This adventure starts off with a few long days as you gain altitude, and has several days built in to help you acclimatize, improving your chances of making the summit. Enjoy the climb through magnificent forests and moorland, and emerge into high-alpine deserts as you enjoy spectacular views along the way to the summit.

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.

My experience of G was truly amazing. Prob the best trip I’ve ever had. My opinion of G Adventures staff is off the scale. They worked so hard for us. They sang, danced, smiled and joked and were there for me when I needed help on the final ascent/descen.

Incredible experience! I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful hike as everything was taken care of. The CEOs were quick at responding to any issues and made the experience more enjoyable. I couldn’t have made it to the top without the amazing team

I have absolutely no negative feedback for this trip; it was flawless. The service from all the staff was excellent. If you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro but are unsure, this is the right trip for you. I also highly recommend the Lemosho route

It was an epic experience. I laughed and I cried and at times thought I wouldn’t make it, but there was always someone there to encourage me forward. Pole ,Pole .

My G Adventures trek to Kilimanjaro was an exceptional experience. Not only was it in beautiful countryside, but the trek was superbly organised, paced, planned and supported by a skilled team.

James and his group, by their experience and actions, led this group to a 100% summit success rate. G Adventures should be extremely proud of James, Robin, Adolph, and the entire G team.

Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is a bucket list adventure for many people. Emanuel and our team of guides and porters truly made our experience better. Given the conditions, we had relative comfort the whole way up the mountain from their attentive support.

The experience of a lifetime. I have gone to Annapurna Base Camp, W trek in Patagonia, many trips hiking in Canadian and US Rockies and this was by far the most challenging thing I have ever done (and I keep myself very fit).
