Day 1

Mount Kilimanjaro

This is where all of your planning becomes a reality: your safari starts now. Tanzania is such a wonderful country when it comes to wildlife and beautiful landscapes. After we greet you and answer any questions you might have, we'll take great pleasure in taking you out and showing you what we mean.

The best views of Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain, may be from Kenya, but it’s here in Tanzania where you actually get to climb it. The forests and small villages in the lower foothills soon give way to thinning crowds and more open country as the slopes steepen.

Accommodation Day 1

Machame Camp

Mountain hut

Located along the Machame Route for climbing Africa's tallest mountain, Machame Camp (2835m) is a busy campsite with plenty of space to pitch a tent and there are still a few trees around at this altitude. The views are wonderful, especially where Mt Kilimanjaro rises to the north, and there are plenty of other travelers for you to meet.

Day 2

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 2

Shira Camp 1

Camping

We think you'll enjoy Shira Camp 1, which inhabits a plateau at 3810m and sees fewer travelers than many other Kilimanjaro campsites. There are no facilities here, but you should be able to see Kilimanjaro's Kibo summit north-east from your tent, and Mount Meru to the west. Although there are no trees, the scrubby vegetation adds a tinge of green.

Day 3

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 3

Barranco Camp

Camping

Along a number of routes that climb Mt Kilimanjaro, including the Machame Route, Barranco Camp (3983m) is typical of the desert-like landscapes that occur here above the tree line. You'll be camping here (there are no huts or buildings for accommodation), and you'll wake up to views of the summit from the camping area.

Day 4

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 4

Barafu Camp

Mountain hut

Barafu Camp, which lies along a number of climbing routes on Mt Kilimanjaro, is at an altitude of 4681m. The name 'barafu' means 'ice' in Swahili, which refers to the cold temperatures that you will encounter here. The views are big and the landscape is bare, and there are always plenty of other climbers camping at Barafu.

Day 5

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 5

Mweka Camp

Camping

There's always a real sense of excitement at Mweka Camp, which lies at an altitude of 3060m and along four different descent-only routes down off the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. There's more oxygen here, and everyone enjoys that the most difficult sections of the climb are now behind you. The views in the area are also beautiful.

Day 6

The last day with us
