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.

Trek out from Moir hut while clicking the “slabs” of the little lent hill and joining to northern circuit trail. Explore the landscape which offers stunning view across the plains which lies the north of Kilimanjaro and stretch out to the Kenyans’ / Tanzanians’ border. Proceed with the trail to reach Buffalo hut for lunch. Dinner and overnight stay at the campsite.

Climb up the Buffalo Ridges which provides beautiful view sand a remote wilderness feeling. The path leads to Third cave for lunch. Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

This brief section leads you up a steady incline of increasingly loose scree to either School Hut or Kibo Hut, from where the summit attempt will be launched.

Wake up around 23:00 for adding more warm clothes and headlamp. Leave the campsite and start summiting by midnight into the glacial zone. The path leads to Gilman’s point 5681M and then to Stella point 5756M.Have time for pictures while looking the sun rise and a little rest for the water or hot tea. 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 descending from the summit to arrive at High campsite 3950M.From school hut to the summit is 6 kilometers and 7 hours walking. Have some lunch and overnight at the campsite.

After the 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 at Uhuru peak and green certificates for Stella point hikers. Back to Mweka village for a drive to Moshi town for resting or airport for a flight back at home. “Normally tipping ceremony 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.
