day.

  2. Distance: 8km/5mi

Day 6: Barafu Camp to Summit to Mweka Camp 

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann 

and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella 

Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella 

Point you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever 

likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit. 

From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at 

Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa! 

From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at 

Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. We arrive at 

Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the mountain.  

  1. Elevation: 4700m/15,350ft to 5895m/19,340ft 
  2. Down to 3090m/10,150ft

Day 7: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate to Hotel

certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and 

t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy). 

A transfer vehicle will be waiting for you at Mweka gate to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi (around 

60 minutes). 

  1. Elevation: 3090m/10,150ft to 1680m/5500ft 
  2. Distance: 10km/6mi 
  3. Hiking Time: 3-4 hours
