hours, but this rest is required for adequate acclimatization. The west face of Kibo volcano (usually referred as
Kilimanjaro) looms above the campsite. Have lunch, set up camp, rest or take a day hike. This hike traverses the
lower moorland where large shrubs and wildflowers dominate 5 the landscape.
Transfer from Shira camp1 to Shira Camp 2 for an over night
Wake up for breakfast, break camp, and begin a short hike to Shira Camp2. The hike from Shira Camp 1 to Shira Camp 2 on Mount Kilimanjaro is a gradual ascent through the moorland zone. The trail winds its way through a landscape of short bushes, occasional rocks, and breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and peaks.
As you climb, the air becomes thinner, and you may start to feel the effects of altitude. It's important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. The trail can be exposed to the elements, so be prepared for changing weather conditions, including wind, rain, and sun. The highlight of this hike is the stunning panorama from Shira Ridge, where you can see the vast expanse of the Shira Plateau and the glaciers of Kibo Peak in the distance. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching Shira Camp 2, knowing you've conquered another leg of your Kilimanjaro journey, is truly rewarding.
Remember to stay hydrated, pace yourself, and enjoy the incredible sceneries.

Hike from Shira Camp 2 Lava tower | Barranco camp
Shira Camp2| Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
Altitude: 3,840 m – 3,960 m
Hiking distance: 11 km
Hiking time: 7–8 hours
The route now turns east into a semi desert and rocky landscape surrounding Lava Tower, where you reach an
altitude of 4630m after about a 5 hours walk. Lunch is served in a designated area before ascending the rocky scree
path to Lava Tower (4630m). Definitely the toughest day so far. It is normally around this point, where for the first
time, some climbers will start to feel symptoms of breathlessness, irritability and headaches. After lunch, you
descent again by almost 680m to the Barranco camping area and after reaching the high altitude of 4600m at Lava
Tower, the true acclimatization benefit of this day becomes clear.
The camp is situated in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Wall, which should provide you with a
memorable sunset while you wait for the preparation of your dinner and overnight at Barranco Camp.

Hiking distance: 11 km
Hiking time: 7–8 hours
Totally exposed to the ever-present gales the tents are pitched on a narrow, stony, and dangerous ridge. Make sure
that you familiarise yourself with the terrain before dark to avoid any accidents. The summit is now a further 1345m
up and you will make the final ascent the same night. Prepare your equipment, ski stick and thermal clothing for your
summit attempt. This should include the replacement of your headlamp and camera batteries and make sure you
have a spare set available as well. To prevent freezing it will be wise to carry your water in a thermal flask. Go to
bed at round about 19h00 and try to get some precious rest and sleep for not more than 5-hours.
From Barafu camp Summit to Mweka camp
Barafu Camp | Summit to Mweka Camp
You will rise around 23h30, and after some tea and biscuits you shuffle off into the night. You will head in a north-
westerly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This 6-hour walk to Stella
point is for many climbers, mentally and physically the most challenging on the route. At Stella Point (5685m) you
will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather
permitting). From Stella Point, you will normally encounter snow all the way on your 2-hour ascent to Uhuru Peak.
The time you will spend on the summit will depend on the weather conditions. Enjoy your accomplishment and a day to remember for the rest of your life. Dinner and over night at Mweka camp. After Breakfast, From the Mweka Gate, you will continue down into the Mweka village to mosh thus marking the end of your safari as you travel back home.
