Itinerary
Arrival at Kilimanjaro airport,Dar es Salaam or Nairobi airport where you will meet us for the transfer to Arusha town Karama Lodge< www.karama-lodge.com > for overnight on bed and breakfast services.
Drive from Arusha to Londorossi Park Gate (2250 m, 2 hours). From here a forest track requiring a 4WD vehicle leads to Lemosho Glades (2100 m, 11 km, 45 minutes).Walk along forest trails to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) campsite, (2750 m, 3 hours).
The trail gradually steepens and enters the giant heather moorland zone. Several streams are crossed then it gains the Shira Ridge at about 3600 m and drops gently down to Shira 1 camp located by a stream on the Shira Plateau (3500 m, 5 hours) for overnight.
A gentle walk across the plateau leads to Shira 2 camp on moorland meadows by a stream (3850 m, 1.5 hours). A variety of walks are available on the Plateau making this an excellent acclimatization day.
Continue east towards Kibo passing the junction, then east towards the Lava Tower. Shortly after this, you descend to Barranco Camp (3940 m, 4 hours).
A short scramble to the top of the Great Barranco and then a traverse over scree and ridges to the Karanga Valley (4000 m, 3 hours), beneath the icefalls of the Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers. After climbing out of the Karanga Valley the trail ascends a ridge to the Barafu Camp, a bleak location with little vegetation at 4600 m, (3 hours walking).
An early start for the ascent to the rim of the Kibo Crater between the Rebmann and Ratzel Glaciers, (4 hours); the last section before the rim can sometimes be snow-covered and an ice-axe or ski stick is useful for balance. From here a further hour leads to Uhuru Peak 5895m, from where there are often fine views of Meru to the west and the jagged peak of Mawenzi to the east. Descend to the Barafu Camp 4600m for a rest and lunch before continuing on down to camp at Mweka Camp 3100m in the giant heather zone on the forest edge. Those with energy on the summit may wish to descend to the Reutsh Crater and visit the dramatic ice pinnacles of the Eastern Icefields.
A 3-4 hour descent through beautiful forest brings you to the Mweka Park gate to meet your transport for transfer to Arusha town Karama Lodge< www.karama-lodge.com > for overnight on bed and breakfast services.
