Climb Kilimanjaro, Lemosho

One of the most beautiful climbing routes on Kilimanjaro, besides the duration of the ascent providing the maximum possible acclimatization. Trekking passes through the rainforest, the picturesque Shire Valley, lava fields, glaciers and leads to the “Roof of Africa” – Uhuru Peak.

Day 1. Pick up at the airport in Arusha, Tanzania and transfer to the hotel in Moshi. If you arrive at the airport of Nairobi in Kenya, then you need an independent bus transfer (local transport) to the city of Arusha or directly to the city of Moshi to the hotel (if necessary, we will help you book an individual transfer from Nairobi to Moshi). The total travel time from Nairobi is about 5 hours. The group arriving at the place is met by our representative. Accommodation at the SPA hotel in Moshi, dinner. The group is being instructed on the upcoming ascent, preparing the necessary equipment. Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2. Transfer to the west gate of Kilimanjaro Park. Participants go through all the necessary paperwork, distribute the necessary equipment and personal cargo (should not be heavier than 20 kg) to the porters, drop off in jeeps by the beginning of trekking. The walking distance is 6 km, the travel time is 3-4 hours. Overnight in tents.
Day 3. The way to the Shira camp 1 (3500 m), there is a short rest and a delicious lunch, then we continue to the Shira camp 2 (3810 m) through the heather meadows.
The walking distance is 12 km, the travel time is 6-7 hours. Overnight in tents.
Day 4. Long walk to the Lava Tower camp, the locals call this place “Shark’s Tooth” at an altitude of 4360 m, rest and lunch there. Then descend to the Barranco camp overnight (4000 meters). Such an ascent – above the place of overnight stay – is necessary for better acclimatization. The walking distance is 15 km, the travel time is 6-8 hours. Overnight in tents.
Day 5. Today we have an interesting route – we descend into the gorge and climb the picturesque Barranco wall to the Karanga camp (3995 m). The walking distance is 5 km, the travel time is 4-5 hours. Overnight in tents.

* If all participants feel great, then today you can complete the program for the sixth day, and then you will have a full rest the day before the ascent.

Day 6. Today we will move to the Barafu camp (4670 m), where participants will be able to relax a little, have lunch, gain strength. Along the way, we enjoy beautiful views of the southern foot of Kilimanjaro, the peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. After lunch— a small acclimatization exit to the new Kosovo camp (4800 m). This short walk will allow you to “catch your breath” before going to bed. Early lights out. The walking distance is 4 km, the travel time is 2-3 hours. Overnight in tents.
Day 7. Climbing Kilimanjaro. The time of the assault varies about 6-7 hours, the distance on foot is 7 km. We are already meeting the dawn, being at the highest point in Africa – Uhuro Peak (or on the way to it, depending on the speed of the group). The altitude above sea level is 5895 m. Those who wish can descend into the crater for 100 meters, walk along the glaciers. Then there is a descent to the Millennium camp (3820 m). The walking distance is 8 km, the travel time is 5-7 hours. Overnight in tents.
Day 8. We descend to the finish line of our ascent path – the Mweka Gate (height 1640 m). At the end of their journey, the group members who have reached the top receive a certificate attesting to the fact of climbing one of the highest points in Africa. There are two types of certificates issued here: gold – for conquerors of Uhuro Peak, and green – for those who were able to reach Gilman Peak. Next, we say goodbye to our team of porters, cooks, assistants, without whom the ascent would not be so comfortable. It’s good form to tip them. We return to our hotel with the long-awaited white sheets and fluffy towels in the city of Moshi. In the evening, a festive dinner. There is an opportunity to enjoy SPA treatments at the hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
