Western approach from Londorossi Gate with fewer crowds
Day by Day
8 days, one unforgettable route — crafted by Inspirations Africa.
Drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate for registration, then a short transfer to the trailhead. Hike through gentle montane rainforest, rich in birdlife and with black-and-white colobus monkeys in the canopy, to Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp.
Climb out of the rainforest into the giant heather and moorland zone, emerging onto the Shira Plateau with your first views of Kibo. Overnight at Shira 1 Camp.
Cross the open Shira Plateau, one of the highest plateaus on Earth, with an optional acclimatisation hike to Shira Cathedral. Gentle gain in altitude to Shira 2 Camp.
Climb high, sleep low. Ascend to Lava Tower at 4,630m for acclimatisation and lunch, then descend into the Barranco Valley through giant groundsel and lobelia to Barranco Camp beneath the Barranco Wall.
Scramble the Barranco Wall, a non-technical but exposed section that is a highlight of the route, then cross a series of valleys to Karanga Camp. Short day to aid acclimatisation.
Trek through alpine desert to Barafu, the summit base camp. Early dinner, equipment check and summit briefing, then rest before the midnight start.
Begin at midnight, climbing scree switchbacks by headtorch to Stella Point at dawn, then along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. Descend to Barafu for brunch, then continue down to Millennium Camp at 3,820m.
Final descent through rainforest to Mweka Gate, where you receive your summit certificate. Transfer to your hotel in Moshi for a well-earned shower and celebration.
