Upon arriving in Arusha, you’ll be warmly welcomed and escorted to the Tulia Lodge and Spa, where your accommodations await. This serene lodge offers an ideal environment to unwind and gear up for your upcoming adventure. Later in the evening, at 5:30 pm, you’ll gather for a pre-climb briefing led by either your mount guide or briefer. This session will involve a thorough equipment check to ensure you have all the necessary gear listed by our team.
After breakfast, you’ll depart by vehicle to Kilimanjaro. At the gate, your crew finalizes packing, and after finishing with formalities you start off from Machame gate. Today’s hiking is through the verdant afro-montane forest to Machame camp and en route, you’ll have a picnic lunch. Look out for pretty endemic flora and a graduation of forest zones! Your overnight stay will be at Machame Camp (full board).

Today is a walk-high-sleep-low day. You will ascend into the alpine desert and for those that are feeling strong, you can even head up to Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp.

From Barranco Camp, famous for its’ giant groundsels (Senecio species), you will ascend the Barranco wall and hike glacial valleys to Karanga Camp. Lunch is taken at Karanga Valley before heading to Barafu in the afternoon. Desolate alpine desert and at times strong winds rip over this camp and yet in the evening splendid views of Mawenzi Peak are the norm. A relatively early dinner is taken before heading to rest for the evening. Your overnight stay will be at Barafu Camp (full board).

Most people depart just before midnight for the final summit bid. Patience and persistence are the name of the game to reach the summit and by dawn, as the first rays of light start to appear, most arrive near the rim. Ascending via Stella Point affords a relatively short final section to Uhuru Peak, the Roof of Africa! What goes up must come down and your goal today is to reach Mweka camp before dusk. Your overnight stay will be at Mweka Camp (full board).

A final descent of 4,500 ft brings you down to Mweka Gate where your team will have prepared another scrumptious and fresh lunch and your transfer vehicles will be waiting to collect you. Here, you will say goodbye to our mountain staff before heading to the hotel near Arusha for a farewell dinner and either overnight or a day room and departure.
