Summary
Cross another item off your travel to-do list and do it in style with this 12-day Kilimanjaro combo tour. After you conquer African's highest point with the help of your CEO (Chief Experience Officer) and trusted guides (with tons of incredible views and vistas captured along the way), you'll head to Zanzibar and learn about local flavours at a spice plantation. There's plenty of free time at the paradisiacal beaches of Zanzibar, with options to scuba dive, snorkel, or simply enjoy some hard-earned R&R.
Itinerary
Day 1
Moshi
Arrive at any time.
Day 2
Moshi/Machame camp
Hike the lower slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro to Machame Camp. Most of the day is spent in the gorgeous and fascinating, forested slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, most of which is considered to be rainforest zone.
Depending on the weather, the trail will be soggy and possibly muddy if it rains.
Day 3
Machame camp/Shira 2 Camp
Hike through lower alpine moorland to Shira 2 camp and observe the spectacular views of Kibo Peak.
Day 4
Shira 2 Camp/Barranco Camp
Hike to Barranco Camp via Lava Tower. Enjoy the fantastic view of Western Breach and the Breach Wall.
Day 5
Barranco Camp/Barafu Camp
View the Great Barranco Wall and climb up the eastern wall, passing below the Helm Glacier.
Day 6
Barafu Camp/Mweka Camp
Hike during the night to the Summit via Stella Point. Watch the sunrise before descending to Mweka Camp. The route from Barafu Camp to the summit is mentally and physically, the longest, most challenging day of the entire trek. Despite the difficulty, the memory of conquering Mt Kilimanjaro will stay with you forever.
Day 7
Mweka Camp/Moshi
Continue descent through the forested, lower slopes to Moshi. Meet the mamas of the Moshi Women’s Cooperative, a G supported project, for a climbing ceremony. Arrive to Moshi in the afternoon. Time to relax, take a shower, and celebrate with a drink. Cheers to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro! Before dinner, you will be welcomed and congratulated on your climb by the mamas of the Moshi Women’s Cooperative, a project supported by the tour operator. They will present you with a gift and a certificate to remember all your efforts on the mountain.
Opt to pre-book the Lala Salama Spa & Beauty Aromatherapy Massage, which partners with Moshi Women's Cooperative, by adding it to your checkout page, or ask your GCO or travel agent for assistance.
Day 8
Moshi/Stone Town
Fly to the beautiful island of Zanzibar and transfer to the hotel. Enjoy an orientation walk with your CEO in historic Stone Town, and opt to continue on for a longer walking tour, or explore on your own.

Customer reviews & ratings
The Kilimanjaro climb was exceptional the CEO, guides and all the staff on the mountain were exemplary in every way. Safety was always paramount however were able to operate in a fun and relaxed way also. Each member of the team is a credit to themselves and g adventures and would recommend them highly to anyone looking for the same trip. The Zanzibar section of the tour was also good and compliments the Kilimanjaro section well however I thought could have been better explained prior to booking and a full list of options available for other activities Trip was well organised once in country and everything ran smoothly however I thought provision of information prior to joining could have been better
Shaun Sep, 2025 VerifiedOverall, I had an amazing experience and if given the chance, I would do it all over again. The CEOs, porters were such a big part climbing Kilimanjaro on bucket list. They kept me motivated, hydrated, well fed, and most importantly ensure my safety. I've been to over 66 countries and this will easily be in the top 5 of my favorites. It was truly an unforgettable experience. The easiness of the trip! I've been traveling with G for over a decade. All I have to do I enter a destination and everything that I look for in a trip correlates with everything that I mostly look for in a trip. It doesn't get any easier than that. Everything is explained in detail.
