A fantastic eightday route, carefully designed to maximise time in remote wilderness
Extra day to aid acclimatisation
To stand on top of the largest freestanding mountain in the world Kilimanjaro
1 guide to every 2 clients on summit day

Start and end in Arusha, the trip Kilimanjaro Climb - Lemosho Route is a guided climbing tour that takes 10 days. You will travel through Shira Hut, Shira Camp One, Londorossi and 5 other destinations in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro Climb - Lemosho Route is a small group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Taking the western approach we cross the caldera of Shira Volcano, traversing beneath the southern icefields of Kibo, Kilimanjaro's highest volcano. We have eight days on Africa’s highest mountain, which means plenty of time for acclimatisation and soaking up the ever changing scenery. This is one of the least trekked routes allowing us to savour the immense and wild Shira Plateau. This itinerary gives you an excellent chance of reaching the summit: approximately 96% of people trekking the Lemosho route with Exodus stand on the roof of Africa.

Lemosho Eight Day Trek

5 - Excellent

“Excellent. If you want to get to the top of Kilimanjaro and stand in awe on 'The Roof of Africa' which is surely why you are considering this trip, the eight day Lemosho Route is the trek for you. It's the right length, with three days or more of going higher but sleeping lower and it will give you the best chance of making a successful summit bid.”

Kilimanjaro - Lemosho route

5 - Excellent

“This is one of those experiences that will stay with you for the rest of your life! To stand on top of the worlds highest freestanding mountain and know that you did it on your own steam is a fantastic feeling.”

Mount Kilimanjaro

5 - Excellent

“Superbly organised and our guides / porters were the best!”

The Best Kili Experience

5 - Excellent

“I couldn't have asked for a better Kilimanjaro experience than what I had with Exodus. The guides and rest of staff were incredibly knowledgable and attentive, the Lemosho route was beautiful and varied in its scenery and summit night - though mentally and physically taxing - was an incredibly fulfilling experience.”
