Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 : Londorossi Gate to Mti Mkubwa Campsite

The 6-day Lemosho route climb of Kilimanjaro is an exciting beginning to the adventure. Day 1 starts at your hotel with a light breakfast before you're picked up for the trip. At 2,250 meters, the Londorossi Gate is waiting for you, where you can complete the required registration processes. Get ready for an exhilarating journey through the rough terrain as you enter the heart of the dense jungle. This is the first step of your incredible climb up Kilimanjaro. You'll travel on an incredible path that winds through pure forests on a somewhat steep trail. Reaching 2,780 meters above sea level, you will reach the impressive Big Tree Camp. For the first two days, you will be accompanied by an experienced ranger who will make sure you are safe in this unspoiled wilderness that is home to an abundance of amazing wildlife. As you continue into Kilimanjaro's magical world of natural wonders, get ready for an immersive experience unlike any other.

Day 2 : Mti Mkubwa Campsite to Shira Camp 1

On the second day of your six-day hike up Kilimanjaro, get ready for an incredible experience. Follow a narrow path through the verdant jungle as it gradually rises to a desolate and dry area. The moorland is dotted with lobelia and ericas as the forest thins out. Go past Shira Ridge and reach Shira Camp 1 after four to five hours. While you enjoy the view of Mount Meru and the Rift Valley during your Kilimanjaro adventure, take a lunch break. Climb 250 meters higher over the course of the next three hours. Navigate the hardened lava terrain and come across majestic senecios that reach heights of up to nine meters. Arrive at Shira Camp 2, your final destination for the day. After enjoying a hearty dinner, watch the sun set and, with any luck, see the peak glowing orange.

Day 3 : Shira Camp 2 Campsite to Barranco

The third day of the six-day Kilimanjaro climb will likely involve a hike of about eight hundred meters. But your campsite will only be marginally higher than it was the night before, giving your body the time it needs to adjust. This gets you ready for the 4,500-meter climb that takes place over the next two days. Get ready for a challenging climb up the Lava Tower towards the Shira Plateau. We'll follow a ridge that heads southeast, passing through an afro-alpine desert with limited vegetation before arriving at the "Shark's Tooth" lava tower.

We'll come to another crossroads after the tower that leads to 16,000-foot Arrow Glacier. From there, we'll descend into the vast Barranco Valley, which is dotted with imposing lobelia and senecio plants. You will arrive at the scenic Barranco Camp, which is known as the mountain's most exquisite campsite, after a 6- to 7-hour hike.
