Kilimanjaro hiking with Purpose

For those seeking an adventure-filled hiking experience, the Kilimanjaro trip via the Machame Route is highly recommended. This route is known for its stunning scenery and provides a mix of challenge and adventure, making it suitable for climbers of all experience levels. The seven-day climb allows for acclimatization to high altitudes and includes various points along the way, enhancing the overall experience.

On the first day, climbers will travel from Moshi to the Machame gate, beginning a gentle hike through a misty forest, culminating at Machame camp for the night.

The second day involves a trek from Machame camp to Shira camp, featuring spectacular views of the Kibo volcanic cone and a picturesque sunset. Climbers will ascend to the Shira camp after navigating through the moorland and crossing a steep ridge.

Day three presents a long hike up to the Lava Tower, where climbers will tackle altitude challenges before descending to the Baranco valley to camp.

On the fourth day, climbers face the Baranco wall—a short but strenuous climb. The day will conclude at Karanga camp, where climbers will recharge for the following day.

The hike on day five leads through alpine desert landscapes to Barafu camp, with stunning views of both Kibo and Mawenzi cones. Climbers will prepare for the summit push from Barafu camp later that evening.

Summit Day is a challenging experience, starting in the pre-dawn darkness. Climbers will journey to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, before descending to Mweka camp for the night.

On the final day, climbers will trek from Mweka camp back to the Mweka gate, concluding an unforgettable experience in Kilimanjaro's breathtaking environment.

Included in the tour are airport transfers, accommodations in Moshi, meals throughout the climb, and support from experienced guides and porters. However, personal expenses such as flights, travel insurance, and tips for the crew are not covered.
