The "Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route" trip starts from and ends in Arusha. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 10 days taking you through Shira, Millenium Camp, Shira Hut and 6 other destinations in Tanzania. "Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, meals and others.

Climb the highest mountain in Africa on the beautiful and challenging Lemosho route. Stand on the highest peak of Africa - approach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, fondly known as Kili, via the challenging and beautiful Lemosho Route. Our trip starts and ends in Arusha, and this itinerary gives maximum possible acclimatisation to enjoy the incredible scenery. We climb the rim of the Shira Plateau with a gentle ascent and panoramic views. We walk on the lava ridges and enjoy extensive views of the plains below. From here, there is some steep climbing but also a chance for a restful afternoon before the final summit day. We aim to be on the top of Africa by sunrise with our reward being the panorama of mountain-top and savannah, perhaps mythically swathed in mist, below us.

The Lemosho trek I did with WE was so well organised. Our guide and his co-leaders were all excellent. The food was plentiful and tasty. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doing a trek with WE.
