7 Days Lemosho Route

Welcome to Tanzania! Golden Trips Tanzania is thrilled to have you here and we are excited to be a part of your African adventure. Our team of experienced professionals work tirelessly to ensure that our guests have a memorable holiday, full of thrilling experiences and natural wonders.

 

As you arrive at the airport today, one of our friendly and knowledgeable driver guides will be ready and waiting to escort you to your hotel in Arusha. Along the way, they will share insights about Tanzania’s culture, history, and traditions. Our drivers are not just drivers, but also knowledgeable locals who are passionate about sharing their heritage with visitors.

 

Upon your arrival at your hotel, you will be greeted by one of our travel consultants who will brief you on the exciting safari that lies ahead. They will provide you with all the necessary information you need to make the most out of your trip, including valuable tips on what to pack, what to expect on safari, and more. Our team is committed to making your experience seamless and unforgettable.

Meet with your climbing team at the hotel and drive to Lemosho Gate. The Lemosho gate is located at the western base of the mountain. On arrival at the park gate, your guide will help with all necessary registration formalities while the porters sort out the luggage. We will get our lunch at the gate before starting our Kilimanjaro expedition. We hike through the lush rainforest, where we can see exotic moss, different flowers, and black and white colobus monkeys. When we arrive at the camp, we will provide you with hot water for washing. Today enjoy your first dinner on the mountain. 

Our long day of hiking starts after our first breakfast on the mountain. Ascend through the lush rolling hills and crosses several streams and Shira Ridge before dropping gently down to the Shira 1 camp for a hot lunch. After the delicious lunch, our journey proceeds hiking for 4 hours more to Shira 2 campsite for relaxation and dinner.
We check out Shira to Baranco Camp through the Lava Tower after breakfast. We will arrive at the junction connecting the climbers from the other side of the Machame route. We head to Lava Tower 4600 amsl, the highest point for today. After a hot lunch at the lava tower, descend to Barranco camp for dinner and overnight.
Today we climb the Barranco wall. We begin our climb by crossing the river. The trail is very narrow and steep, expect traffic. Cross a famous part of the Barranco Wall, where you hug and kiss Rock to step on the other side. The walking poles are not necessary in this section. Your professional guides are always there to assist you.
The next camp is not far, and the trail is less steep today. We will arrive at Barafu camp earlier for a hot lunch so that you spend the rest hours of the day relaxing. Unlike other days, expect an earlier dinner. Get yourself enough resting time to energize for a summit night.
Today is a great day! a day that you have been waiting for so long. You will wake up around 11 pm to prepare for the summit. After a light breakfast, we start our summit adventure around midnight. Your head guide will lead the way. He will set a good pace that will make you comfortable. Make sure you listen and follow the advice of your professional guides to reach Uhuru Peak safely and comfortably.
After our last breakfast on the mountain, we leave Mweka Camp, descending about 3 hours to Mweka Gate. On arrival at the gate, we check out, collect certificates and drive back to your hotel in Arusha for a shower and celebrations.
