Lemosho Route is the most rewarding route and hence is the most expensive one. That’s why there is lots of variation such as 6 days, 7days or 8. Let’s talk what happens in 7 days plan. The day 2 is divided in two, thus allowing better acclimatization and gradual ascent. That is day 2 we settle sown in Shira Camp 1 and This provides a chance to take a breather and enjoy a little.
Still other parts of the climb are similar to the 6 days plan. So, if you are not upto the challenge, better think again. 7 days or 6 days, the climb is as hard as the rewards. That’s why Lemosho is the undisputedly the most sensational route of Kilimanjaro. The cost is so worth it. You better believe it…
After eating breakfast at your hotel, your guide will brief you on the day. You will drive two hours from Arusha (1400m) to Londorossi Park Gate (2100m). And your climbing adventure begins. Get your lunch packed and with bottles of water in your belt start on your bumpy trail with guides and porters to help. Set out on a 3 hr hike through the rain forest spread wide. Be on the lookout for Colobus monkeys!
Hiking time: 3 hours
Habitat: Montane forest
Along the way, you will stop for an afternoon lunch break and arrive at Mti Mkubwa (“Big Tree”) Campsite (2750m) in the early evening. With the help of porters, set up your tent and settle for the night. However, be prepared for the temperature drop that it is known for.
After an early morning breakfast, you will begin your ascent out of the rainforest and into the heather moorland zone. You will cross many streams and walk over a plateau that leads to Shira 2 Camp (3840m). Hoard your senses for the night, and settle down for the day. Be prepared for another attack of surroundings that drop below freezing at this exposed camp.
Following an early morning breakfast, you will leave the moorland environment and enter the semi desert and rocky landscape. After 5 hours of walking east, you will be come face to face with the Lava Tower (4630m). Weather permitting, you can climb the tower, or can rest and have lunch. After lunch, you will descend from Lava Tower (4630m) to the Barranco Campsite (3950m). The 6800m descent gives hikers a huge advantage to allow their bodies to adjust to the conditions of high altitude. The descent to camp takes around 2 hours to reach. It is located in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Wall (“Breakfast Wall”). Drinking and washing water and dinner will be served as hikers view the sun setting.
This is a short hiking day meant for acclimatization. After an early morning breakfast, Great Barranco Wall is ready to be subjugated. This part of the hike is little easier to breathe and the view of Heim Glacier at top of the wall takes you to fantasy land and tends to overwhelm your senses. The trail then winds up and down in the Karanga Valley. You will spend the night at Karanga Camp (3950m) and enjoy dinner and washing at the site.
After breakfast, you will begin your ascent. The trail intersects with the Mweka Route, which is the trail used to descend on the final two days. As you continue hiking for an hour, you will reach Barafu Hut. This is the last water stop for the porters because there is no accessible water at Barafu Camp (4550m). The word “barafu” in Swahili means “ice” and this camp is located on a rocky, exposed ridge. Tents will be exposed to wind and rocks so it is important for hikers to familiarize themselves with the campsite before dark. Get an early dinner and settle for the night. The next day adventure reaches its climax and the moment we want to capture for life is just a night away
Hiking time: 8 hours to reach Uhuru Peak, 7-8 hours to descend to Mweka Distance: Approximately 7 kilometers ascent and 23 kilometers descent Habitat: Stone scree and ice-capped summit Your guide will wake you around 23:30 for tea and biscuits. You will then begin your summit attempt. The route heads northwest and you will ascend over stone scree. After getting to Stella point, you can breathe in the most incredible sunrise. If you continue along the way, you will reach snow-covered trail to Uhuru Peak (5895m). Reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro is a lifetime accomplishment! so drink in your adventure and let out a whoop of joy. Then descent to Barafu begins. The hike down to Barafu Camp takes about 3 hours. At camp, you will rest and enjoy a hot lunch in the sun. After eating, you will continue descending down to Mweka Hut (3100m). The Mweka Trail will lead you through the scree and rocks to the moorland and eventually into the rain forest. Mweka Camp (3100m) is located in the upper rain forest, so fog and rain should be expected. You will have a dinner, wash, and rest soundly at camp.
Following a well-deserved breakfast, your staff will have a big celebration full of dancing and singing. It is here on the mountain that you will present your tips to the guide, assistant guides, chef(s), and porters. After celebrating, you will descend for three hours back to Mweka Gate. The National Park requires all hikers to sign their names to receive certificates of completion. Hikers who reached Stella Point (5685m) receive green certificates and hikers who reached Uhuru Peak (5895m) receive gold certificates. After receiving certificates, hikers will descend into the Mweka village for 1 hour (3 kilometers). You will be served a hot lunch then you will drive back to Moshi/Arusha for long overdue showers and more celebrations.
