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

Karanga Camp

Camping

Landscapes of austere beauty surround you and the oxygen is pretty thin at Karanga Camp, which lies high on Mt Kilimanjaro at an altitude of 3995m. You're well above the treeline here, in a terrain known as an alpine desert. The summit is clearly visible high above you, there's plenty of space to pitch your tent, and there are always many other climbers around with whom to swap stories.

Day 5

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 5

Barafu Camp

Mountain hut

When you stay at Barafu Camp, at an altitude of 4681m on Mt Kilimanjaro, you're surrounded by a landscape where nothing grows and the views extend out across the mountain's high and treeless valleys. 'Barafu' means 'ice' in Swahili and it's always cold up here, as well as beautiful. Enjoy talking with the other climbers who've reached this milestone.

Day 6

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation Day 6

Mweka Camp

Camping

You know you're on the way down when you stay at Mweka Camp, a descent-only camp along four different routes down from the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. Here at an altitude of 3060m, you can start to breathe a little easier, and there's always a good feeling with other climbers happy and excited to be on the way down. The views here are spectacular.

Day 7

The last day with us
