Itinerary
Day 1: Moshi
Day 2: Moshi/Mti Mkubwa Camp
Day 3: Mti Mkubwa Camp/Shira 1 Camp
Day 4: Shira 1 Camp/Shira 2 Camp
Because the hiking time is only about 3 hours today, use the free time to take a number of short acclimatization walks around and above the Shira 2 Camp. This camp is more exposed than the previous night's camp. It may be windier and colder, with temperatures dropping to below freezing.
Day 5: Shira 2 Camp/Barranco Camp
Day 6: Barranco Camp/Karanga Camp
Day 7: Karanga Camp/Barafu Camp
In preparation for the final ascent the same night, you will familiarize yourself with the terrain before dark, and prepare your equipment and thermal clothing for the summit attempt. Sleep may be difficult, but lie down after dinner to try and rest for the 1295m final ascent.
Day 8: Barafu Camp/Mweka Camp
This stretch is the longest, and the most mentally and physically challenging of the trek. But the feeling of conquering Kilimanjaro will stay with you forever.
Day 9: Mweka Camp/Moshi
Arrive to Moshi in the afternoon. Time to relax, take a shower, and celebrate with a drink. Cheers to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro! Before dinner, you will be welcomed and congratulated on your climb by the mamas of the Moshi Women's Cooperative, a project supported by G Adventures. They will present you with a gift and a certificate to remember all your efforts on the mountain.
Opt to pre-book the Lala Salama Spa & Beauty Aromatherapy Massage, which partners with Moshi Women's Cooperative, by adding it to your checkout page, or ask your GCO or travel agent for assistance.
Day 10: Moshi/Stone Town
Transfer to the airport for a short, but scenic flight to this island paradise. Arrive in Stone Town in time for lunch and an orientation walk. If you opt to continue on for a longer tour of Stone Town, you will be visiting the Old Slave Market and Palace Museum; entrance to these sites are optional and are to be purchased on site.
Day 11: Beach day in Zanzibar

Amazing experience. So happy and proud that I climbed Kilimanjaro and ticked it off my bucket list although I wouldn’t do it again. Would definitely go back to Zanzibar however as it was the perfect end to such an experience.

Kilimanjaro was the most incredible experience of my life. I video-diaried the climb for the school children back home and returned a hero! : ) The humility and hardwork of the team led by Emmanuel and Eric was exceptional - thank you so much for a dream...

This was the trip of a lifetime. Summiting Kilimanjaro was an amazing experience and Zanzibar was the perfect place to relax afterwards.

A lifetime experience and would have not expected to receive so much support from the G Fighters team, in order to achieve our dream. Relaxing in Zanzibar after 7 days on the mountain was a bliss.

This was a once in a life time experience that i still cannot put into words or give it the description it deserves. From the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro everything went smoothly and we were made to feel comfortable and at ease from the first minute!...

The CEO, assistant CEOs and G Fighters on the mountain were amazing. I had a pretty rough time with the altitude at certain points but they very supportive. I might have given up otherwise.
