7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing in April Weather
April is part of Kilimanjaro's long rainy season, so hikers should expect periods of rain, wet ground, mist, and slippery sections, particularly in the rainforest. Moshi and lower elevations are generally mild, around 15°C to 25°C, while temperatures fall sharply higher on the mountain. Summit night can become extremely cold, potentially reaching around -7°C to -29°C. Waterproof layers, warm clothing, and reliable boots are therefore important.
Lower Slopes and Base Conditions in April
Lower slopes and base towns such as Moshi can remain comfortable during the day, with temperatures commonly around 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). However, the rainforest can receive steady rainfall, creating muddy paths and thick mist. As the trail rises toward Shira and the upper mountain, conditions become colder and drier. Pack intelligently and be ready for several different weather conditions during one climb.

Itinerary
Moshi- Lemosho Gate - Big Tree Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 6 km | Hiking time: 3–4 hours | Climatic habitat: Rain Forest After breakfast, leave Moshi for the Lemosho/Londorossi Gate. Complete registration before beginning the hike into the rainforest. The trail is surrounded by tall trees, vegetation, and wildlife sounds as you gradually gain altitude. Walk slowly and maintain a comfortable rhythm from the beginning. The route eventually reaches Big Tree Camp, where the mountain crew prepares camp and your evening meal.
Big Tree Camp
Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 18 km | Hiking time: 8–10 hours | Climatic habitat: Moorland The trail continues upward from the forest toward the moorland and Shira Plateau. On the seven-day route, hikers leave the forest environment and enter more open highland terrain, with spectacular views developing along the way. The altitude gain makes a slow pace particularly important. Take regular water breaks and follow the guide's rhythm.
Shira 2 Camp
Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 10 km | Hiking time: 6–8 hours | Climatic habitat: Semi Desert The trail crosses the Shira area before heading toward the higher volcanic landscape and eventually descending toward Barranco Camp. This section helps your body continue adjusting to altitude through controlled movement and changing elevation. Enjoy the dramatic scenery and take the descent slowly.
Barranco Camp
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 5.2 km | Elevation: 3,986 m/13,077 ft to 4,034 m/13,253 ft | Hiking time: 4–5 hours | Climatic habitat: Alpine Desert Begin with the Barranco Wall, then continue across rocky alpine terrain toward Karanga Camp. The distance is shorter, allowing time for careful hiking, lunch, rest, and preparation for the next ascent. Keep your pace steady and save energy for summit day.
Karanga Camp
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp
Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 4,034 m/13,253 ft to 4,662 m/15,295 ft | Stretch: 3.3 km | Hiking time: 4–5 hours | Climatic habitat: Alpine Desert Walk gradually from Karanga toward Barafu Camp, the final major camp before the summit attempt. The landscape becomes increasingly rocky and exposed. After arrival, eat, rest, organize your summit clothing and equipment, and listen carefully to the guide's briefing before the early start.
Barafu Camp
Barafu to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 5 km ascent / 12 km descent | Hiking time: 7–8 hours ascent / 4–6 hours descent | Climatic habitat: Arctic Start the summit ascent during the early hours, moving slowly toward Stella Point and then Uhuru Peak. The final climb is demanding because of altitude and cold conditions. After reaching the summit, begin the descent toward Mweka Camp. Stay focused, drink regularly, and communicate with your guide throughout the day.
Mweka Camp
Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate to Moshi
Kilimanjaro
Stretch: 10 km | Hiking time: 3–4 hours | Climatic habitat: Rain Forest Descend through the rainforest to Mweka Gate. Complete the required exit procedures before transferring back to Moshi Town. Take time to rest, celebrate your achievement, and prepare for your onward travel plans.
