You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your hotel in Moshi. After arrival, you can relax and prepare for your upcoming adventure. (For group tours: In the evening, the group will meet, and you will meet your German-speaking tour guide.) Overnight stay at the hotel.

Today you will be picked up from your hotel and driven for approximately 3 hours to the Londorossi Park Gate on the western side of Kilimanjaro. With a bit of luck, you might spot buffalo and elephants, as a ranger will accompany you for safety reasons. Admire the picturesque Maasai Steppe before you reach the park. Today's hike is relatively easy, allowing you to gradually acclimatize to the altitude. Your ascent begins in the Lemosho Glades. You will hike through lush rainforest and reach Mti Mkubwa Camp via Chamber's Route, where you will spend your first night.

Today you leave the rainforest and ascend steep paths into a heath and moorland landscape. You cross the Shira Ridge and reach Shira Camp 1 at 3,500 m. The surroundings are breathtaking. You will spend the night here.

You continue hiking east across the Shira Plateau, past the impressive Shira Cathedral, towards Shira Two Camp. You only ascend 330 meters to gradually acclimatize to the altitude. The views of the plateau are spectacular. Overnight stay at Shira Two Camp.

Today you continue east, ascending through the arid landscape until you reach Barranco Camp at 3,900 m. The hike takes approximately 5-7 hours. Overnight stay at Barranco Camp.

The trail leads steeply out of the Barranco Valley, through the Karanga Valley, and then north to Barafu Camp at 4,600 m. The hike takes approximately 3-4 hours. Overnight stay at Barafu Camp.

You begin your summit climb at midnight. You cross a steep scree slope that leads you between the Rebman and Ratzel glaciers to Stella Point (5,740 m), which is located directly on the crater rim. Uhuru Peak (5,898 m) is now within easy reach. The long climb takes you to the highest point in Africa – right at sunrise. An unforgettable moment! The descent follows the Mweka route and leads through lava fields. After a lunch break at Barafu Camp, the trail continues down to Mweka Camp at 3,100 m, where you can recover from your exertions.

The final leg takes you to the Mweka Gate. The descent takes approximately 4 hours, and you'll reach the Park Gate around midday. Here you'll say goodbye to your crew and to Kilimanjaro. A transfer will then take you back to your hotel in Moshi.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight home or to an extension program. We would be happy to assist you in planning a safari or a beach extension in Zanzibar.

The Lemosho Route offers a quiet, less-traveled alternative to other routes. The trail features a varied elevation profile, ranging from rainforests to rocky summit regions. Thanks to the gradual ascent, it allows for good acclimatization, increasing the success rate. Two separate routes for the ascent and descent add variety. There are rocky sections that require sure footing, and the route is relatively long, taking 7-8 days. The starting point is somewhat farther away, requiring a longer journey.

Extend your Tanzanian adventure with a break on the Indian Ocean! White sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and the unique flair of the "Spice Island" offer the perfect contrast to your action-packed days on the mainland. Whether you simply want to soak up the sun, stroll through the winding alleys of Stone Town, or experience the exotic scents of the spice plantations – we'll create your personalized beach extension in Zanzibar, tailored to your exact wishes.
