9 Days Northern Circuit Route

9 Days Northern Circuit Route

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest and newest route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, offering trekkers a unique and less crowded path. It circles the mountain, providing stunning and varied scenery, including views from the northern slopes that are rarely seen by climbers on other routes. This 9-day itinerary allows for excellent acclimatization, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enjoyable summit experience.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll drive to Londorossi Gate for registration. After completing the formalities, a short drive takes you to the Lemosho trailhead. The trek begins through the lush rainforest, where you might spot some wildlife such as colobus monkeys. After 3-4 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp, your first night on the mountain.

Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heath and moorland zone. The trail gradually ascends, offering expansive views as you cross the Shira Plateau. After 5-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 1 Camp, set on the western edge of the plateau. The camp provides stunning vistas of Kibo Peak in the distance.

The hike across the Shira Plateau continues today, with gentle ascents and descents. You’ll traverse through heather and moorland, enjoying panoramic views and unique flora. After 4-5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp, situated near a stream on the plateau. This camp is ideal for further acclimatization.

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 Moir Hut, set in a secluded location on the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. The day’s hike takes about 6-8 hours, helping your body adjust to the altitude.

Today’s trek takes you on a less-traveled path around the northern circuit. You’ll traverse the alpine desert and enjoy expansive views of the Kenyan plains. The trail undulates as you make your way to Buffalo Camp. This day offers a mix of gentle ascents and descents, taking about 5-7 hours. Buffalo Camp provides a quiet and serene setting for rest and acclimatization.

The trek continues across the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro, offering more stunning views and unique landscapes. You’ll cross several valleys and ridges, with a relatively easy and steady hike. After about 4-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Third Cave, your camp for the night. This location offers a good opportunity to rest and prepare for the upcoming summit push.

Today’s hike is a steady ascent towards the base of the Kibo Crater. The trail becomes steeper as you approach School Hut, your high camp before the summit attempt. The trek takes about 4-5 hours, and you’ll arrive at School Hut in the early afternoon. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest before the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental endurance. You’ll reach Gilman’s 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 School Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Mweka Camp, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

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.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

TIPPING GUIDELINES

Tipping guidelines for mountain trekking adventures can vary depending on the destination and local customs. Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Guides: It’s customary to tip your trekking guides. A common guideline is to budget around $10-$30 per day per guide, depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.

  2. Porters: Porters typically carry heavier loads during the trek. A suggested tip is around $10-$20 per day per porter, again depending on their responsibilities and the duration of the trek.

  3. Cook and Support Staff: If your trek includes a cook or additional support staff, consider tipping them as well. An appropriate amount could range from $10-$25 per day per staff member.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

7 Days Rongai Route

7 Days Umbwe Route

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Umbwe Route is known for its steep and direct approach to Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit, making it one of the more challenging paths up the mountain. Despite its difficulty, the route is less crowded and offers a sense of solitude, with stunning vistas and diverse landscapes. This 7-day itinerary is designed to provide adequate acclimatization while tackling the mountain’s demanding terrain.

TREK ITINERARY

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Lemosho Route is considered one of the most scenic and varied routes to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers trekkers stunning views, diverse landscapes, and a higher success rate due to its longer acclimatization period. This 8-day itinerary allows for a more gradual ascent, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enjoyable summit experience.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll drive to Londorossi Gate for registration. After completing the formalities, a short drive takes you to the Lemosho trailhead. The trek begins through the lush rainforest, where you might spot some wildlife such as colobus monkeys. After 3-4 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp, your first night on the mountain.

Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heath and moorland zone. The trail gradually ascends, offering expansive views as you cross the Shira Plateau. After 5-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 1 Camp, set on the western edge of the plateau. The camp provides stunning vistas of Kibo Peak in the distance.

The hike across the Shira Plateau continues today, with gentle ascents and descents. You’ll traverse through heather and moorland, enjoying panoramic views and unique flora. After 4-5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp, situated near a stream on the plateau. This camp is ideal for further acclimatization.

This day involves significant altitude gain, making it a critical acclimatization day. The trek takes you towards the Lava Tower, a volcanic rock formation at 4,630 meters. After a lunch break at Lava Tower, you’ll descend to Barranco Camp, set in a valley below the Breach Wall. This hike, lasting 7-8 hours, helps your body adjust to the altitude while enjoying dramatic landscapes.

The day begins with a climb up the Barranco Wall, a challenging but non-technical ascent. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views. The trail then undulates through alpine desert to Karanga Camp. This shorter day, about 4-5 hours of trekking, allows for acclimatization and rest before the higher altitudes ahead.

Today’s trek 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. You’ll have an early dinner and go to bed early to rest before the midnight ascent to the summit.

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.

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.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

6 Days Marangu Route Itinerary

Trip Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Marangu Route, famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route due to its relative comfort and popularity, offers a classic trekking experience on Mount Kilimanjaro. Known for its gradual slopes and hut accommodations, it provides a more comfortable ascent compared to other routes. This 6-day itinerary takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, culminating in an unforgettable summit attempt at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll be driven to Marangu Gate, the starting point of your climb. Here, you’ll complete the necessary registration formalities before embarking on your trek. The trail initially winds through a dense rainforest, providing a cool and shaded walk. As you ascend, keep an eye out for blue monkeys and Colobus monkeys swinging through the trees. After 5-7 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Mandara Hut, where you’ll spend the night in dormitory-style accommodations.

Today’s hike takes you out of the rainforest and into the moorland zone. The vegetation changes dramatically, and you’ll start to see giant heathers and other unique flora. The trail is steady but climbs higher, and you might start to feel the effects of the altitude. After 6-8 hours of trekking, you’ll arrive at Horombo Hut. This hut offers stunning views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. You’ll spend the night here, allowing your body to acclimatize to the higher altitude.

To aid acclimatization, you’ll spend an extra day at Horombo Hut. This day is crucial for adjusting to the altitude and preparing your body for the summit push. You can take a short acclimatization hike to Zebra Rocks, which stands at 4,020 meters. This hike will help your body adjust to the higher altitude without overexerting yourself. Alternatively, you can rest at the hut, enjoying the spectacular views and conserving your energy for the days ahead.

Today’s hike is long and challenging, crossing the lunar-like landscape of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. The terrain becomes increasingly barren and rocky as you ascend, and the air gets thinner. After 6-8 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Kibo Hut, situated at the base of the Kibo Crater Wall. This is your final stop before the summit attempt. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest for the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental strength. You’ll reach Gilman’s Point on the crater rim around sunrise, which offers spectacular views. From there, the trail continues to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. After celebrating and taking photos, you’ll begin the descent back to Kibo Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Horombo Hut, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

On the final day, you’ll continue your descent through the moorland and rainforest zones, back to Marangu Gate. This is a long hike, but it’s mostly downhill, and you’ll be energized by the thought of completing your adventure. Upon reaching the gate, you’ll receive your summit certificates as a testament to your achievement. You’ll then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi, where you can relax and celebrate your success.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

This 9-day itinerary allows for excellent acclimatization, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enjoyable summit experience.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

These guidelines can help you navigate the tipping process during your mountain trekking adventure. Adjustments may be necessary based on individual circumstances and local practices.

9 Days Northern Circuit Route

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest and newest route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, offering trekkers a unique and less crowded path. It circles the mountain, providing stunning and varied scenery, including views from the northern slopes that are rarely seen by climbers on other routes. This 9-day itinerary allows for excellent acclimatization, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enjoyable summit experience.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll drive to Londorossi Gate for registration. After completing the formalities, a short drive takes you to the Lemosho trailhead. The trek begins through the lush rainforest, where you might spot some wildlife such as colobus monkeys. After 3-4 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp, your first night on the mountain.

Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heath and moorland zone. The trail gradually ascends, offering expansive views as you cross the Shira Plateau. After 5-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 1 Camp, set on the western edge of the plateau. The camp provides stunning vistas of Kibo Peak in the distance.

The hike across the Shira Plateau continues today, with gentle ascents and descents. You’ll traverse through heather and moorland, enjoying panoramic views and unique flora. After 4-5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp, situated near a stream on the plateau. This camp is ideal for further acclimatization.

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 Moir Hut, set in a secluded location on the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. The day’s hike takes about 6-8 hours, helping your body adjust to the altitude.

Today’s trek takes you on a less-traveled path around the northern circuit. You’ll traverse the alpine desert and enjoy expansive views of the Kenyan plains. The trail undulates as you make your way to Buffalo Camp. This day offers a mix of gentle ascents and descents, taking about 5-7 hours. Buffalo Camp provides a quiet and serene setting for rest and acclimatization.

The trek continues across the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro, offering more stunning views and unique landscapes. You’ll cross several valleys and ridges, with a relatively easy and steady hike. After about 4-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Third Cave, your camp for the night. This location offers a good opportunity to rest and prepare for the upcoming summit push.

Today’s hike is a steady ascent towards the base of the Kibo Crater. The trail becomes steeper as you approach School Hut, your high camp before the summit attempt. The trek takes about 4-5 hours, and you’ll arrive at School Hut in the early afternoon. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest before the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental endurance. You’ll reach Gilman’s 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 School Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Mweka Camp, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

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.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

TIPPING GUIDELINES

Tipping guidelines for mountain trekking adventures can vary depending on the destination and local customs. Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Guides: It’s customary to tip your trekking guides. A common guideline is to budget around $10-$30 per day per guide, depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.

  2. Porters: Porters typically carry heavier loads during the trek. A suggested tip is around $10-$20 per day per porter, again depending on their responsibilities and the duration of the trek.

  3. Cook and Support Staff: If your trek includes a cook or additional support staff, consider tipping them as well. An appropriate amount could range from $10-$25 per day per staff member.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

Tipping guidelines for mountain trekking adventures can vary depending on the destination and local customs. Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Guides: It’s customary to tip your trekking guides. A common guideline is to budget around $10-$30 per day per guide, depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.

  2. Porters: Porters typically carry heavier loads during the trek. A suggested tip is around $10-$20 per day per porter, again depending on their responsibilities and the duration of the trek.

  3. Cook and Support Staff: If your trek includes a cook or additional support staff, consider tipping them as well. An appropriate amount could range from $10-$25 per day per staff member.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

These guidelines can help you navigate the tipping process during your mountain trekking adventure. Adjustments may be necessary based on individual circumstances and local practices.

Trip Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Marangu Route, famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route due to its relative comfort and popularity, offers a classic trekking experience on Mount Kilimanjaro. Known for its gradual slopes and hut accommodations, it provides a more comfortable ascent compared to other routes. This 6-day itinerary takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, culminating in an unforgettable summit attempt at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll be driven to Marangu Gate, the starting point of your climb. Here, you’ll complete the necessary registration formalities before embarking on your trek. The trail initially winds through a dense rainforest, providing a cool and shaded walk. As you ascend, keep an eye out for blue monkeys and Colobus monkeys swinging through the trees. After 5-7 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Mandara Hut, where you’ll spend the night in dormitory-style accommodations.

Today’s hike takes you out of the rainforest and into the moorland zone. The vegetation changes dramatically, and you’ll start to see giant heathers and other unique flora. The trail is steady but climbs higher, and you might start to feel the effects of the altitude. After 6-8 hours of trekking, you’ll arrive at Horombo Hut. This hut offers stunning views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. You’ll spend the night here, allowing your body to acclimatize to the higher altitude.

To aid acclimatization, you’ll spend an extra day at Horombo Hut. This day is crucial for adjusting to the altitude and preparing your body for the summit push. You can take a short acclimatization hike to Zebra Rocks, which stands at 4,020 meters. This hike will help your body adjust to the higher altitude without overexerting yourself. Alternatively, you can rest at the hut, enjoying the spectacular views and conserving your energy for the days ahead.

Today’s hike is long and challenging, crossing the lunar-like landscape of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. The terrain becomes increasingly barren and rocky as you ascend, and the air gets thinner. After 6-8 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Kibo Hut, situated at the base of the Kibo Crater Wall. This is your final stop before the summit attempt. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest for the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental strength. You’ll reach Gilman’s Point on the crater rim around sunrise, which offers spectacular views. From there, the trail continues to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. After celebrating and taking photos, you’ll begin the descent back to Kibo Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Horombo Hut, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

On the final day, you’ll continue your descent through the moorland and rainforest zones, back to Marangu Gate. This is a long hike, but it’s mostly downhill, and you’ll be energized by the thought of completing your adventure. Upon reaching the gate, you’ll receive your summit certificates as a testament to your achievement. You’ll then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi, where you can relax and celebrate your success.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

9 Days Northern Circuit Route

9 Days Northern Circuit Route

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest and newest route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, offering trekkers a unique and less crowded path. It circles the mountain, providing stunning and varied scenery, including views from the northern slopes that are rarely seen by climbers on other routes. This 9-day itinerary allows for excellent acclimatization, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enjoyable summit experience.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll drive to Londorossi Gate for registration. After completing the formalities, a short drive takes you to the Lemosho trailhead. The trek begins through the lush rainforest, where you might spot some wildlife such as colobus monkeys. After 3-4 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp, your first night on the mountain.

Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heath and moorland zone. The trail gradually ascends, offering expansive views as you cross the Shira Plateau. After 5-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 1 Camp, set on the western edge of the plateau. The camp provides stunning vistas of Kibo Peak in the distance.

The hike across the Shira Plateau continues today, with gentle ascents and descents. You’ll traverse through heather and moorland, enjoying panoramic views and unique flora. After 4-5 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp, situated near a stream on the plateau. This camp is ideal for further acclimatization.

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 Moir Hut, set in a secluded location on the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. The day’s hike takes about 6-8 hours, helping your body adjust to the altitude.

Today’s trek takes you on a less-traveled path around the northern circuit. You’ll traverse the alpine desert and enjoy expansive views of the Kenyan plains. The trail undulates as you make your way to Buffalo Camp. This day offers a mix of gentle ascents and descents, taking about 5-7 hours. Buffalo Camp provides a quiet and serene setting for rest and acclimatization.

The trek continues across the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro, offering more stunning views and unique landscapes. You’ll cross several valleys and ridges, with a relatively easy and steady hike. After about 4-6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Third Cave, your camp for the night. This location offers a good opportunity to rest and prepare for the upcoming summit push.

Today’s hike is a steady ascent towards the base of the Kibo Crater. The trail becomes steeper as you approach School Hut, your high camp before the summit attempt. The trek takes about 4-5 hours, and you’ll arrive at School Hut in the early afternoon. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest before the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental endurance. You’ll reach Gilman’s 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 School Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Mweka Camp, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

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.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

TIPPING GUIDELINES

Tipping guidelines for mountain trekking adventures can vary depending on the destination and local customs. Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Guides: It’s customary to tip your trekking guides. A common guideline is to budget around $10-$30 per day per guide, depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.

  2. Porters: Porters typically carry heavier loads during the trek. A suggested tip is around $10-$20 per day per porter, again depending on their responsibilities and the duration of the trek.

  3. Cook and Support Staff: If your trek includes a cook or additional support staff, consider tipping them as well. An appropriate amount could range from $10-$25 per day per staff member.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

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.

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.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.

TIPPING GUIDELINES

Tipping guidelines for mountain trekking adventures can vary depending on the destination and local customs. Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Guides: It’s customary to tip your trekking guides. A common guideline is to budget around $10-$30 per day per guide, depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.

  2. Porters: Porters typically carry heavier loads during the trek. A suggested tip is around $10-$20 per day per porter, again depending on their responsibilities and the duration of the trek.

  3. Cook and Support Staff: If your trek includes a cook or additional support staff, consider tipping them as well. An appropriate amount could range from $10-$25 per day per staff member.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Currency: Tipping is usually done in the local currency, so it’s helpful to have small bills or local currency denominations available for tipping.

  7. 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.

  8. Gratitude: Tipping is a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the trekking crew who contribute to the success and safety of your adventure.

Trek Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey” route, is known for its scenic beauty and challenging ascent. This route offers stunning views and diverse landscapes, making it a favorite among adventurous climbers. The 7-day itinerary provides ample time for acclimatization, increasing the chances of reaching the summit successfully. Starting from Arusha, this journey takes you through lush rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts, culminating in an exhilarating summit attempt at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

6 Days Marangu Route Itinerary

Trip Details

TREK OVERVIEW

The Marangu Route, famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route due to its relative comfort and popularity, offers a classic trekking experience on Mount Kilimanjaro. Known for its gradual slopes and hut accommodations, it provides a more comfortable ascent compared to other routes. This 6-day itinerary takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, culminating in an unforgettable summit attempt at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

TREK ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Moshi
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. This day is for relaxing and preparing for the adventure ahead. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the climb, where you’ll meet your guides and check your gear. This is an essential step to ensure you have everything needed for a successful and comfortable climb. After the briefing, enjoy a hearty dinner and rest well for the start of your journey.

After breakfast, you’ll be driven to Marangu Gate, the starting point of your climb. Here, you’ll complete the necessary registration formalities before embarking on your trek. The trail initially winds through a dense rainforest, providing a cool and shaded walk. As you ascend, keep an eye out for blue monkeys and Colobus monkeys swinging through the trees. After 5-7 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Mandara Hut, where you’ll spend the night in dormitory-style accommodations.

Today’s hike takes you out of the rainforest and into the moorland zone. The vegetation changes dramatically, and you’ll start to see giant heathers and other unique flora. The trail is steady but climbs higher, and you might start to feel the effects of the altitude. After 6-8 hours of trekking, you’ll arrive at Horombo Hut. This hut offers stunning views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. You’ll spend the night here, allowing your body to acclimatize to the higher altitude.

To aid acclimatization, you’ll spend an extra day at Horombo Hut. This day is crucial for adjusting to the altitude and preparing your body for the summit push. You can take a short acclimatization hike to Zebra Rocks, which stands at 4,020 meters. This hike will help your body adjust to the higher altitude without overexerting yourself. Alternatively, you can rest at the hut, enjoying the spectacular views and conserving your energy for the days ahead.

Today’s hike is long and challenging, crossing the lunar-like landscape of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. The terrain becomes increasingly barren and rocky as you ascend, and the air gets thinner. After 6-8 hours of hiking, you’ll reach Kibo Hut, situated at the base of the Kibo Crater Wall. This is your final stop before the summit attempt. After an early dinner, you’ll go to bed early to rest for the midnight ascent to the summit.

The summit attempt begins around midnight. The trail is steep and rocky, requiring both physical and mental strength. You’ll reach Gilman’s Point on the crater rim around sunrise, which offers spectacular views. From there, the trail continues to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. After celebrating and taking photos, you’ll begin the descent back to Kibo Hut for a short rest. Then, you’ll continue descending to Horombo Hut, where you’ll spend the night, exhausted but triumphant.

On the final day, you’ll continue your descent through the moorland and rainforest zones, back to Marangu Gate. This is a long hike, but it’s mostly downhill, and you’ll be energized by the thought of completing your adventure. Upon reaching the gate, you’ll receive your summit certificates as a testament to your achievement. You’ll then be transferred back to your hotel in Moshi, where you can relax and celebrate your success.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure flight, or you may choose to continue your Tanzanian adventure with a safari or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Reflecting on the incredible journey to the roof of Africa, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a great sense of accomplishment.
