Day 1
Day 2
Drive to the Machame Gate (1,800m/5,900ft) and start your trek. Hike through the rainforest to Machame Camp (3,000m/9,800ft) for 5-7 hours. The trail is steep and muddy, so be prepared for challenging conditions.
Day 3
Hike from Machame Camp to Shira Camp (3,800m/12,500ft) for 4-5 hours. The trail is more gradual today, but you will still be gaining altitude. Enjoy the views of the Shira Plateau, a vast volcanic plain.
Day 4
Hike from Shira Camp to Barranco Camp (3,900m/12,800ft) for 6-8 hours. This is a long and challenging day, with a steep ascent to the Lava Tower (4,600m/15,100ft) before descending to Barranco Camp.
Day 5
Hike from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp (4,000m/13,100ft) for 4-5 hours. The trail is relatively flat today, and you will have time to acclimatize to the altitude. Enjoy the views of the Barranco Wall, a massive cliff face.
Day 6
Hike from Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp (4,600m/15,100ft) for 4-5 hours. This is another challenging day, with a steep ascent to the base camp for the summit push. Rest and prepare for your early morning start tomorrow.
Day 7
Summit day! Start hiking from Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak (5,895m/19,341ft) in the early morning hours. The hike is very challenging, with steep scree slopes and cold temperatures. Reach the summit for sunrise and enjoy the incredible views. Descend to Mweka Camp (3,300m/10,800ft) for the night.

I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
