Transfer to Machame Gate (1,800m), register, and begin your journey through a humid rainforest bursting
with life. The trail gradually climbs to Machame Camp (3,000m), nestled just above the tree line.

Climb out of the forest into the open moorland. With every step, the vegetation thins and the views widen.
Arrive at Shira Camp (3,840m) on a plateau offering sweeping vistas of Kibo Peak.

Today is all about acclimatization. Ascend to the towering Lava Tower (4,630m), then descend into the
lush Barranco Valley (3,960m). The climb high/sleep low method improves your chances for summit
success.

Face the impressive Barranco Wall a thrilling scramble with panoramic views. Traverse undulating
valleys and rocky ridges to reach Karanga Camp (4,035m), your oasis in the high alpine desert. A short
but vital acclimatization day.

Trek steadily upward to Barafu Camp (4,673m), your launch point for the summit. You’ll arrive by mid-
afternoon and rest, hydrate, and prepare for the midnight ascent.

At midnight, begin your climb through the dark, icy slopes toward Stella Point. As dawn breaks, reach the
mighty Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa. After photos and awe, descend to Barafu, rest
briefly, then continue to Mweka Camp (3,100m).

Enjoy your final descent through the enchanted rainforest to Mweka Gate. Celebrate with your climbing
team, collect your certificate, and return to Moshi to reflect on your incredible achievement.
