Day 3 : MACHAME CAMP TO SHIRA PLATEAU (12,500 ft)
Enjoy the fabulous view of Uhuru Peak as it greets you this morning.
Today’s trek takes you up a steep track through a savannah of tall
grasses, volcanic rock and bearded heather. You will encounter giant
groundsels as you hike through an ethereal landscape of volcanic lava,
caves and foaming streams.
Day 4 : SHIRA PLATEAU TO BARRANCO CAMP (13,000 ft).
On your 6 a.m. wake-up call today, you will find the entire Shira Plateau
at your feet, with sweeping views across to Mount Meru and the Shira

The lovely scenic climb to Barafu is mostly on alpine desert terrain; a
mainly mineral environment with few lichens and mosses. Mawenzi Peak
towers majestically to the right and Kibo Peak seems just a stone’s throw
away.
Day 7 : ASCENT TO SUMMIT (19,430 ft) / DESCENT TO MWEKA CAMP
(10,200 ft).
It is a this stage that the climb becomes much more difficult and hikers

six hours will bring you to the edge of the crater between Stella and Hans
Meyer points. Another hour of climbing brings you to the summit.
