DAY 3: HEATHER / MOORLAND ZONE
We climb from Shira 1 Camp (11,300ft or 3,444 m) to Moir Camp (13,779ft or 4,200 m) through the Heather and Moorland Zone. We will be camping overnight at Moir Camp.

DAY 4: LAVA TOWER
We climb from Moir Camp (13,779ft or 4,200 m) to Lava Tower Camp (15,091ft or 4,600 m) in the Alpine Desert Zone.
This trek takes approximately 3 hrs including lunch break. We eat lunch and relax for the rest of the day to properly acclimatize.
If you are feeling up to it and depending on the weather, you can go climb up Lava Tower with one of our guides for some spectacular views. Speak to our guides and they will be able to guide you and let you know if it is possible.
DAY 5: LAVA TOWER – ACCLIMATIZATION HIKE
Acclimatization Day: Today we have an acclimatization hike to our next camp – Arrow Glacier Camp (16,076ft or 4,900 m). This is an elevation gain of approximately 1,000ft or 300 m and this short hike takes about 2-3 hrs to complete (up and down).

If you are feeling up to it and depending on the weather, you can go climb up Lava Tower with one of our guides for some spectacular views. Speak to our guides and they will be able to guide you and let you know if it is possible.

Overnight at Arrow Glacier Camp (16,076ft or 4,900m).
DAY 7: WESTERN BREACH
We climb from Arrow Glacier Camp (16,076ft or 4,900 m) to Crater Camp (18,800ft or 5,730 m). We wake up at approximately 3:00 – 4:00 AM just before sunrise, cross the Western-Breach, and head into the Crater Rim. We then walk past the Northern Ice Field and Furtwangler Glacier on our way to Crater Camp.
This portion of the trek takes approximately 5-7 hrs. We will have lunch at Crater Camp. From here onwards, the climbing group has 2 options which will be decided in cooperation by the head guides, and all the climbers on the trek.
Option #1: After we have relaxed a bit and have had lunch at Crater Camp, we continue our ascent to the summit. Reaching Uhuru Peak from Crater Camp takes approximately 1.5 hrs. Many climbers still feel great at this point and wish to continue making their ascent to Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m) the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
If your group decides to summit today, you will descend to Barafu Camp (15,239ft or 3,983m) and overnight there. This portion descending from the summit to Barafu Camp will take approximately 2-3 hrs.
The benefit of choosing Option #1 would be that you will be reaching the summit in the mid-afternoon around 2-3 PM. There will be very few climbers at the summit, giving you the freedom to take as many pictures as you wish. There is no rush to leave the summit (like a typical sunrise summit, which usually has many other companies and tourists waiting to take their photos).
Congratulations on reaching the Roof of Africa – Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m)!
Option #2: After having lunch, relax the rest of the day and spend the night at Crater Camp. You will then be making your ascent to the summit at sunrise the next day.
DAY 8: SUMMIT DAY
Option #1 Continued: Wake up at Barafu Camp (15,239ft or 3,983m) and continue making our descent to our next camp – Mweka Camp (10,204ft or 3,110 m). Overnight at Mweka Camp. This portion takes approximately 4-5 hrs.
Option 2 Continued: Wake up at Crater Camp (18,800ft or 5,730 m) and begin making your ascent to Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m). This takes approximately 1.5 hrs.
Congratulations on reaching Uhuru Peak (19,341ft or 5,895 m). Spend a few minutes taking pictures and savouring the accomplishment of climbing to the Roof of Africa.
After reaching the summit, you will begin to make your descent via the Eastern Side of Mt Kilimanjaro to Mweka Camp (10,204ft or 3,110 m). This descent portion takes approximately 6-8 hrs.
DAY 9: MWEKA GATE & OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE
After breakfast, we continue to climb down to Mweka Gate (5,423ft or 1,653m) where we sign the Official Kilimanjaro National Park Register, have a cold drink, and get presented our official Kilimanjaro Certificate by our Head Guide.
This last descent to the gate should take approximately 3-4 hrs.
We then head to our bus and head back to the Hotel in Arusha. This drive takes approximately 3 hrs. You should be arriving back at the hotel in the mid-afternoon around 3 PM (depending what time you leave your camp in the morning).
