This more demanding 8-day trek is a fabulous way of getting to the summit.  Setting off from your hotel on the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro in Northern Tanzania, and after a briefing and registering for the trek, you’re off on an incredible climbing adventure. Commence your climb gradually, ascending through the forests up onto the moorlands with their spectacular views and finally into the Alpine meadows and across stone spree towards your goal, the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.  After each day’s trek (you’ll have a nourishing packed lunch with you) and upon reaching you reach campsite, porters will have set up camp, erecting your tent prior your arrival, and will have also prepared a delicious dinner.

During the first couple of days allowing extra time to acclimatize to the altitude, the more physically challenging walk from Barranco to Barafu and on to the summit begins.  The final push to the summit, Uhuru Peak, will be an event like no other as you test yourself against the elements. Can you imagine what the sunrise from the top of Africa’s tallest mountain is going to feel like? And, if successfully completing the climb, and once back at the Park gate, you will receive a summit certificate, an important memento of your achievement.
