Day 1
Trekking From Londorosi gate to Mti mkubwa Camp
A guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at the hotel in the morning in order to meet you and hold another briefing, after which you will travel by vehicle (roughly 3-4 hours) to Kilimanjaro National Park's western entrance: Londorossi Gate (2,200 m). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will start trekking towards the first camp of the route: Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,780 m). Raincoats are necessary on this day in particular, as you will be walking through rainforest. By the time you reach the camp, our professional mountain crew will prepare everything necessary, put tents and cook lunch for you. Change in Elevation: Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,780 m) — Destination point end route to Shira 1 Camp (3,095 m) Hiking distance: 2 km Hiking time: 1 hour. Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Trekking from mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira1 camp
An early wakeup, breakfast, and a gradual trek upwards until 3,500 meters; at that point for the first time you will be able to see stunning views of Shira Plateau and Kibo Volcano. On the whole, the passage from Mti Mkubwa Camp to the second high-altitude Shira 1 Camp (3,505 m) is rather easy and takes about 5-6 hours. This will allow you to start the acclimatization process gradually, which is a mainstay of good trekking. When you reach the camp, your team of specialists will cook you lunch and you will have the chance to rest in your tent or walk around the nearby area. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
From Shira1 camp to Shira2 Camp
Departing from Shira 1 Camp (3,505 m) and a light trekking towards the second high altitude camp: Shira 2 Camp (3,900 m). This trek is not difficult and you will be able to enjoy spectacular views of Africa and the unique flora of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area. Shira 2 Camp is the best place on the trip to see Mount Meru (the fifth summit of Africa), weather permitting. When you arrive at camp you will have lunch, and after a two-hour rest everyone will complete an acclimatization hike towards Lava Tower Camp that features a 300meter gain in altitude. Acclimatization hike: Change in Elevation: Shira 2 Camp (3,900 m) — Destination point end route to Lava Tower (4,270 m) Hiking distance: 2 km Hiking time: 1–2 hours. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 4
Shira2 camp to the lave tower and descend to Barranco camp
After breakfast you will leave Shira 2 Camp (3,900 m) and start your way to the key point of the route: Lava Tower (4,630 m). This section of the route has a lot of ascents and descents that end in a camp at over 4,600 meters. It might be difficult, and you may feel some discomfort, but in order to successfully acclimate to the altitude you have to spend at least 1–2 hours here, so this is where lunch will be. Then you will descend to Barranco Camp (3,960 m). Here you can see the famous Barranco Wall, impressive in both its massive size and steepness! Next day you will be climbing it, but don't worry: it features a very simple hiking trail. Note: If one or more participants feel sick, the group may refrain from passing the Lava Tower and adjust the route, following instead the road for porters. In this case you will not reach an altitude of 4,630 meters, getting up only to a maximum of 4,400 meters. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 5
Barranco Camp to Karranga Camp
Early wakeup, breakfast and the start of summiting Barranco Wall (we recommend you leave the camp as early as possible to avoid crowds of the other groups). Hiking up the gorge wall is not difficult and only takes around an hour. After the climb you can have a rest and take photos in front of the Kibo volcano. Then you start a more difficult hike to Karanga Camp, which features numerous ascents and descents during the route, but don't worry: our guides are experts at choosing an optimal pace for the group. After reaching the camp you will be offered a warm lunch. After a couple of hours, you will have to complete an acclimatization hike in the direction of Barafu Camp with a 200-meter gain in altitude, and then descent back down to the camp. Acclimatization hike: Change in Elevation: Karanga Camp (4,035 m) — Destination point end route to Barafu Camp (4,270 m) Hiking distance: 2.5 km Hiking time: 1–2 hours. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 6
From Karranga camp to Barafu Camp
In the morning after breakfast you begin your way to Barafu Summit Camp (4,640 m), the starting point for a night summiting Uhuru Peak (5,895 m). Our team will set up a camp for you ahead of time, including tents and sleeping bags, so you can relax. After regaining strength, you have to complete an acclimatization hike towards the intermediate Kosovo Summit Camp (4,800 m) and then back to Barafu Camp, where you will be served a hot dinner. It is better to spend the remainder of the day resting and sleeping before night summiting. Acclimatization hike: Change in Elevation: Barafu Camp (4,640 m) — Kosovo Camp (4,800 m) Hiking distance: 2 km Hiking time: 1–2 hours. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mount Kilimanjaro Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 7
Ascend to Uhuru Peak and Descend to millennium camp
Departure from Barafu Camp (4,640 m) at night and the start of summiting Kilimanjaro: Uhuru Peak (5,895 m). Technically the climb is relatively simple; however, the most challenging part is the high altitude. Each pair of climbers will get a personal guide for the entire ascent to monitor your physical and mental conditions. After your successful ascent to Uhuru Peak - the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and the last point of the climb on the Lemosho Route, you can descend to the nearest glacier if desired. Then you will return to Barafu Camp and after a 2-hour rest continue your descent to Millennium Camp (3,820 m). Note: Don't forget that 90% of all accidents occur during the descent, including all broken arms and legs. Please pay attention to your feet, as there is a high risk of damaging your toenails. All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 8
Descend From Millennium to Mweka gate
The camp is situated in a tropical rainforest. When you wake up, you will feel relief from the reduction of the height and the satisfaction of reaching the summit. After a warm breakfast, you will head for the park's exit: Mweka Gate (1,650 m). After your descent the whole group will gather to congratulate you then you will have a chance to take delicious lunch, followed by offering you a chance to share your opinions on the climb in the guestbook. Lastly, we will present you with your commemorative certificates in our office and provide you a transfer back to the Airport.

MKOMAZI RHINO TRIP
It was a nice experience to have a Rhino trip with Kisangara tours.Service was superb as they combined wildlife safari and cultural excursion for Maasai bomas and dancing.

Amazing experience
The safari exceeded my expectations in many aspects. The tour was well organized, communication with the tour operator(via Whatsapp) went smoothly, the hotel pickup was on time and all the activities happened as planned. The drive to the camp was quick and safe and came with a free african massage ;) The camp itself was clean, comfortable and had all necessary amenities, including wifi(although there were occasional power outages). The guide Marcus and the driver were absolute professionals, always friendly and knowledgable, sharing lots of interesting facts about the area and the wildlife and, above all, they did everything they could to get me as close to the animals as possible without disturbing them. The tour was an overall great experience and I enjoyed every minute of it.
