Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing via Lemosho Route 10 Days
The Lemosho route is one of the newer routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. The route begins in the west and rather than simply intersecting Shira Plateau (like Machame), Lemosho crosses it from Shira RidgetoShira Camp. Climbers encounter low traffic until the route joins the Machame route.
Afterwards, Lemosho follows the same route through Lava Tower, Barranco, and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. Lemosho route allowing you to camp and fully appreciate the splendor of your surroundings and the clear night skies. The terrain changes as you ascend the mountain, passing through a thick forest, moorland, and scree en route to the highest point of the crater, Uhuru Peak. This is a challenging trek at altitude, climbing one of the most impressive and well-known mountains in the world.The minimum number of days required for this route is seven days, although eight days is ideal.Lemosho is considered the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro and grants panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. It is our favorite route because it offers a great balance of low traffic, scenic views and a high summit success rate. Thus, Lemosho comes highly recommended.

Typical Day
DAY 1: Arrive in Tanzania
Arrive anytime at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), there will be a pick up private transfer waiting to KILIMANJARO WONDER hotel in Moshi. All airport transfers are the part of the package, no extra fee is required.

DAY 2: Lemosho Gate - BigTree Camp
The day begins with a long drive to Londrossi Park Gate (2100 m) for registration. Pass through village communities to the trailhead to start hiking on the route along a narrow forest path to reach Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) campsite (2800 m).
Trekking Time: 2-3 hours ⎟Distance: 5 kmï€ âŽŸAltitude Gain: 411 m.
DAY 3: Big Tree Camp - Shira Hut 1
Leaving the forest, the trail gets steeper as it enters the moorland zone towards the valley.
A gentle grade walk takes you across the high altitude Shira Caldera past Shira Cave (views of Arrow glacier) at 3500 m and then gently downwards to Shira Hut 1 located near a stream on the Shira Plateau.
Trekking Time: 3 hours ⎟Distance: 8 kmï€ âŽŸAltitude Gain: 719 m.
DAY 4: Shira Hut 1 - Shira Hut 2
A gentle hike across the plateau within the moorland meadow takes you to Shira Hut 2 for the afternoon and overnight.
Many hikes are available on the Plateau, making this a great day for acclimatization.
Trekking Time: 3 hours ⎟Distance: 7 kmï€ âŽŸAltitude Gain: 321 mï€
DAY 5: Shira Hut 2 - Barranco Camp
Walking now on high moorland, the landscape changes the entire character of the trek. Traverse the southwest side of Kilimanjaro, passing underneath the Lava Tower and the final section of the Western Breach to reach Barranco camp (3900 m). The day has been spent at altitude (up to 4600 m), but you will have followed the mountaineering code of ‘walk high, sleep low' to avoid altitude sickness by aiding your bodies in acclimatization.
Trekking Time: 6-7 hours ⎟Distance: 10 kmï€ âŽŸAltitude Gain: 60 mï€
DAY 6: BarrancoCamp -Karanga Valley
