The Lemosho route is widely regarded as an optimal choice for climbers seeking effective acclimatization and breathtaking vistas. Its lesser usage and scenic ascent to the Shira Plateau enhance its appeal.
Distinguished by the provision of armed ranger accompaniment on the initial day, the route ensures safety in the face of potential encounters with buffalo, elephant, and other wildlife inhabiting the Lemosho Glades.
While the minimum duration for the Lemosho route is 6 days, a prudent recommendation advises extending the journey to 7 days. This additional day facilitates superior acclimatization, mitigating the risk of altitude sickness, and affords essential rest ahead of the summit attempt.
Following breakfast and a briefing, embark on a drive to Londorossi Park Gate, approximately a 3-hour journey. From there, traverse a forest track accessible only by 4WD to reach Lemosho Glades. Trek through forest trails to Mti Mkubwa Campsite.
After breakfast, ascend through the heather moorland zone, crossing streams en route to Shira 2 Camp nestled amidst moorland meadows by a tranquil stream.
Trek from the Shira Plateau to Barranco Camp, passing by the Lava Tower and ascending the Barranco Wall. This day's route, while maintaining the starting elevation, is crucial for acclimatization, preparing the body for the summit push.
Embark on a steep ascent up the Barranco Wall, continuing to the Karanga Valley and merging with the Mweka Trail. The day's journey unfolds amidst the awe-inspiring landscape of the alpine desert.
After breakfast, take some time to relax at the lodge before embarking on a short tour of Arusha, perhaps indulging in some souvenir shopping guided by our knowledgeable staff. Finally, we'll transfer you to either Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport, marking the end of your unforgettable safari experience with us.
