Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Set your sights on Africa’s highest peak with a seven-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb along the scenic Lemosho route—an adventure designed for young adults and seasoned explorers alike. This private, guided trip begins in Arusha, whisking you to the remote Londorossi Gate, where your ascent truly begins.

Your trek includes key milestones: camping at Shira Camp 2, navigating the challenging Barranco and Barafu camps, and ultimately reaching Kilimanjaro’s famed summit. The descent via the Mweka route completes your circuit, ensuring that you experience the mountain’s varied faces. Throughout, you’ll be supported by experienced guides who prioritize your safety and enrich your climb with insights into the mountain’s ecology and culture. For those craving an unforgettable trekking adventure with a strong chance of summit success, this tour package is unmatched.

Kilimanjaro - Lemosho route, 8 days

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

The Lemosho Route is perhaps the most scenic Kilimanjaro route, from the first day to the last. The trail begins north of Shira, also on the western side of the mountain. But unlike the Shira Route, where for the first day you walk on a wide 4 WD road, Lemosho is a narrow wilderness trail right from the beginning, passing through pristine and remote rainforest with good chances of seeing wildlife. It then crosses the Shira Plateau before joining the Machame Route near the Lava Tower. Luckily, despite its growing popularity, especially for second time Kilimanjaro climbers, Lemosho sees a very low number of people and truly offers and incredible adventure on the highest peak in Africa, and the highest free standing mountain in the world. Maasai Wanderings is looking very much forward to providing you with a climb of a lifetime. No previous mountaineering experience is required for this trip.
