Your adventure begins with a drive from Moshi to the Lemoshoi Gate, where you will register with the Kilimanjaro National Park. After a safety briefing and equipment check, you will start your trek through the dense rainforest, home to colobus monkeys, elephants, and various bird species. The hike takes around 3-4 hours, leading to Big Tree Camp (Mti Mkubwa Camp) for an overnight stay.
