Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Moshi to Machame Camp
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll depart for Machame Gate, where your adventure officially begins. After registering at the gate, start your trek through the lush rainforest, characterized by towering trees and vibrant wildlife. The hike to Machame Camp, situated at 3,000 meters, typically takes 5-7 hours. As you navigate the well-marked trails, enjoy the sounds of nature and the fresh mountain air. Upon reaching Machame Camp, you’ll set up your tents, enjoy a well-deserved dinner, and share stories under the stars. Embrace the camaraderie with fellow climbers as you prepare for the next day’s journey.
Day 2 Machame Camp to Shira Camp
After breakfast, you’ll embark on a trek to Shira Camp at 3,840 meters. This trek section usually takes 5-6 hours and involves ascending through moorland, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscapes. The flora changes as you ascend, featuring unique plants like giant lobelias. Upon arrival at Shira Camp, take some time to relax and soak in the breathtaking views. Enjoy a hearty dinner while reflecting on the day’s adventures, and rest well in preparation for the ascent to Barranco Camp the following day.
Day 3 Shira Camp to Barranco Camp
Your day begins with a nourishing breakfast before heading to Barranco Camp at 3,960 meters. This leg of the trek takes around 6-7 hours and includes a gradual ascent along the Shira Plateau. Enjoy the diverse ecosystems and mesmerizing vistas as you hike. After a scenic lunch, continue your journey toward Barranco, where you will descend into the Barranco Valley. Upon reaching Barranco Camp, set up your tents and enjoy dinner while marveling at the impressive Barranco Wall looming above. Prepare for the exciting climb of the wall tomorrow, which offers an exhilarating challenge.
Day 4 Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
After breakfast, tackle the exhilarating Barranco Wall, which requires some scrambling but rewards you with stunning views from the top. After conquering the wall, the trek continues to Karanga Camp at 4,000 meters, typically taking 4-5 hours. Enjoy the varied landscapes, with opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. Upon arrival at Karanga Camp, take time to rest and rejuvenate. Enjoy a warm meal, and as night falls, soak in the tranquility of the mountain environment. This is an essential day to acclimatize before the final ascent to Barafu Camp.
Day 5 Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Following breakfast, you’ll begin your trek to Barafu Camp at 4,640 meters. This section typically takes 4-5 hours and involves navigating rocky terrain while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. Barafu Camp is the base for your final ascent to the summit, so take this time to rest and prepare. Enjoy an early dinner and hydrate well as you rise before dawn for the summit attempt. Ensure your gear is ready for the cold, as temperatures will drop significantly at higher altitudes. Rest is crucial for the final push to Uhuru Peak.
Day 6 Summit Day – Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak – Descent to Moshi
On the final day, wake up before dawn and have a light breakfast to fuel your ascent to Uhuru Peak, Africa’s highest point at 5,895 meters. The climb typically takes 6-8 hours and can be strenuous, requiring determination and focus. Enjoy the sunrise as you approach the summit; it will be truly unforgettable. Once at Uhuru Peak, celebrate your achievement and capture the stunning views. Afterward, begin your descent back to Barafu Camp for a brief rest before continuing to Mweka Camp. Here, you’ll enjoy a celebratory dinner and share stories of your incredible journey. The next day, descend to Mweka Gate, receive your summit certificate, and return to Moshi for a well-deserved celebration.

My trip with Maramatta Safaris was absolutely incredible! I chose the 5-day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater package, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived in Arush (Read More)a, everything was perfectly organized. The team ensured I felt comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead.
Tarangire was stunning—so many elephants everywhere! There was one moment where we got really close to a family of elephants as they walked right past our vehicle. It was thrilling, but I always felt safe with our guide, who was a total pro.
Ngorongoro Crater, though, took my breath away. The scenery alone was jaw-dropping, and I spotted the elusive black rhino, which I’d been hoping for! The game drives were seamless, and I learned so much from our guide about the history and ecology of the crater.
