Group Tip: Some trekkers prefer to pool tips and give a lump sum to be distributed among all crew members. This can simplify the tipping process and ensure fairness.
Quality of Service: Adjust your tips based on the quality of service and the effort put forth by the staff. Exceptional service may warrant a higher tip, while poor service may warrant a lower tip or feedback to the trekking company.
Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.
Discuss with Trekking Company: Before your trek begins, clarify tipping expectations with your trekking company or guide to ensure you understand local customs and expectations.

TREK ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrival in Moshi

- Overnight at Park View Inn (Moshi)
Day 2: Moshi to Machame Gate (1,800m) to Machame Camp (2,835m)
After breakfast, you’ll be driven from Moshi to Machame Gate, the starting point of your trek. After registering with the park authorities, you’ll begin your hike through the lush rainforest. The trail is well-defined and gradually ascends, offering a chance to spot some wildlife and enjoy the verdant scenery. After about 6-7 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Machame Camp, where you’ll set up for the night.
Day 3: Machame Camp (2,835m) to Shira Camp (3,750m)
Today’s hike takes you out of the rainforest and into the moorland zone. The trail becomes steeper and rockier as you ascend, with stunning views of Mount Meru and the Shira Plateau. After 4-6 hours of trekking, you’ll arrive at Shira Camp. The camp offers spectacular views of Kibo Peak and the surrounding landscapes. You’ll have the rest of the day to rest and acclimatize.
Day 4: Shira Camp (3,750m) to Lava Tower (4,630m) to Barranco Camp (3,950m)
This is an important day for acclimatization as you hike to higher altitudes and then descend again. You’ll start by trekking towards Lava Tower, a volcanic rock formation at 4,630 meters. After a lunch break at Lava Tower, you’ll descend to Barranco Camp, which is set in a beautiful valley below the Breach Wall. The day’s hike takes about 7-9 hours, and although challenging, it helps your body adjust to the altitude.
Day 5: Barranco Camp (3,950m) to Karanga Camp (3,995m)
Today’s trek involves climbing the Barranco Wall, a steep but non-technical rock face. The climb is rewarding, with stunning views as you ascend. Once you reach the top, the trail undulates through the alpine desert to Karanga Camp. This shorter hiking day, taking about 4-5 hours, provides an excellent opportunity to further acclimatize and rest before the summit push.
Day 6: Karanga Camp (3,995m) to Barafu Camp (4,673m)
The trail to Barafu Camp is a steady ascent through the alpine desert. The landscape becomes more barren and rocky as you climb higher. After 4-5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Barafu Camp, the base camp for your summit attempt. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest before the midnight ascent to the summit.
Day 7: Barafu Camp (4,673m) to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) to Mweka Camp (3,100m)
The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental endurance. You’ll reach Stella Point on the crater rim around sunrise and then continue to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. After celebrating and taking photos, you’ll begin the descent back to Barafu Camp for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Mweka Camp, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.
Day 8: Mweka Camp (3,100m) to Mweka Gate (1,640m) to Moshi
On the final day, you’ll descend through the rainforest to Mweka Gate. This is a long hike, but it’s mostly downhill and offers a chance to reflect on your incredible journey. Upon reaching the gate, you’ll receive your summit certificates. You’ll then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi, where you can relax and celebrate your achievement.
- Overnight at Park View Inn (Moshi)
Day 9: Departure

Quality of Service: Adjust your tips based on the quality of service and the effort put forth by the staff. Exceptional service may warrant a higher tip, while poor service may warrant a lower tip or feedback to the trekking company.
