8 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing package via Lemosho Route and Descend via Mweka

8 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing package via Lemosho Route and Descend via Mweka

Duration  :8 days 7 nights

Itinerary : Moshi, Mti Mkubwa camp, Shira plateau camp, Lava camp, Barranco camp, Karanga Valley, Barafucamp, Summit, Mweka camp, Moshi.

The Lemosho Route approaches the mountain from the western side and is one of the most secluded and scenic trails on Mount Kilimanjaro. With fewer trekkers and rich biodiversity in the rainforest zone, climbers often enjoy a quieter and more immersive wilderness experience.

This route is considered challenging, but the extra days on the lower slopes provide excellent altitude acclimatization, increasing summit success rates. Lemosho is widely regarded as one of the most varied and beautiful routes as it crosses the spectacular Shira Plateau, joins the Machame Route near Lava Tower, and passes the dramatic Barranco Wall before summiting at Uhuru Peak.

Ideal for trekkers confident in their fitness and those who value proper acclimatization and less crowded trails.
