Machame
The Kilimanjaro mountain is Africa's highest mountain and the worlds tallest free-standing mountain at 5895 meters above sea level. It has three major volcanic centers which are Shira (4160 m), snow-capped Kibo (5895 m) and Mawenzi. When driving from Moshi to the gate, you will see coffee and banana plantations which are food and cash crops grown by locals. Dinner and overnight at Machame hut you can sleep early to serve the energy for the following day.
Machame Kusini
After breakfast, we leave the glades of the rain forest and continue on an ascending path, crossing the little valley walking along a steep rocky ridge, covered with heather, until the ridge ends. The route now turns west onto a river gorge. About three to four hours walk arrive for time to rest, dinner, and overnight at the Shira campsite.
Mount Kilimanjaro
From the Shira Plateau, we continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the "Shark's Tooth." Shortly after the tower, we come to the second junction which brings us up to the Arrow Glacier at an altitude of 4876m/15,997 ft. We now continue down to the Barranco Hut at an altitude of 3860m/12,664 ft. Here we rest, enjoy dinner, and overnight. Although you end the day at the same elevation as when you started, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day while dinner and overnight at Millennium camp.
