Embark on your journey as your guide and mountain support crew arrive at your hotel. After a 3-4 hour drive, you’ll reach Kilimanjaro National Park’s western entrance, Londorossi Gate. Following the quick process of obtaining climbing permits and registering with search and rescue services, you’ll continue your ascent by off-road vehicles to a drop-off point at 3,414 m / 11,200 ft, where you’ll catch your first breathtaking view of the Shira Plateau.
From here, the trek to your first high-altitude camp, Shira 2, begins with a moderate altitude gain. This relatively easy stretch allows you to begin acclimatizing to the altitude. Upon arrival, our professional mountain crew will have the camp set up, with tents ready and dinner in preparation.
➔ Please Note: As this is your first day at high altitude, it’s important to follow key guidelines: Drink over 4 liters of water daily, in small, frequent sips. Consider using altitude sickness prevention medications, and consult your doctor before the trek to address any health concerns. At night, the reduced oxygen levels may lead to mild symptoms of altitude sickness such as headaches. Pay attention to your body and inform your guide if you experience any discomfort.

This day begins with an early wake-up and a hearty breakfast before you start your climb up the Barranco Wall. To avoid congestion from other groups, it’s recommended to leave camp as early as possible. The hike up the wall is not too challenging and takes about an hour. Once at the top, take some time to rest and enjoy the spectacular views of the Kibo volcano while capturing memorable photos.
Following this, you will embark on a more challenging trek to Karanga Camp, which involves several ascents and descents along the way. Don’t worry—our expert guides will ensure the group moves at the optimal pace. Upon arrival at Karanga Camp, a warm lunch will be provided. After resting for a few hours, you’ll complete an acclimatization hike towards Barafu Camp, gaining an altitude of 300 m / 984 ft, before descending back to Karanga Camp.
➔Note: The acclimatization hike is a short and easy trek designed to help your body adjust to the altitude. Taking this seriously is essential for increasing your chances of successfully summiting Kilimanjaro and reducing the risk of altitude sickness.
