6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame Route to Uhuru Peak

• The guides and mountain support crew will meet you at the hotel in the morning for a quick briefing session, after which you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro National Park's entrance gate, Machame Gate (1,800 m).
• After acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will begin hiking up to Machame Camp (3,010 m). The route passes through the rainforest, where tropical showers are highly probable, so we recommend bringing spare clothes and raincoats.

• After breakfast, you will trek up to the second high-altitude camp, Shira Camp (3,845 m).
• Today, you will emerge from the dense rainforest and, for the first time, be able to see magnificent views of the Shira Plateau laid out in front of you. Physically, the trek is not very difficult. Still, you may feel the changes in altitude, so take care of your body and remember that choosing the proper pace is very important for a successful trek.
• Once you reach the camp, we will have lunch and some rest, after which the group will embark on an acclimatization hike towards Lava Tower Camp.

Back at Shira Camp, enjoy a delicious hot dinner.

• After breakfast, we will leave Shira Camp (3,845 m) and begin our way to the main point of the route: Lava Tower (4,630 m). This route has many ascents and descents and ends at an altitude of over 4,600 meters. It might be difficult, and you may feel some discomfort, but to acclimatize successfully to the height, you need to spend at least 1 to 2 hours here, so we will take a lunch break.
• Then you will descend to Barranco Camp (3,960 m). Here, you can see Barranco Wall, impressive in both its massive size and steepness. The next day you will be climbing it, but do not worry - it features a short hiking trail.

• Early in the morning, wake up, have breakfast, and proceed to the summit of Barranco Wall. Hiking up the gorge wall is comparatively easy and takes only around an hour. After the hike, you can rest and take photos in front of the Kibo volcano.
• Then, begin a more strenuous hike to Karanga Camp, which features various ascents and descents along the route, but our guides will choose an optimal pace for the group. Once we reach the camp, you will be served a hot lunch.
• After a few hours, you will ascend to Barafu Camp (4,640 m), where you will be served a delicious dinner. We recommend spending the remainder of the day resting and sleeping before the night summit.

• Depart from Barafu Camp (4,640 m) at night and begin the summit climb of Kilimanjaro to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m). Technically, the climb is comparatively simple; however, the most difficult part is the high altitude. Each pair of hikers will get a personal guide for the entire ascent to monitor your physical and mental condition.
• After your successful ascent to Uhuru Peak, you can descend to the nearest glacier if you wish. Then we will return to Barafu Camp and, after a 2-hour rest, continue the descent to Millennium Camp (3,820 m).

• After a warm breakfast, we will head for the park's exit: Mweka Gate (1,640 m).
• After your descent, the whole group will gather to congratulate you, followed by an invitation to share your opinions on the hike in the guestbook.
• Finally, we will present you with your commemorative certificates at our office and provide a transfer back to the hotel.
