The day begins with a steep climb over gentle rocky slopes, then continues with a steady ascent to the Lava Tower at 4,600 meters — a striking volcanic formation standing 150 meters tall. Lunch is usually around midday. Because of the high altitude, some hikers may experience mild headaches. After reaching the Lava Tower, you’ll descend for about two hours along a dusty, rocky path to Barranco Camp, where you’ll spend the night.

Here, you’ll join climbers from the Marangu and Rongai routes and proceed together toward Uhuru Peak. The final hour leads to the summit (5,895m), where you may witness the sunrise either at Stella Point, along the way, or at the peak itself. After 10–15 minutes of photos and taking in the views, you’ll descend to Barafu Camp for brunch and rest, then continue down to Mweka Camp.

After breakfast, you’ll begin your final descent to Mweka Gate (1,640 meters), where you will receive your summit certificates. The lower trail can be wet and muddy, so it’s advisable to use gaiters and trekking poles. Light clothing like shorts and T-shirts is usually enough, but keep your rain gear and warm layers nearby. Once at the gate, our vehicle will be waiting to take you back to your luxury hotel in Moshi for a refreshing hot shower and a cold beer. The 10km trek through the lush rainforest takes 3 to 4 hours.
