A western approach across the Shira Plateau.
Move from forest through moorland into alpine terrain.
A retreat stay before and after the trek anchors the journey.
A starting point for something personal. Your final itinerary will be shaped around your travel arrangements and preferences.
Meet your local team and transfer to your accommodation. Settle in, review the days ahead and leave the rest of the afternoon open to rest after your journey.
Transfer from Moshi to the western side of Kilimanjaro for park formalities. Begin walking through montane forest with your guide and settle into the first mountain camp.
Leave the forest behind and walk into open moorland. The route climbs towards the Shira Plateau, with the pace set by your mountain team and the conditions on the day.
Continue across the Shira Plateau towards Shira 2. This stage gives time to adjust to the changing landscape; keep the pace measured and follow your guide’s advice.
Cross the upland terrain towards Lava Tower before descending into the Barranco valley. The day brings a dramatic change of scenery and a lower overnight stop after the high point.
Follow your guide up the Barranco Wall and continue across ridges and valleys towards Karanga. Take the afternoon at camp to rest and prepare for the next stage.
Walk through increasingly spare alpine terrain towards Barafu. Arrive with time to organise your layers and equipment, eat and rest before the planned summit attempt.
Begin the summit attempt in the early hours, guided by weather, conditions and the team’s assessment. After the attempt, descend towards Mweka Camp. Reaching the summit is never guaranteed.
Complete the descent with your mountain team, then transfer back to Moshi. A hot shower, a proper bed and a relaxed evening bring the mountain chapter to a close.
Enjoy breakfast before your onward transfer. Departure arrangements will be aligned with your confirmed flight and the route from your final overnight stop.
These stays are selected from your day-by-day itinerary. We’ll confirm room categories, meal plans and availability in your personal proposal.
Share your dates and a little about what you have in mind. We’ll help shape the next chapter.
