Kilimanjaro Tour Overview

Experience the wonders of Tanzania with the "Majestic Safari Retreat: 7 Days of Exclusive Adventure," a journey designed for those seeking an in-depth exploration of the country’s most remarkable wildlife regions.

Starting with a relaxing stay at Gran Melia in Arusha, the safari leads to Tarangire National Park, known for its elephant herds, baobabs, and vibrant birdlife. Guests then travel to the Serengeti, where they explore central and eastern regions, witnessing the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, and more, with stays at the upscale Serena Hotel.

A hot air balloon ride on Day 5 provides sweeping views of the Serengeti, followed by a bush breakfast and more game drives. The adventure continues in the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique ecosystem rich with wildlife, where guests might spot black rhinos and flamingos.

Kilimanjaro Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Lemosho Glades to Big Tree Camp

The trek begins at an altitude of about 2,100 meters (6,890 feet). As you start your journey through lush montane forest, you'll notice the air is relatively dense with oxygen. This initial segment helps your body adjust to the increase in altitude gradually. Diner overnight at Big Tree camp

Day 2

Big Tree Camp to Shira 1 Camp

On this day, you ascend to approximately 3,500 meters (11,480 feet) at Shira 1 Camp. The transition from the forest zone to the moorland zone is significant. As you climb higher, the air pressure and oxygen levels decrease, making it essential to take your time and hydrate well to avoid altitude sickness. Dinner and Overnight at Shira 1 Camp.

Day 3

Shira 1 Camp to Shira 2 Camp

The trek to Shira 2 Camp involves reaching an altitude of around 3,850 meters (12,630 feet). This stage involves a moderate climb, giving you a good view of the expansive Shira Plateau. The lower oxygen levels might start to be more noticeable, so maintaining a steady pace is important. Dinner and Overnight at Shira 2 Camp.

Day 4

Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp

This day involves a significant altitude gain, reaching up to 4,600 meters (15,090 feet) at Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp at around 3,950 meters (12,960 feet). This is a critical acclimatization day; the climb to Lava Tower helps your body adjust to the higher altitude, while the descent to Barranco Camp aids in better acclimatization and prepares you for the summit attempt. Dinner and Overnight at Barranco Camp.

Day 5

Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

You ascend from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp, reaching an altitude of about 4,000 meters (13,120 feet). This day involves climbing over the Barranco Wall, which is a notable challenge. The altitude starts to feel more demanding, but the relatively short distance helps in acclimatizing further. Dinner and Overnight at Karanga Camp.

Day 6

Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

From Karanga Camp, you'll climb to Barafu Camp at about 4,600 meters (15,090 feet). Barafu Camp is the base for the final ascent to the summit. The higher altitude at this camp can cause noticeable symptoms of altitude sickness, so it's crucial to rest and hydrate well. Dinner and Overnight at Barafu camp.

Day 7

Barafu Camp to Summit and Descent to Mweka Camp

The final push to the summit involves a dramatic climb to Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). The altitude at the summit is very high, and the oxygen levels are much lower, making the climb challenging. After reaching the peak, you'll descend to Mweka Camp at approximately 3,100 meters (10,170 feet). The descent helps your body recover from the effects of high altitude, and the reduced altitude at Mweka Camp provides a more comfortable environment for resting.

Throughout the trek, the gradual ascent of the Lemosho Route is designed to help climbers acclimate to increasing altitudes, which is essential for a successful summit and safe return. Proper acclimatization minimizes the risks of altitude sickness, making the Lemosho Route a favorable choice for many climbers.
