Climbing Kilimanjaro via the 7-day Lemosho Route offers stunning views and a quieter, well-tested path to the top. This route is perfect for trekkers who are up for a challenge. You’ll start at Lemosho Gate, trekking through lush rainforests and winding your way along the mountain’s side, not straight up, allowing you to enjoy amazing views around every corner. What makes the Lemosho Route special are the incredible sights and fewer crowds. You’ll have the chance to see Kilimanjaro from different angles, all while enjoying a more peaceful climb. The gradual ascent gives your body time to adjust to the altitude, increasing your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro.
From USD 1,850 per person
Begin your 7-Day Lemosho Route adventure with a smooth arrival. Our Kilimanjaro specialists meet you at the airport, transferring you to your hotel in Moshi. After a delicious group dinner, prepare for the climb with a comprehensive trek briefing and gear check. Missing something? No worries – Nafika Tours offers convenient equipment rentals for a stress-free ascent. Let’s conquer Kilimanjaro!
Eat a big breakfast and get ready for your Kilimanjaro adventure! Leave Moshi town by 8am and head to Lemosho Gate on the west side of the mountain. Don’t worry about a thing – Nafika will take care of everything before the hike starts. Then, you’re off! Trek through the lush green forests of Lemosho Glade and reach Big Tree Camp, where you’ll spend your first night under the watchful eye of Kilimanjaro.
Today the Lemosho Route offers amazing views! Hike across a big, open space with grass and volcanic rocks. You’ll slowly climb higher towards Shira Camp 1, where you might see the peak of Kilimanjaro through the clouds! After a break, you’ll keep going to Shira Camp 2. Here, you’ll get incredible views of giant glaciers on the north side of the mountain. Enjoy the scenery and get your body ready to climb even higher!
Day 3 on the 7 Days Lemosho is like a beautiful painting! Hike higher and higher, entering a dry, rocky area. Walk across ridges made of old lava, with giant glaciers above you. Climb to the top of Lava Tower, the highest point so far, for lunch with a fantastic view! In the afternoon, walk down to a comfy camp under the tall Barranco Wall. Get ready to be amazed by the incredible sights – pictures can’t capture how beautiful it is!
Today is yet another big challenge! Hike up a steep hill to climb the Barranco Wall. It looks scary, but it’s actually not so bad! Walk under giant glaciers and enjoy the amazing downhill trek to Karanga Valley. Look up to see even more glaciers on Kibo Peak. Relax and eat dinner at camp, where you’ll see incredible views of another mountain called Mawenzi. In the afternoon, take it easy to get used to the high altitude. You can even go for a short hike if you want, but mostly rest up for the big climb on the next day!
Getting close to the summit! Hike to Barafu Camp, which is really high up (4673 meters!). From here, you’ll see amazing views of the peak of Kilimanjaro (Kibo) and another mountain called Mawenzi. After lunch, relax a lot in your tent – this is important for climbing to the very top later. Eat dinner early and get a good night’s sleep because you’ll need to wake up very early tomorrow for the climb!
This is the big day! You wake up very early, around midnight, and have a light breakfast. After fueling up, you’ll start the tough climb to the summit. It takes 4-5 hours and you’ll go up really high in a short time!
Just before sunrise, you’ll reach Stella Point (5756m), which is an amazing viewpoint at the edge of a giant crater. From here, you do one last climb to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa (5,895 meters!). Congratulations, you climbed Kilimanjaro! Take pictures and enjoy this incredible accomplishment.
After celebrating at the top, you’ll head back down to Barafu Camp for lunch and a well-deserved rest. Then, you’ll trek down to Millenium Camp for dinner, where you can relax and reflect on your amazing journey. You did it – you conquered Kilimanjaro!
Day 7 – conquer the descent! After breakfast, enjoy a celebratory farewell to Millennium Camp (3950m) with a scenic few-hour hike to Mweka Gate. Collect your well-earned summit certificates and raise a toast to your accomplishment with a refreshing drink! Bid farewell to your amazing guides and board a private car which will take you back to your Moshi hotel. A hot shower and a comfy bed await! Celebrate your incredible Kilimanjaro achievement via 7 days Lemosho route – you did it!
