Drive from the village of Moshi to Londorosi Gate, where all of the requisite formalities for entering the national park are completed. From here you will be driven for a further 11km to the Morrum Barrier Gate. Only at this stage will you actually begin walking, and then only briefly, since the day will already be drawing to a close.

This is a very short, gentle day that transports you across the heart of the plateau but results in only a slight altitude gain. As such it is very good for acclimatization purposes, allowing your body to adapt gradually to the sensation of being at altitude.

Ascend towards lava tower. Have the acclimatization there, rest, lunch and continue the trail to Baranco Camp. Upon arrival, have evening dinner.

This is a potentially long day. The early stages are focused on traversing the attractive Great Barranco Valley and overcoming the stiff challenge posed by the ascent of the Barranco wall. Having overcome this obstacle, the gradient relents as the path contours around the southern face of Kibo, under the massed ranks of the Southern Icefields, before making an approach to the Barafu Hut.

Wake up around 11:00pm for adding more warm clothes and head lamp. Leave the campsite and start summiting by midnight into the glacial zone. The path leads to Stella point 5756M, have time for pictures while take a short rest for hot tea or drinking water. However, for those who interested can take a round trip along the crater rim to reach Uhuru Peak 5896M. For climbers who have experienced AMS are advised to start to descend down. Proceed by descending from the summit “pole pole” for 3 hours till to the base camp again and have a short rest for 2 hours before lunch. Wake up after a short rest, have some brunch, start to repack all your staffs and start to descend down at Mweka hut.

After a hot breakfast, continue hiking through the beautiful rain forest to arrive at Mweka gate. Get awarded with certificates whereby golden certificates are given to hikers who reached Uhuru peak and green certificates for Stella point hikers. Retreat back to Mweka village for a drive to Moshi town for resting or airport for a flight back at home. “Normally tipping can be done to the last campsite or at the certain gate”

You have the entire day to relax after safari or trekking before your return flight. You can see Moshi town, go on day trips, or get some souvenirs before leaving for the airport, depending on the time of your departure.If you want to explore Tanzania even further, there are add-ons like safari and Zanzibar.
