Yesterday, Lukas visited a Maasai village, where he spent time with a local guide and learned firsthand about Maasai tradition, culture, and history! 🇹🇿❤️🙏🏼

It’s onward and upward for Rudlolf, Alex, Rebeka, and Martin! We have a few pics from yesterday’s trek from Shira Two to Barranco camp via Lava Tower, along with some snaps from today.
The team has been doing well and feels encouraged! Today, they decided to skip the overnight at Karanga camp and head straight to Barafu camp.
The new trek for today consisted of leaving Barranco camp, heading up the Barranco Wall, resting for lunch at Karanga, and then overnighting at Barafu.
They also elected to do a day summit rather than a morning one. Tomorrow, the team will begin their summit ascent around 4 a.m. rather than starting around midnight.
After 6-7 hours, they’ll reach Stella Point at the crater rim. From there, they will make the final trek to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa at 5,895 m (19,341 ft)!

Lukas is now certified as summiting one of the “Seven Summits” of the world! 🙌🏼 The Seven Summits are the highest peaks on each continent.
Where to next, .baranek ? Everest?! I hear you can make a great bowl of halušky from that height 😉

Peter and Lydia are fully immersed in the vast expanse of the Serengeti!
This iconic landscape is home to over 35 species of plains animals, including approximately 3,000 lions, along with spotted hyenas, leopards, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, cheetahs, and baboons. Crocodiles can be found lurking in the marshes near the Mara River.
The Serengeti is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 350 species recorded, such as ostriches, vultures, and flamingos.
The name ‘Serengeti’ comes from the Maasai word siringit, meaning ‘endless plains’—a fitting name for an ecosystem that spans more than 12,000 square miles (30,000 square kilometers)!

The weather on the Lemosho route has been beautiful for Rudolf, Alex, Rebeka, and Martin! Their guide, Kefas, sent us a few more pictures from the last few days. We are thrilled to report that everyone is well and in great spirits!
Today, the team is making its way to Barranco camp via Lava Tower. It’s a two-part trek designed to help them acclimatize to the altitude. They will start by climbing up to the impressive Lava Tower, which stands at 4,630 meters (15,419 feet). After having lunch at Lava Tower, they will descend to Barranco Camp, situated in a valley below the stunning Barranco Wall.

Welcome to Tanzania, Rudolf, Alex, Rebeka, and Martin! 🇹🇿❤️
Our guests will begin the ever-popular seven-day Lemosho trek starting tomorrow.
The Lemosho route has gained popularity recently due to its excellent acclimatization, high success rate, and stunning landscapes.
After a warm welcome from Kefas, expert guide and owner of GO2KILI, he performed a gear check to ensure all the proper equipment was accounted for during their trek and discussed the route plan.
Once the bus loads up at the hotel in the morning, the team will travel a few hours to the Londorossi/Lemosho gate, where the first step to Uhuru Peak begins!
We are wishing everyone a safe and successful journey! 🙏🏼

A big congratulations to Lukas, who summited Kilimanjaro early this morning! He set a world-record goal of becoming the first person to cook his national dish of halušky at the highest altitude ever recorded!
To paraphrase Lukas, “Dreams need to be fulfilled, even if they are as crazy as cooking halušky on Kilimanjaro.” We couldn’t agree more!
We are proud of Lukas for achieving his dreams and crushing his goals 🙌🏼 .baranek
Thank you to the GO2KILI crew for making the trek a safe and unforgettable experience! 🙏🏼
We’d also like to thank for supporting Lukas’s Kilimanjaro journey.

Lukas is charging ahead and is in great spirits on the trail! Today’s trek was scheduled from Barranco Camp with an overnight at Karanga Camp, but Lukas decided to push through to Barafu Camp; arriving one night early.
This morning he got to scale the challenging but fun, 275m/900ft Barranco wall. No technical climbing skills are required to climb it but you will do a bit of bouldering in certain areas.
After the Barranco wall, Lukas went through a series of hills through the Karanga Valley, breaking at Karanga Camp, before trekking up to Barafu.
The plan is for Lukas to begin his summit ascent early tomorrow morning around midnight and hopefully catch an epic sunrise at Uhuru Peak! ☀️🏔️

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Peter and Lydia, for summiting the tallest free-standing mountain on earth, Kilimanjaro! 🍾🎉
Also a special thanks to the GO2KILI crew for making their trip safe and special! 🙏🏼
They reached Uhuru Peak (5,895 m/19,341 ft) early this morning. It was a picture-perfect journey from start to summit, with one night remaining on the mountain.
It’s about a 4-6 hour trek from the peak to Mweka Camp, going from 5,895 m/19,341ft to 3,067 m/10,065 ft.
Tomorrow, they will leave Mweka Camp to Mweka gate and receive their summit certification 👌🏼 followed by a drive back to Arusha for some well deserved rest.

It’s been all smiles for Peter and Lydia as they make their way to Uhuru Peak! Yesterday’s hike was from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp with an overnight stay. Today, they started early and trekked to Barafu, the final camp before summit night!
They left Karanga and continued up a rocky section to Barafu Camp. At this point, they have completed the Southern Circuit. The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are viewable from Barafu. They were served lunch upon arrival and will rest before an early dinner as they prepare for summit day.

Tomorrow, early in the morning, around midnight, Peter and Lydia will start their ascent towards the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging part of the trek. They will hike in the darkness for several hours, taking frequent but short breaks. After a 7-8 hour trek, they will reach Uhuru Peak and experience a sunrise at the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa! From the summit, they will descend to the Mweka Hut campsite, stopping at Barafu for lunch. Mweka Camp is located in the upper forest, where they will have their last dinner on the mountain.

Yesterday, Lukas arrived at his first camp on the Lemosho route. The sunshine and dry trails made for an excellent hiking day. 🥾
Today, the team sets out for Shira One Camp. The camp is located in a wide-open area with great views of the mountains and the surrounding landscape. Shira One is known for its mostly flat terrain, making it a comfortable spot for acclimatization. The Shira Plateau, one of the mountain’s oldest areas, is known for its unique plant life and the opportunity to see wildlife, including large birds and sometimes even buffalo.
Staying at Shira One Camp allows climbers to see stunning sunsets and sunrises! 🌅

Ensuring a safe and successful Kilimanjaro trek begins with a thorough gear check. Our guides, Frank and Ayub, reviewed the packing list with Peter and Lydia, making sure every item was present and of high quality. If anything was to be missing or unsuitable, our guides would source the necessary gear locally before the trek begins.
Beginning today, a dedicated crew of 14 will support Peter and Lydia on their 8-day Lemosho route. Exciting times await!

A beautiful morning watching the clouds roll by at Barranco Camp! * After breafast, we'll begin by descending into a ravine situated at the base of the Barranco Wall. The wall stands at an elevation of 257 meters (843 feet) and lies on the southern slope of Kibo, a section of Mount Kilimanjaro. * Once on the trail leading to the wall, we'll spend 1-2 hours ascending through the pass. The trail is narrow, allowing only single-file climbing. * After the climb up, we'll navigate a series of hills and valleys until reaching the descent into Karanga Valley. #go2kili #trekking #hiking #kilimanjaro #mountains #summit #backpacking #sunrise #camping #travel
