Safari summary
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on the beautiful Lemosho Route, one of the mountain’s most scenic and well-balanced trekking routes.
The eight-day itinerary approaches Kilimanjaro from the quieter western side, crossing rainforest, the Shira Plateau, alpine desert and high mountain terrain before reaching Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres.
The longer schedule allows a gradual increase in altitude and includes important acclimatization sections such as Lava Tower, helping climbers adjust before the summit attempt.
Your climb is supported by professional mountain guides, assistant guides, porters and a cook. Park fees, camping fees, rescue fees, mountain tents and full-board meals are included.

Itinerary
Lemosho Gate to Mti Mkubwa
Drive from Moshi toward the western side of Kilimanjaro and complete registration at the park gate. Begin trekking through lush montane rainforest toward Mti Mkubwa Camp. The first day is relatively gentle and gives you time to settle into the trekking rhythm. Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mti Mkubwa Camp
Mti Mkubwa to Shira One
After breakfast, leave the rainforest and gradually enter the heath and moorland zone. As you gain altitude, the landscape opens and you begin to enjoy wider mountain views. Continue toward the western edge of the Shira Plateau. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Shira 1 Camp
Shira One to Shira Two
Today provides a gradual trek across the scenic Shira Plateau. The slower pace and moderate altitude gain make this an important acclimatization day. Weather permitting, enjoy impressive views of Kibo Peak and the surrounding highlands. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Shira 2 Camp
Shira Two to Barranco
Trek toward Lava Tower, reaching approximately 4,600 metres. Spend some time at altitude before descending toward Barranco Camp. This “climb high, sleep low” profile is one of the most important acclimatization sections of the route. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Barranco Camp
Barranco to Karanga
Begin the morning by climbing the famous Barranco Wall. After reaching the top, continue across ridges and valleys toward Karanga Camp. The shorter trekking day provides additional time to rest and adjust to the altitude. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Karanga Camp
Karanga to Barafu
After breakfast, continue toward Barafu Camp. The vegetation becomes increasingly sparse as you enter the high alpine zone. Arrive at Barafu, prepare your summit equipment, enjoy an early meal and rest before the midnight summit attempt. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Barafu Camp
Summit to Mweka
Wake around midnight and begin the final ascent. Climb slowly through the night toward Stella Point on the crater rim before continuing to Uhuru Peak – 5,895 metres, the highest point in Africa. After photographs and celebrations, descend to Barafu for a short rest before continuing down to Mweka Camp. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mweka Camp
Mweka Gate to Moshi
After breakfast, descend through the rainforest toward Mweka Gate. Complete the final park formalities and receive your summit certificate if applicable. Your driver will meet you at the gate and transfer you back to Moshi. Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
