ITINERARY
Pick up and drive to West Kilimanjaro Lemosho a little used route. We track through the montane forest. In places the vegetation is so untouched that it grows right across the trail. The flora and fauna are richer here than on the other more popular routes through the rain forest. Our first camp is in the rain forest at Mti Mkubwa(Big Tree).
Leave the glades and start the climb towards the heath and moorland zone. Cross into the Shira Caldera, a high altitude desert plateau, very different from the rainforest. Weather and volcanic action have decimated the crater rim. Get your first close views of Kibo – the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Explore the Shira Plateau for a full day. Walk east on moorland meadows towards Shira 2 Camp. Then divert from the main trail to Moir Hut, a little-used site at the base of Lent Hills. A variety of walks are available on Lent Hills making this an excellent acclimatization opportunity. Shira Plateau is one of the highest plateaus on earth.
Climbing toward Lava Tower lower camp, at 15, 200-ft/4, 633m, where we stop for lunch, allowing our bodies to acclimatize. We descend down through the giant Senecio forest to Barranco Camp, which is beautifully set up on a ridge at the foot of the Barranco Wall. This is where the Machame and Lemosho routes converge, so we meet other climbers ascending the Machame Route.
Our big challenge is to hike up the Barranco Wall, a 500 -ft lava flow. It’s not a technical wall, but challenging nonetheless. Once on top of the “wall”, the climb becomes easier and extremely beautiful with fantastic views. The sunsets here are truly spectacular evening dinner and overnight at camp.
Breakfast and hiking to Barafu Summit Camp. The camp lies as high as 4,640 meters and is the starting point for night climbing to Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters). Make sure you spend the remaining time resting and sleeping well, so you’re well prepared for the night summiting schedule ahead.
At midnight to 2am, we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. We'll head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. From Stella Point (18,600ft) you may encounter snow all they way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Faster hikers will see the sunrise from the summit.
Breakfast and we descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. A vehicle will meet you and drive you to town dropped off.
