A Short drive from Moshi to machame gate which will take 50 minutes; passing along the beautiful village of machame. After check in formalities at the gate, we will start hiking going through the montane forest, making our way to machame camp.
Depart from our camp after breakfast and proceed hiking through the forest. We will keep trekking as we soak in the beautiful scenery along the way, making our way through the moorlands. The route will diverge to west side onto a river gorge. Dinner and overnight will be offered at shira campsite.
On this day we will depart from shira plateau and proceed eastwards up a ridge, moving through the intersection towards the peak of kibo. We will keep hiking and change our direction to the south east towards lava tower. Shortly after the tower we approach the second intersection which leads to the arrow glacier . The day offers amazing scenery and ends up at almost the same altitude as when we started which provide the best acclimatization opportunity
Today we will proceed to acclimatize, in preparation for an upcoming summit push. We will hike the intimidating barranco wall, and from the top we go on a wavering sequence of ridges and valleys before arrival at karanga camp. This is short day to allow enough acclimatization chance.
After breakfast we proceed hiking and reach the intersection which joins with mweka trail. We will then continue to barafu hut where early dinner will be offered as we prepare for summit. The peaks of kibo and mawenzi can be vividly seen here
On this day we will push our way to the summit our trek will begin in early hours, this can a bit more physically and mentally challenging compared to the other parts of the trek.
From Crater Camp, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, stopping at Barafu for lunch. The trail is very rocky and can be quite hard on the knees; trekking poles are helpful. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Later in the evening, we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep
