Moir Hut Camp

Moir Camp is a remote and scenic campsite located on the northern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro at approximately 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) above sea level. The camp is mainly used by trekkers on the Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes after leaving the Shira Plateau area.

The camp sits in a quiet valley beneath the Lent Hills, surrounded by rugged volcanic landscapes and sparse alpine vegetation. Moir Camp is well known for its peaceful atmosphere and dramatic scenery, making it one of the most memorable camps on Kilimanjaro for many climbers. The nearby Lent Hills also provide optional acclimatization hikes that help trekkers adjust to the altitude.

The environment around Moir Camp is colder and drier than the lower camps, with clear skies often revealing spectacular views of Kibo Peak and the northern mountain slopes. Because fewer climbers pass through this area, the camp offers a more isolated and tranquil trekking experience.

Accommodation at Moir Camp consists of mountain tents arranged on rocky terrain. Temperatures can drop significantly during the night, but the calm surroundings and impressive scenery make the camp a favorite stop for photographers and nature lovers.
