KILIMANJARO. The Roof of Africa.

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, meet the Altezza representative, and transfer about 50 minutes to Aishi Machame Hotel.

Drive to the western entrance, complete park registration, then begin with a gentle hike across the Shira Plateau to the first high-altitude camp.

A light trek across high moorland, with an optional ascent of Cathedral Peak and an afternoon acclimatization hike toward Lava Tower.

Climb through repeated ascents and descents to Lava Tower for lunch and acclimatization, then descend to Barranco Camp beneath the famous wall.

Start early to climb Barranco Wall, pause for Kibo views, then cross a rolling series of ascents and descents to Karanga Camp.

Ascend to Kosovo Summit Camp, settle into camp at 4,870 meters, and spend the remainder of the day resting before the midnight summit push.

Depart around midnight for the final ascent. Reach Uhuru Peak at sunrise, celebrate at 5,895 meters, then descend to Kosovo Camp for a short rest before continuing to Millennium Camp.

Descend through tropical rainforest to Mweka Gate, receive summit certificates, and transfer back to Aishi Machame Hotel.

Slow down, recover by the pool or explore locally, then transfer about one hour from Aishi Machame to Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge.

Sleep in and recharge at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge. Enjoy the gardens, pool, terrace, and an all-inclusive meal plan.

Descend into the ancient caldera in the quieter morning hours. Look for elephants, buffalo, lions, cheetahs, zebras, and the endangered black rhino, with lunch near the Hippo Pool.

Transfer about one hour from Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge to Kilimanjaro Airport. Plan to leave four hours before an international flight or three hours before a domestic flight.
