Machame Gate to Machame Camp
Elevation: 5,380 ft to 9,350 ft Distance: 11 km | 7 miles
Hiking Time: 5-7 hours Habitat: Rain Forest Zone
The drive from Moshi to the Machame Gate takes about 50 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. As we leave the park gate, we walk through the dense rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge until we reach the Machame Camp.
Machame Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Elevation: 9,350 ft to 12,500 ft Distance: 5 km | 3 miles
Hiking Time: 4-6 hours Habitat: Moorland Zone
We leave the glades of the rain forest and continue on an ascending path up to a steep, rocky ridge. On the Shira Plateau, we pass through heather and open moorlands, then cross a large river gorge to Shira 2 Camp.
Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower
Elevation: 12,500 ft. to 15,190 ft. Hiking Time: 4-5 hours
Distance: 7 km | 4 miles
Habitat: Alpine Desert
Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
Elevation: 15,190 ft to 13,044 ft Distance: 3 km | 2 miles
Hiking Time: 2-3 hours Habitat: Alpine Desert Zone
We continue to the east up a ridge and then head southeast towards the Lava Tower – a 300 ft tall volcanic rock formation. We descend down to Barranco Camp through the strange but beautiful Senecio Forest to an altitude of 13,000 ft. Although you begin and end the day at the same elevation, the time spent at higher altitude is very beneficial for acclimatization.
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Elevation: 13,044 ft to 13,106 ft Distance: 5 km | 3 miles
Hiking Time: 4-5 hours Habitat: Alpine Desert Zone
We begin the day by descending into a ravine to the base of the Great Barranco Wall. Then we climb the non-technical but steep, nearly 900-foot cliff. From the top of the Barranco Wall we cross a series of hills and valleys until we descend sharply into Karanga Valley. One more steep climb up leads us to Karanga Camp. This is a shorter day meant for acclimatization
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Elevation: 13,106 ft to 15,331 ft Distance: 4 km | 2 miles
Hiking Time: 4-5 hours Habitat: Alpine Desert Zone
We leave Karanga and hit the junction, which connects with the Mweka Trail. We continue up to the rocky section to Barafu Hut. At this point, you have completed the Southern Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Here we make camp, rest and enjoy an early dinner to prepare for the summit day. The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are viewable from this position.
Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak and descent to millennium camp
Elevation: 15,331 ft to 19,341 ft Distance: 12 km | 8 miles
Hiking Time: 7-8 hours Habitat: Arctic Zone
Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our push to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. The wind and cold at this elevation and time of day can be extreme. We ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent, but short, breaks. Near Stella Point (18,900 ft), you will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak. Finally, we arrive at Uhuru Peak- the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, stopping at Barafu for lunch. The trail is very rocky and can be quite hard on the knees; trekking poles are helpful. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Later in the evening, we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.
Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate
Elevation: 10,065 ft to 5,380 ft Distance: 10 km | 6 miles
Hiking Time: 3-4 hours Habitat: Rain Forest
On our last day, we continue the descent to Mweka Gate and collect the summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. From the gate, we continue another hour to Mweka Village. A vehicle will meet us at Mweka Village to drive us back to the hotel in Moshi.

FAQs
How long does it take to climb Kilimanjaro?
The climb takes a minimum of 5 days, but most expeditions range from 6 to 8 days to allow better acclimatization and improve summit success rates. Longer routes, including those with an overnight stay in the crater, can extend to 10 days or more.
How difficult is it to climb Kilimanjaro?
Kilimanjaro presents a moderate challenge but is achievable for most people. With proper acclimatization and a reliable climbing operator, even those without prior mountain experience can successfully reach the summit.
What should you pack for Kilimanjaro?
A Kilimanjaro trek takes you through five climatic zones, from tropical forests to Arctic conditions. Temperatures range from +20°C (68°F) at the base to -15°C (5°F) at the summit at night. With unpredictable weather that can shift from sunshine to rain or wind in minutes, having the right clothing, footwear, sleeping bag, trekking poles, and other essentials is key to a safe and comfortable climb.
Can a beginner climb Kilimanjaro?
Yes, Kilimanjaro is beginner-friendly, even without prior trekking experience. Success depends more on proper acclimatization than hiking skills, with a 7–8-day route being ideal. To increase your chances of reaching the summit, choose a trusted outfitter and follow your guides’ safety advice.
When is the best time to climb Kilimanjaro?
The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is from late December to early March and mid-June to late October when the weather is most favorable. While other months may bring some rain, it usually falls later in the day, leaving trekkers with clear conditions for most of their journey. Some days may even be completely dry, making climbs possible year-round.
How much does it cost to climb Kilimanjaro?
As of 2025, a safe and comfortable 7-day climb costs around INR 2,90,000, with park entrance fees making up about 35% of the total. Be cautious of lower prices, as they often come at the cost of porter mistreatment. Budget operators tend to underpay and poorly feed their crews, compromising both their well-being and the safety of trekkers.
How should I train for the climb?
A moderate fitness level is essential for a comfortable and successful Kilimanjaro climb. You should be able to run 5 km (3 mi) with ease and complete a 10 km (6+ mi) hike in a day. The best training methods include swimming, cycling, running, and hiking.
What are the dangers of climbing Kilimanjaro?
The main risk on Kilimanjaro is acute mountain sickness (AMS) due to poor acclimatization. In severe cases, it can lead to cerebral or pulmonary edema, both life-threatening conditions responsible for about ten deaths per year on the mountain.
Fortunately, AMS is preventable. opt for a seven-day or longer itinerary, stay hydrated, and walk at a slow pace to adapt to altitude changes. Guide expertise is critical—choose an operator with certified Wilderness First Responder guides trained for emergency situations. For further details, read our acclimatization on Kilimanjaro article.
When will Kilimanjaro’s glaciers disappear?
Scientists estimate that Kilimanjaro’s glaciers may vanish between 2040 and 2060 due to climate change and declining snowfall. The rapidly shrinking Furtwängler Glacier is a striking example of these environmental changes affecting Africa’s highest peak.
Who was the first to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
In 1889, German geographer Hans Meyer and Austrian climber Ludwig Purtscheller became the first to summit Kilimanjaro. Their expedition overcame extreme conditions, setting the stage for future climbers.
