# Lemosho Route 8 Days Group Joining Itinerary

## Lemosho Route 8 Days Group Trekking Itinerary

This Lemosho route is one of the most scenic routes for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and it is recommended for those who want to have a more gradual ascent and better acclimatization.

### Day 1: Arrival in Tanzania

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transfer to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. Meet your trekking group and the mountain guide for a pre-climb briefing.

#### Day 2: Londorossi Gate to Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree) Camp

Drive from Moshi/Arusha to the Lemosho starting point at Londorossi Gate (2,100 meters/6,890 feet), after complete park registration and meet the porters and crew. Begin your trek through the lush rainforest. Reach Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,780 meters/9,121 feet) and spend the night.

#### Day 3: Mti Mkubwa Camp to Shira 1 Camp

After breakfast, continue trekking through the rainforest. As you gain altitude, the vegetation changes to heath and moorland. Reach Shira 1 Camp (3,500 meters/11,482 feet) for the night.

#### Day 4: Shira 1 Camp to Shira 2 Camp

Today's trek takes you to Shira 2 Camp (3,900 meters/12,795 feet). You'll experience a relatively short hiking day, which allows for better acclimatization.

#### Day 5: Shira 2 Camp to Barranco Camp

Begin the day by trekking towards the Lava Tower (4,600 meters/15,091 feet). Descend to Barranco Camp (3,950 meters/12,960 feet) for overnight. The Lava Tower helps with acclimatization, as you'll sleep at a lower elevation than your highest point of the day.

#### Day 6: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

Today involves a challenging climb up the Barranco Wall. Continue trekking through alpine desert terrain. Reach Karanga Camp (4,200 meters/13,780 feet) for the night.

Trek to Barafu Camp (4,600 meters/15,091 feet), which is the base camp for the summit attempt. Rest and prepare for the summit push, which usually begins in the early hours of the next morning.

#### Day 8: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp

Start the ascent in the early morning to reach Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters/19,341 feet), the highest point in Africa. Descend to Mweka Camp (3,100 meters/10,170 feet) for the night. Celebrate your successful climb with your fellow trekkers and the mountain crew.

#### Day 9: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate

Descend further through the rainforest to Mweka Gate (1,650 meters/5,413 feet). Complete the necessary paperwork and receive your summit certificates. Transfer back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha for a well-deserved shower and rest.
