Meet the mountain at a steady pace, or share the northern safari circuit. Three proposed group journeys begin on 20 December, with arrival the day before and time to finish the experience properly.
Machame targets the summit on 25 December. Lemosho spends Christmas at Barafu and targets the summit on the 26th. The safari plans Christmas Day in the Ngorongoro Crater. Every activity depends on real conditions and the agreed operating plan.
Join a proposed 20 December 2026 Machame departure, with a summit attempt planned for Christmas Day. Arrive in Moshi on 19 December and keep time for the full descent and a hotel night.
A proposed Lemosho departure beginning on 20 December 2026, with Christmas at Barafu and the summit attempt planned for 26 December. Keep all eight mountain days and time to prepare.
A proposed 20–26 December 2026 northern circuit, with Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Christmas Day in the Ngorongoro Crater. Share the journey in a small group, with arrival and departure time included.
