This climb is ideal for those wanting
more privacy, a slower
climb, or a more scenic
route. The traversing of
the Shira plateau can be
especially spectacular,
and this route also
ensures the best of the
Machame route.
The dates have been set
to coincide with the
full moon and the best
weather conditions.
All Kili Climbs include
a large staff including
the chief guide, an
assistant guide, cook,
and porters. The camp is superbly
outfitted,
including thick foam
mattresses for all the
igloo tents, a toilet
tent, tables and chairs,
and high frequency
two-way radios for
communication with base.
Your guides provide
oxygen and a portable
altitude chamber for
safety purposes and are
trained every year. |

Day 1: Arusha
Whenever you arrive, you'll be
personally met
and transferred
to a lovely
resort in the
foothills of Mt. Meru, Africa's fifth
highest mountain.
Those arriving
especially early
can book
optional
activities for
their safari
tour in
Tanzania. Then,
spend the
afternoon with
your mountain
guide preparing
for the climb. |
Day 2: Forest
After picking up the requisite
documentation at
the park gate,
this safari tour
in Tanzania
continues to the
Lemosho Glades
starting point.
Less steep than
the Machame
route and less
used, today's trek is through the
forest that laces the foot of
the mountain.
This evening's
camp is pitched
in the forest at
around 2750
metres. |
Day 3: Shira
Today's trek takes you slowly up the
edge of the
Shira volcano.
As you gain
altitude the
vegetation thins
and exotic species of high
altitude plantsappear.
Camp is situated
near the rim of
the ancient
volcano and
provides a good
opportunity to
get the first
direct views of
Kilimanjaro's
peak. Camp is
pitched at about
3500 metres. |
Day 4: Shira
Trek to Shira Camp across the Shira
Plateau, the
flat caldera of
a volcano that
was actually
bigger and is
much older than
Kilimanjaro.
Views can be
very weather
specific but on
good days are
breathtaking.
Bilious clouds
are often
observed melting
down from its
rim onto the
heath covered
plateau. Kibo
alsoshines with a silvery
luminance as the glaciers reflect
the strong
sunlight. At
times mist
covers the
plateau - views
come and go
quickly. You
arrive in time
for lunch and
then have plenty
time to relax
and even go for
a short
acclimatisation
walk in the
afternoon. |
Day 5: Lava
Tower
Today you will walk for 3 to 5 hours
on your Tanzania
Adventure Tour,
enjoying
sightings of the
typical
Kilimanjaro
mountain
vegetation and
reaching a high
point of around 4600 meters at the
Lava Tower camp. The hiking takes you
out of the heath
zone into alpine
desert where
only the very
toughest tussock
grasses can
survive.
Freezing at
night and
blazing
conditions in
the day make
this a hard
place to exist.
For those that
are up to it,
can ascend the
Lava Tower in
the afternoon.
Overnight Lava
Tower (full
board).
Day 6:
Karanga
Today we hike from Lava Tower to
Karanga
valley.
The
trail
initially
sets of
down
hill
into the
Barranco
valley
before
ascending
the
Barranco
wall. In
this
region
there
are
significant
numbers
of very
mature
Senecios
(giant
groundsels).
Lunch is
taken on
trail
before
heading
onto
Karanga
valley
and up
to camp.
In the
afternoon
we have
time to
relax
and for
the very
active
there is
a chance
to head
over to
the
Karanga
valley
to look
at some
spectacular
glacial
scenery.

on the
Barafu
path
(part of
the
Mweka
Trail).
It is a
further
1-2
hours to
Barafu
Hut. The
last
stage to
Barafu
hut is
quite
steep,
and as
always
we
advise
taking
it as
easy as
possible.
Once in
camp we
have
lunch
and then
in the
afternoon
head out
on an
afternoon
acclimatization
hike to
around
4700 –
4800
meters.

dinner
is
served.

Mawenzi
peak are

superb
here.

Day 8:
Crater
Today we ascend to the roof of
Africa!
After an
early
start we
ascend
up to
the rim
of the
Kibo
crater.
It’s
slow
going as
there is
so
little
oxygen
here.
However,
with
patience
and
determination
we
arrive
at the
rim and
descend
into the
crater
for
lunch in
camp.
The
afternoon
is taken
relaxing
and
acclimatizing.
It is a
short
walk
over to
the Furtwangler glacier for those that are
feeling
active!

is taken
in the
mess
tent and
then off
to bed.

ascent
with the

sun. It
takes
around 45 minutes to an hour to
reach
Uhuru
peak – our ultimate goal.
After
sunrise
we then
head
down the
mountain
down
scree
slopes
and the
biggest
glacial
valley
on
Kilimanjaro.
The
trail
passes
back
through
Barafu
camp
where we
rest
briefly
before
continuing

Millenium
camp for
lunch.
