Drive to the remote Lemosho Gate (2,360m) for registration, then trek through pristine, untouched rainforest teeming with giant trees, colobus monkeys, and the chance to spot buffalo or elephant. Reach Big Tree Camp deep in the forest for your first unforgettable night on the mountain.
Ascend steadily out of the rainforest into rolling moorlands and giant heather. Enjoy your first sweeping views of the Shira Plateau and Kibo Peak as you arrive at Shira 1 Camp.
Trek across the vast, otherworldly Shira Plateau with dramatic volcanic views. This gentle but high-altitude day is perfect for acclimatization as you reach Shira 2 Camp in the heart of the plateau.
Climb to Lava Tower (4,630m) for powerful acclimatization, then descend into the stunning Barranco Valley. Pass dramatic senecios and lobelias before arriving beneath the famous Barranco Wall — one of the most spectacular days on the mountain.
Conquer the exhilarating Barranco Wall early morning, then traverse the scenic ridge through the Karanga Valley. A shorter day that allows your body to adjust perfectly before the final summit push.
Trek through the barren alpine desert with its surreal giant lobelias and senecios. Reach Barafu Camp in the early afternoon for an early dinner and complete rest before your midnight summit attempt.
Midnight climb from Barafu to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) for a magical sunrise on the Roof of Africa! Celebrate your achievement with summit photos, then descend through the alpine desert to Barafu for a short rest, continue down through the rainforest to Mweka Gate.
