8 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Lemosho Route Tour Description
The 8 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Tour is a challenging but rewarding trekking experience up the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. The Lemosho route is a popular option for trekkers due to its relatively low traffic and stunning scenery.
The 8 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Tour typically begins with a briefing and gear check in Moshi, Tanzania, followed by a transfer to the trailhead. The first two days of the trek take climbers through dense rainforest and gradually up to the Shira Plateau, offering glimpses of Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak along the way.
Days three to six are spent traversing the rugged terrain of the Southern Circuit, with daily ascents and descents through alpine deserts, high altitude moorlands, and rocky ridges. The Lava Tower and Barranco Wall are two particularly challenging sections of the trek that require some technical climbing skills.
On the seventh day, climbers ascend to the summit of Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak, at an altitude of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). This final push is typically done overnight in order to reach the summit at sunrise, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The descent takes two days, with a final night spent at the Mweka Campsite. The tour ends with a transfer back to Moshi for a celebratory dinner and certificate presentation.
