Background

• Cross the Shira plateau
• 8 days on the mountain
• Maximise your acclimatisation

Make no mistake; this is a once in a lifetime experience to savour and enjoy, and remember for years afterwards.
All our Kilimanjaro routes have been carefully chosen both to improve your enjoyment through acclimatisation and also for your safety. We at Adventure Peaks do not believe it is wise to spend any less than 7 days on the mountain for the simple fact that we want our clients to feel good both mentally and physically and to reach their goal – the ‘roof of Africa’. Each route we offer has its own quirks and we encourage you to check our website or contact our experienced staff to help you decide which trip is perfect for you. Yes, every extra day on the mountain costs, but it helps retain our success levels of more than 99% for clients to the true summit of Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak – and it will cost a lot more to come back for a second attempt!
All flights are to Kilimanjaro airport avoiding the overland journey to and from Nairobi.
And finally we include ALL PARK FEES in our prices.

This is our longest route on the mountain, designed for those of you who have the time and really want to maximise your chances of summiting. It approaches the mountain from low down in the pristine rainforest on the western side, emerging and crossing the World Heritage site of the Shira plateau. Skirting the southern face of Kibo, the views of the summit icefields and back to Mawenzi are stunning, and a climb to the Lava Tower (4600m) on the 4th day makes for excellent and valuable acclimatisation. The infamous Barranco wall provides excitement on the 5th day, with the ascent to Stella point on the 7th day providing an easier approach to Uhuru Peak than via Gillmans. Descent is via the Mweka route.

This route is a must and makes a great trek in its own right and may appeal to those not too worried about achieving the dizzy heights of 5895m and happy to stay at camp for a lie-in on summit day!

Prices are exclusive of international flights to Kilimanjaro.
