The journey begins at Lemosho Gate, meandering through dense rainforests rich in biodiversity. After approximately 3-4 hours of trekking, you'll reach Mti Mkubwa Camp, nestled among the lush greenery.

Trekking across a plateau of green moorland and heather dotted with volcanic rock formations will require you to cover a lot of area today. We will hike via Shira 1 Camp on our way to Shira 2, where there are frequently vistas of Kibo Peak floating in the clouds. As we move closer to Shira 1, we gain some altitude and encounter some moderately steep terrain. You will get the opportunity to see the Northern Ice fields from the western side of the mountain as you go closer to Shira 2, along with some uncommon views of Kibo. Acclimatization will be aided by our slow ascent across the Shira Plateau's moorland, and we get to take in some beautiful panoramic views.

Your trek starts with an ascent with far-reaching panoramic views, walking in to the climatic zone of the upland desert and on the lava ridges beneath the glaciers of the Western Breach. You will reach the distinct pinnacle of the Lava Tower (4640 m), our high point for the day and a great place to enjoy your lunch. In the afternoon we make a steep descent to our camp for the night, located in the base of the Great Barranco Valley (3960 m), sheltered by towering cliffs but with extensive views of the plains below.

The day begins with a challenging ascent up the Barranco Wall, followed by a descent into the Karanga Valley. The hike is relatively shorter, lasting about 3-4 hours, with the Karanga Campsite set in a sheltered valley.

Continuing the journey, the trail ascends steadily toward Barafu Camp, the base camp for the summit attempt. The terrain becomes increasingly rocky as you traverse alpine desert landscapes. After roughly 4-5 hours of trekking, you'll rest at Barafu Camp to prepare for the summit push.

Wake at midnight to a light breakfast and then prepare for your summit ascent. The goal is to climb before dawn so that you can reach Uhuru Peak shortly before or after sunrise. The trails is a series of switchbacks up steep scree or possibly snow, and reach Stella Point on the crater rim at 5,861 m/18,640 ft between 4 and 5 AM. At this point you will be having the views of the fabled crater and its glaciers facing you. Then after 1 hour of hiking along the Kibo crater rim near the celebrated snows takes you to Kilimanjaro true summit, Uhuru Peak. Here you will spend some times for taking photo’s but it will depend on how you feel. After your summit activities done, you will descend back to the Barafu campsite, for lunch, rest, collect your equipment, and continue down through moorland and heath zone to Mweka campsite, Dinner and overnight

In the morning after breakfast you will be trekking down to Mweka gate. The trek is a pleasant one through the lower rain-forested slopes and down to Mweka Gate (1,640 meters). Although you cover 9km / 5.5 miles, the trek only takes 3-4 hours. Assuming you successfully reach Stella Point or Uhuru Peak you will be presented with official certificates – a green certificate for the former and a gold certificate for the latter. It is customary to tip your trekking crew before being transported back to your hotel in Moshi
