Driver meets you at the airport. Forty-five minutes east to our boutique hotel in Moshi. A briefing, a gear-check, and an early dinner. Nothing else.
Four days up a 14,968 ft volcano with giraffes at the trailhead. Often paired with Kilimanjaro as acclimatization.
Tanzania's second mountain, 14,968 ft of dramatic ridgeline, often run as an acclimatization climb three days before Kilimanjaro.

Rangers, registration, then a short drive to the Lemosho trailhead. Three hours through cloud forest with colobus monkeys overhead, easy first day, designed to keep you fresh.
Out of the forest into giant heather. Long ridge climb to the western edge of the Shira Plateau. First clear view of Kibo if the cloud lifts.
A wide, slow walk across the plateau. Climb-high-sleep-low protocol, we ridge up to 12,795 ft before dropping into Shira 2. Acclimatization day in disguise.
Photography placeholders — final route images will replace these before launch.
“Eight days felt like exactly the right amount. We summited slowly, and every single person in our group of nine made it to Uhuru. The guides paced us perfectly.”
“The Shira plateau day was unreal, wide-open volcanic plain at 3,800 m and we had it almost to ourselves. Worth the extra two days over a shorter route.”
“I picked the 9-day because of work. Tight but doable, the Lava Tower climb-high-sleep-low day genuinely saved my summit attempt. 100% recommend Peak Planet.”
For 4 Day Mount Meru, the answer is yes — with eyes open about moderate terrain and 4 days on the mountain.
“If you are asking where to start, this is the route we recommend most often. The acclimatization profile earns its days.”
