Your Kilimanjaro trek begins at the Lemosho Gate, where you'll complete registration formalities and meet your knowledgeable guides and porters. The trail winds through a lush rainforest, where you'll encounter a variety of exotic flora and fauna. After several hours of trekking, you'll arrive at Mti Mkubwa Camp, your first overnight campsite. Take a moment to relax, enjoy a delicious meal, and absorb the tranquil atmosphere of the rainforest.
Upon your arrival in Moshi, a vibrant town nestled at the base of Kilimanjaro, you'll be warmly welcomed by the team from Burigi Chato Safaris, your trusted tour company for this adventure. After settling into your accommodation, you'll attend a pre-trek briefing where you'll meet your experienced guides and receive important information about the trek. Take this opportunity to ask any questions and ensure you're well-prepared for the journey ahead.
As the sun rises, you'll continue your ascent from Mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira 1 Camp. The trail gradually gains altitude, offering captivating views of the surrounding landscapes. The vegetation transitions from rainforest to heath and moorland, creating a striking contrast. Arriving at Shira 1 Camp, situated at an elevation of approximately 3,500 meters, you'll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of the Shira Plateau, a vast high-altitude desert.
Leaving Shira 1 Camp, you'll embark on a trek that takes you through diverse terrains. The trail traverses the unique ecosystem of the mountain, and you'll witness the ever-changing landscape unfold before your eyes. As you make your way to Barranco Camp, situated at around 3,950 meters, you'll encounter the famous Barranco Wall, a thrilling yet manageable climb. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the campsite as you prepare for the next leg of your journey.
On this day, you'll conquer the challenges of the Barranco Wall, a highlight of the Lemosho Route. This exhilarating climb will test your agility and reward you with stunning panoramic views from the top. After descending from the wall, the trail continues to Karanga Camp, located at approximately 3,995 meters. This campsite provides a picturesque setting and serves as a crucial acclimatization point before your final push to the summit.
Leaving Karanga Camp, you'll trek to Barafu Camp, the final base camp before your summit attempt. The trail ascends through barren and rocky terrain, gradually leading you to an elevation of approximately 4,600 meters. Upon reaching Barafu Camp, take the time to rest, hydrate, and mentally prepare for the challenging summit day ahead. Enjoy a nourishing meal and ensure you get enough rest to maximize your chances of success.
Today is the day you've been waiting for—the summit day! You'll wake up before midnight and begin your ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point of Kilimanjaro at 5,895 meters. The trek to the summit is physically and mentally demanding, but the breathtaking sunrise and the sense of achievement make it all worthwhile. As you reach Uhuru Peak, take a moment to celebrate your accomplishment and soak in the awe-inspiring views. After capturing this unforgettable experience, you'll begin your descent to Mweka Camp for a well-deserved rest.
After celebrating this remarkable achievement and get a well-deserved rest, you'll transfer from Mweka Camp to Lemosho Gate with the Trekking success, passing through lush rainforest, immersing you in the natural beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro.
