7 Days Lemosho Route – Kilimanjaro Climb

Tour Overview

The Lemosho Route is widely regarded as the most beautiful and scenic trail to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This 7-day itinerary offers a perfect balance between gradual acclimatization and unforgettable landscapes, from thick rainforest to alpine deserts and glacier fields. The route approaches from the west and crosses the spectacular Shira Plateau, eventually joining the Machame Route before summit night. Ideal for trekkers seeking a quieter, less-crowded path with high summit success rates, the Lemosho Route gives you time to adapt to altitude while soaking in incredible views of Kilimanjaro’s diverse terrain. With experienced guides, quality gear, and personalized service from Pangolin Travelers Expedition, this is more than a trek—it’s an immersive adventure to the Roof of Africa.

Day by Day

Arrival Day – Welcome to Moshi

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our team and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. After check-in, you’ll meet your mountain guide for a detailed trek briefing and gear check, followed by a relaxing evening as you prepare for the climb.

After breakfast, drive to Londorossi Gate on the western slopes of Kilimanjaro. Once permits are issued, you’ll trek through lush montane rainforest, keeping an eye out for monkeys and colorful birds. After about 3–4 hours of gentle ascent, arrive at Mti Mkubwa Camp (“Big Tree Camp”) for dinner and overnight.
Today’s trek begins with a steep climb out of the forest into the moorland zone. You’ll traverse the Shira Plateau, with wide open views of Kibo Peak ahead. After a 6–7 hour hike, you’ll reach Shira 2 Camp, set on a high ridge with panoramic views of Mount Meru and the western slopes of Kilimanjaro.
Climb high and sleep low is the motto today. Ascend steadily to Lava Tower for lunch, reaching your highest altitude yet. Then descend to Barranco Camp through the alpine desert zone. This 7–9 hour trek helps your body adjust while exposing you to the rugged, surreal beauty of the mountain.
Start your morning by scaling the Barranco Wall, a steep but exciting rock scramble that rewards you with epic views. The path then winds through alpine valleys and glacial streams. After 4–5 hours of trekking, arrive at Karanga Camp, where you’ll rest and refuel for the push to base camp.
The trail ascends through a barren alpine desert to reach Barafu Camp, the base camp for your summit attempt. You’ll arrive early to rest and prepare your gear. Eat an early dinner and sleep a few hours—your summit attempt begins at midnight.
Start your final ascent just after midnight under the stars. Reach Stella Point by sunrise, then push to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. After celebrating at the summit, begin your descent to Barafu Camp for a break, then continue down to Mweka Camp for a well-deserved rest. This day includes 12–14 hours of hiking.
After breakfast, descend through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, where you’ll sign out and receive your official summit certificate. Your driver will meet you and transfer you back to Moshi for a hot shower and a celebratory meal.
