描述
Embark on a 7-day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route. Climb through the rainforest, heath, and moorland with ferns and ericas.
Embark on a 7-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Begin your adventure with a transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport to your hotel in Arusha. The next day, start your trek on the Lemosho Route, which begins on the western side of Mount Kilimanjaro.
On the first 2 days of the tour, cross the thick rainforest belt which then changes into heath and moorland with many ferns and ericas along the way. Climb approximately 700 meters on day 4, but spend the night at an elevation only slightly higher than the previous night to allow your body to acclimatize.
On day 5, tackle the steepest part of the entire route, the Barranco Wall. Every now and then, you may need your hands to hold on as there are no climbing paths. Safety is paramount and your guides will assist you whenever necessary. After reaching the top of Barranco Wall, walk along the mountain ridge. From here, have fantastic views of the southern glacier of Kibo as well as of the Kibo summit.
Arrive at Karanga Camp around lunch time. On day 6, walk along a trail that passes through an alpine desert area until you reach the destination of the day, the Barafu Camp. In the afternoon, relax and stretch your legs in preparation for the upcoming summit night. Have dinner early in order to catch a few hours of sleep before being woken up at around midnight.
After some hot tea and a light snack, the climb begins at around midnight. By torchlight, start walking on the lava ash that is still frozen. After 5 to 7 hours, arrive at Stella Point, the crater rim of Mount Kilimanjaro. Another 1 to 2 hours climb along the crater ridge will lead you to the summit of Uhuru Peak.
From Africa’s Roof, see the surrounding landscape being lit up by the rising sun – a truly liberating experience. After a short break and taking photos, return to Barafu Camp just before midday where the rest of the crew will be waiting for you. Have a warm lunch and rest for about 1 to 2 hours before making your way down to the Mweka Camp about 3 hours away.
The final leg of your amazing adventure begins after breakfast with a traditional farewell ceremony from the mountain crew. Then a gentle 2 to 3 hours’ descent through the rainforest continues to Mweka Gate, where your driver will be waiting for you. He will take you back to the Meru View Lodge and after a warm shower, the rest of the day is free to rest or to celebrate your achievement.
The next day, after breakfast, be transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport. Alternatively, extend your trip in Tanzania and go on safari or relax at the Indian Ocean.
