This 6–day lemosho route Kilimanjaro Hiking is one of the best tour packages for hiking and successful summit at 5895m, it is dedicated to trekkers who are short on time but with some experience in high – attitude due to insufficient acclimatization for high chance of reaching the peak (Uhuru) 19,340ft above the sea level. The departure normally done in Moshi town, starting with a drive for approx. 3hrs to Lemosho gate, hiking acrossing Lava Tower – Barancco to Barafu the base camp before the summit at Uhuru Peak and then descending via Mweka route - gate back to Moshi.
This 6-day lemosho route starts on the western side of the mountain at the Lemosho Gate and has a low level of acclimatization because it skips the acclimatization day at Karanga Camp, therefore it make a long day hiking from Baranco to Barafu the base camp before the summit, this lead to reduce a chance to summit so trekkers will have less time to acclimatize before attempting the summit. This route is ideal balance of low crowds,beautiful scenery and the route traverse’s underneath Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu Camp then descent via the Mweka route - gate back to Moshi.
