- Day 1 Moshi Arrive at any time.
- Day 2 Moshi - Mti Mkubwa Camp Begin the Lemosho trail of Mt Kilimanjaro ending for the day at the Mti Mkubwa Campsite.
- Day 3 Mti Mkubwa Camp - Shira 1 Camp Climb into the moorland over the Shira ridge and down to the plateau and the Shira 1 Camp.
- Day 4 Shira 1 Camp - Shira 2 Camp Travel across the Shira plateau, with time for short acclimatization walks. Because the hiking time is only about 3 hours today, use the free time to take a number of short acclimatization walks around and above the Shira 2 Camp. This camp is more exposed than the previous night's camp. It may be windier and colder, with temperatures dropping to below freezing.
- Day 5 Shira 2 Camp - Barranco Camp Climb through rocky scree to the Lava Tower. Descend into the Great Barranco Valley to acclimatize and camp.
- Day 6 Barranco Camp - Karanga Camp Tackle the Great Barranco Wall up into the alpine desert of the Karanga Valley.
- Day 7 Karanga Camp - Barafu Camp Trek through the alpine desert up to Barafu Camp. Prepare for the midnight start of the summit attempt. In preparation for the final ascent the same night, you will familiarize yourself with the terrain before dark, and prepare your equipment and thermal clothing for the summit attempt. Sleep may be difficult, but lie down after dinner to try and rest for the 1295m final ascent.
- Day 8 Barafu Camp - Mweka Camp At midnight, begin the summit trek. Conquer the rim of the main crater, then cross the scree and snow to Uhuru Peak. Descend to Mweka Camp. This stretch is the longest, and the most mentally and physically challenging of the trek. But the feeling of conquering Kilimanjaro will stay with you forever.
