Enjoy a comfortable stay with modern amenities including a pool, internet, and friendly service. In the evening, attend a detailed briefing with your guides to prepare for the climb. Note: Check-in starts at 2:00 PM. For shared group transfers, align your arrival and departure times to avoid extra costs.
  • Day 2: High-Altitude Drop-Off and Trek to Shira 1 Camp
    After breakfast, drive to Londorossi Gate (2,250 m) for registration, then continue to the drop-off point (3,414 m) where your trek begins. Hike across the Shira Plateau to reach Shira 1 Camp (3,505 m), enjoying vast open views and gentle terrain ideal for early acclimatization. Trekking time: 1 hour | Distance: 4 km (2.4 miles)
  • Day 3: Trek from Shira 1 Camp to Shira 2 Camp
    Continue trekking across the plateau to Shira 2 Camp (3,850 m). The day is light and scenic, with panoramic views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro’s western slopes. After lunch and rest, take an acclimatization hike toward Lava Tower (4,110 m) before returning for dinner and overnight. Trekking time: 3–4 hours | Distance: 7 km (4.3 miles)
  • Day 4: Trek from Shira 2 to Moir Hut via Lava Tower
    Climb gradually to Lava Tower (4,600 m), where you’ll pause for lunch and acclimatization before descending to Moir Hut Camp. This day offers a good test of endurance and the first real exposure to high altitude. Trekking time: 5–7 hours | Distance: 14 km (8.7 miles)
  • Day 5: Trek from Moir Hut to Buffalo Camp
    Begin with a short, steep climb out of Moir Valley, then follow a gentler path along Kilimanjaro’s northern slopes. Enjoy stunning views of Kenya’s Tsavo and Amboseli valleys as you make your way to Buffalo Camp (4,020 m). Trekking time: 5–7 hours | Distance: 12 km (7.4 miles)
  • Day 6: Trek from Buffalo Camp to Third Cave Camp
    Continue across the northern face of Kilimanjaro toward Third Cave Camp (3,870 m). The trek is shorter and more relaxed, allowing your body to fully adjust to the altitude. Trekking time: 4–6 hours | Distance: 8 km (4.9 miles)
  • Day 7: Trek from Third Cave Camp to School Hut
    Ascend steadily to School Hut (4,800 m), your base camp before the summit attempt. The day’s trek is moderate; conserve your energy, hydrate well, and rest early for the midnight climb to Uhuru Peak. Trekking time: 4–5 hours | Distance: 5 km (3.1 miles)
  • Day 8: Ascent to Uhuru Peak and Descent to Millennium Camp
    Begin your final ascent around midnight, guided one-on-one by Evya Adventures’ experienced summit leaders. Reach Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the Roof of Africa, in time for sunrise and breathtaking views. After celebrating, descend to Barafu Camp for rest, then continue to Millennium Camp (3,950 m). Trekking time: 10–13 hours | Distance: 16 km (9.9 miles)
  • Day 9: Descent from Millennium Camp to Mweka Gate
    After breakfast, make your final descent through lush rainforest to Mweka Gate (1,640 m). Celebrate your achievement, receive your Evya Adventures summit certificate, and transfer back to your hotel for a well-deserved rest. Trekking time: 4–5 hours | Distance: 12 km (7.4 miles)
