Highlights
Lemosho Route is one most favoured route to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro because of its all-encompassing perspectives of the mountain from different side and high summit achievement rate.
Trails on the route are loaded up with the fluctuated beautiful scenery of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The route is less swarmed when contrasted with different routes making it perfect from first-time trekkers. The route because of its more extended timetable gives better acclimatization to the climbers, which augments the opportunity of an effective summit.
Itinerary
Londorossi Gate (2,100m/6,890ft) to Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,750m/9,023ft)
Mount Kilimanjaro
--Distance covered: 7km / 4.3mi --Approx. time taken: 4 hours --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included This day we begin our first day of 8 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro climb. The Lemosho route is ideal for climbers seeking a more private hiking experience. Although the trail joins with the more popular Machame route on day three, the first two days on the mountain are relatively quiet with few other trekking groups on the trail. On the first day, arrive at Londorossi Gate at about 11am. Spend about an hour at the gate while Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris registers your climb and the porters and guides make final preparations. Please note that the arrival time at the gate may vary depending on road conditions. After registering at the gate, drive to the trailhead. Leave the gate at around 12pm for Mti Mkubwa Camp. Pass through the rain forests of Kilimanjaro viewing trees and birds along the way. Eat a picnic on the trail before continuing to Mti Mkubwa Camp. Arrive at the campsite in the late afternoon and relax for the rest of the day.- AccommodationsOvernight at Mti mkubwa campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,750m/9,023ft) to Shira 1 Camp (3,720m/12,200ft)
Mount Kilimanjaro
--Distance covered: 8.5km / 5.3mi --Approx. time taken: 7 hours --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included Leave the forest on day two for Kilimanjaro’s moorland. When the trail flattens out, you will have your first views of Kibo peak. After lunch, you will climb the Shira Plateau, created when Kibo’s lava flows filled up the Shira crater. Stop at Shira 1 Camp, where you will relax for the rest of the day. Faster hikers may continue to Shira 2 Camp (3,830m/12,560ft).- AccommodationsOvernight at Shira 1 campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Shira I Camp (3,720m/12,200ft) to Barranco Camp (3,950m/12,960ft)
Mount Kilimanjaro
--Total Elevation Gain: 810 meters, 2,660 feet --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included This is a very long day of hiking and it is imperative that you leave the camp by 7am. Hikers may also choose to camp at Shira II and skip Karanga Valley on day four. This will shorten day three significantly. Although this up-and-down day ends with an elevation gain of only 120 meters, by early afternoon you will have climbed 810 meters to a height of 4,530 meters before beginning your descent to Barranco Camp. Although the hike is tiring, it is crucial for acclimatization. After breakfast continue east on the Shira Plateau, reaching the junction for the Machame, Lemosho and Shira trails. Join the more crowded Machame route before stopping for lunch. Shortly after lunch you will reach the highest point of the day before descending quickly to Barranco Camp. Faster hikers can take a detour via Lava Tower, a 300-foot lava formation jutting out of the mountainside.- AccommodationsOvernight at Barranco campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Barranco Camp (3,950m/12,960ft) to Karanga Valley (4,200m/13,780ft)
Mount Kilimanjaro
--Elevation Gain: 250 meters, 820 feet --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included Leave Barranco Camp after breakfast for Karanga Valley. The day begins with an hour and a half scramble up the Barranco Wall. This is the hardest part of the day and in some places you may have to use your hands to pull your body up. After reaching the top, make a short descent into the greener Karanga Valley. We generally camp on the ridge above the valley to allow for greater acclimatization.- AccommodationsOvernight at Karanga valley campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner

Mount Kilimanjaro
--Elevation Gain: 400 meters, 1,320 feet --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included After breakfast, begin the hike to Barafu Camp. On the way to Barafu, view several of Kibo’s glaciers as well as the junction that connects the descent route, Mweka, with the Machame trail. During day four, hike by the Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers. Although the trail to Barafu passes through alpine desert with little vegetation, there are stunning views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks along the way. Try to sleep as soon as you finish dinner as you will awake before midnight for your summit hike.- AccommodationsOvernight at Barafu campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Barafu Camp (4,600m/15,100ft) to Crater Camp (5,715m/18,750ft)
Mount Kilimanjaro
--Elevation Gain: 1,115 meters, 3,650 feet --Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included Due to the steep ascent at high altitude, this is the most challenging day of the ascent. Leave Barafu Camp early in the morning to begin your hike to the top of Kibo Crater. It is important to remember to snack during the ascent to keep your energy up. You will likely lose your appetite during this day and begin to feel new effects of altitude sickness. After ascending Kibo’s wall, hike to Crater Camp, the highest camp on Kilimanjaro. The camp is located inside Kilimanjaro’s Kibo crater, and offers stunning views of the surrounding glaciers.- AccommodationsOvernight at Crater campFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
