• The summit climb

  Sportif

  Africa’s highest point at 5,895m, reachable on foot without ropes.

  Summit night starts around midnight so you reach the crater rim at sunrise. Route length matters far more than fitness: eight days succeeds around 85% of the time, five days under half.

• Shira Plateau

  Paysage

  A high moorland on the western approach, above the forest and below the scree.

  The Lemosho and Shira routes cross it, which is part of why they acclimatise better — you spend a day near 3,800m instead of climbing straight through.

• Materuni Falls and coffee walk

  Eau

  A waterfall on the lower slopes, usually combined with a Chagga coffee farm.

  The standard rest-day trip from Moshi, and the best thing to do on the day before a climb when you should not be exerting yourself at altitude.
