8-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Lemosho Route – Wild Rhythms Safaris

After registration at Londorossi Gate, begin your trek through the lush rainforest. Spot colobus monkeys and unique flora as you reach Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp for dinner and overnight.

Continue your climb into the heath zone. Cross the Shira Ridge and arrive at Shira Plateau with expansive views of the mountain. Overnight at Shira 1 Camp.

A gentle trek across the Shira Plateau offers time for acclimatization. Arrive at Shira 2 Camp with views of glaciers and volcanic formations. Rest, hydrate, and enjoy the alpine atmosphere.

Climb to Lava Tower for high-altitude acclimatization, then descend to Barranco Camp. This “climb high, sleep low” strategy improves adaptation and stamina. Rest beneath the Barranco Wall.

Begin the day with a scramble up the Barranco Wall. Continue through rolling hills and alpine desert to reach Karanga Camp. A shorter but vital day for altitude preparation.

Climb to Barafu Camp, your summit base. After an early dinner and gear prep, rest before the midnight ascent. Expect cold conditions and stunning night skies.

At midnight, begin the push to Stella Point and onward to Uhuru Peak for sunrise. Celebrate briefly before descending to Barafu and continuing to Mweka Camp for a final overnight.

Descend through rainforest trails to Mweka Gate. Receive your certificate and meet your driver for the transfer back to Arusha, where a hot shower and celebration meal await.
