CLIMB KILIMANJARO - WESTERN BREACH ITINERARY:
Day 1 - Meet in Arusha, Tanzania, and transfer to a deluxe
private camp in Arusha National Park.
Day 2 - Hike in the cedar and podocarpus forests on the
lower slopes of Mount Meru.
Day 3 - Drive to the trailhead and begin your climb
through Kilimanjaro's lush rainforest lowlands. Our route on the
mountain for the duration of the climb is a scenic loop that
encompasses five ecological zones.
Days 4-7 - Climb above the Shira Plateau, through the
rarely visited Barranco Valley, with its rare and unusual plants
and beautiful waterfalls, and along the glaciated slopes of
Kilimanjaro's south face to a camp at 15,300'. We include a
layover day at a high camp near the Arrow Glacier for
acclimatization, giving you the best chance of making it to the
summit.
Day 8 - Ascend the Great Western Breach, a 2,500-foot
ascent into Kilimanjaro's inner crater. Camp at 18,300' amidst a
radical scene of towering glaciers rising from the harsh rock
landscape.
Day 9 - Rise with the sun for a hike (1,000' elevation
gain) to the summit and surreal views of the African plains
nearly three miles below you. Descend to a camp at 10,200'.
Day 10 - End trek and drive to Arusha.
Days 11-15 - Enjoy the pleasures of safari life as you
view the plentiful wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti
National Park, among the "must-see" spots of Africa.
Day 16 - Fly to Arusha and depart.
Exclusive MTS
Non-Climb Option
Not up for the climb? While your spouse, partner, or friend goes
for the summit, you can enjoy a three-day walking safari, relax
at renowned Gibb’s Farm (excellent birding in a fantastic
setting), and visit local schools in Arusha. On Day 9 (see
itinerary above) you’ll hike to Mweka Camp to meet the group on
their way down from the mountain. Call for availability and
prices.
