Package Overview

The Lemosho route starts on the western side of Kilimanjaro at Lemosho Gate (2,100 m)鈥�. You climb through rainforest, then moorland, then alpine desert, then the arctic summit. You descend along the Mweka route, which runs down the southeastern slope.

Most people complete the Lemosho route in seven days, but it can be extended by one day to give you a little longer to acclimatise. We usually recommend choosing the eight-day version as it increases your chances of summiting.

At Stella Point you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit.
  
  From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa!
