After registering at Londorosi and then heading on to the Lemosho Glades trailhead, you will eventually begin climbing the mountain on foot. By this stage of the day there is only time for a brief foray onto the forested lower western slopes of Kilimanjaro.

This is a longer day that sees you leave the confines of the forest and gain the edge of the Shira Plateau, from where exceptional views of Kibo, far to the east can be enjoyed.

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.

Climb on a steep ridge passing the Baranco wall leading to Karanga hut. Stay at Karanga hut for the hot lunch and have a long rest while you enjoying the mountain and having good pictures for different land scrapes and birds. Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

Take to about 4 Hours climb from Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp. On the trail drink enough water, lunch and continue to enjoy the alpine desert ahead.

Wake up around 11:00pm for adding more warm clothes and head lamp. Leave the camp and start summiting by midnight onto the glacial zone. The path leads to Stella point 5756M for the short brake of water or hot tea. Have time for photographs and a little rest while at the summit. For climbers who have experienced AMS are advised to start descending down, however for those interested can take a round trip along the crater rim to reach Uhuru peak 5895M.Proceed by descend from the summit to arrive to the base camp, take short rest for 2 hours before lunch. Wake up and repack your stuffs, done the lunch and start to descend to Mweka hut “pole pole” while enjoying the beautiful view of the mountain.

This final section is a very satisfying end to your Kilimanjaro experience. The descent is gentle and steady and passes through some very pleasant stretches of scenery. Walk slowly, enjoy the downhill gradient and look at the minutiae along the trail. You will also be able to see both Kibo and Mawenzi slip away from you.

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.
