Itinerary
Reaching the summit of Africa’s tallest peak is within your grasp on the Seven Day Lemosho Route. This guided trek to Mount Kilimanjaro’s Uhuru Peak is a favorite among trekkers for its beautiful scenery and one of the highest summit-success rates available, thanks to excellent acclimatization opportunities.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Moshi to Londorosi Gate, then winds through diverse landscapes as you approach the summit on Day 6. The Lemosho route stands out for allowing climbers to experience the mountain’s western, northern, and eastern faces—each offering unique perspectives and photo opportunities.
What makes this trek exceptional? Its high summit success rate (over 95%) and the chance to explore three different sides of Kilimanjaro. With all accommodation, transport, meals, and expert guides included, this tour package is ideal for adventure seekers determined to conquer Africa’s iconic peak.
day 1 - Londorossi Gate (2,100m) to Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,980m)
Your day starts early after breakfast at your hotel. A two-hour drive takes you from your hotel (910m) to Londorossi Park Gate (2,100m).

Start trekking through a rainforest until you reach the final destination of the day.
day 2 - Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,810m) to Shira II Camp (3,900m)

Your campsite is situated in a valley below the wall, which should provide you with memorable sunset views while waiting for dinner.

day 6 - Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) & down to Mweka
Today is the big day. Wake up exactly at around midnight and have some light tea with cookies. You should be on the crater rim at Stella Point (5,756m) as the first rays of the sun hit the mountain.
