Lemosho Route Group Join Tour

Safari summary

This 9-day Lemosho Route group joining tour with an Overnight at Crater is truly one-of-a-kind. Nestled at a remarkable 18,865 feet above sea level, Crater Camp stands as the highest campsite on Mount Kilimanjaro, a mere 475 feet below the summit. This unique experience is available exclusively on the Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes, adding an extra day to the standard itineraries, and creating the exceptional 9 Lemosho Crater Route.

Our 9-day journey to the summit takes place in daylight hours, followed by a stay at Crater Camp for enhanced acclimatization. Unlike other Kilimanjaro routes where only guides and clients summit, our entire mountain crew ascends, along with all expedition equipment, making the Crater Camp route more challenging and incurring additional costs.

From Crater Camp, an optional one-hour hike to Reusch Crater or exploration around Furtwangler Glacier awaits. Reusch Crater is a breathtaking, almost perfectly circular sight, with a 400-foot (120 m) deep and 1,300-foot (400 m) wide ash pit rarely witnessed by tourists. While the allure of Crater Camp is undeniable, it's important to note the potential dangers of sleeping at such high altitudes. Serious Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can develop without proper altitude acclimatization. The beauty and uniqueness of Crater Camp come with a responsibility to prioritize safety in this extraordinary setting.
