Drive to Londorossi gate, where you will complete entry formalities. We then proceed to the Lemosho trailhead. Upon arrival at the trailhead, we begin the hike through untouched forest that winds its way to the first camp.

We continue on the trail that leads out of the rainforest and into a savannah of tall grasses, heather and volcanic rocks draped in lichen beards..

We explore the Shira plateau for a full day. It's a gentle walk eastwards over moorland meadows towards Shira 2 camp..

We start the day climbing a ridge, then head southeast towards the Lava Tower - a 300-foot- high volcanic rock formation..

We start the day by descending a ravine to the base of the great Barranco wall. Then we climb the non-technical but steep 900-foot cliff..

We leave Karanga and reach the junction with the Mweka trail. We continue to the rocky section of Barafu Hut..

Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our push towards the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging part of the trek..

On the last day, we descend to Mweka Gate and collect summit certificates. At low altitudes, it can be wet and muddy, then our driver will pick you up and transfer you to Arusha for the night..
