Itinerary

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. Over the course of a week, traverse diverse landscapes—from lush rainforests at Big Tree Camp to the expansive Shira Plateau, and onward through dramatic alpine zones.

The Lemosho route distinguishes itself as a less-traveled path, offering climbers both tranquility and stunning vistas. Unlike the busier Machame trail, Lemosho’s western approach allows for a more gradual acclimatization and a rewarding, panoramic journey across the plateau. This route is favored for its high summit success rate and the breathtaking, ever-changing scenery you’ll encounter each day.

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. The unique selling point of this trip lies in the combination of remote natural beauty, a less-crowded path, and a proven record of helping climbers achieve their Kilimanjaro dreams. Whether you’re an ambitious young traveler or an experienced trekker seeking a new challenge, the Lemosho route promises both achievement and awe at the roof of Africa.
