Overview of This Kilimanjaro Trek

The 6 Days Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and rewarding ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Starting from the lush western forests and ascending through the vast Shira Plateau, this route offers stunning views, rich biodiversity, and a more remote trekking experience compared to the more popular paths.

Although typically completed in 7 or 8 days, this special 6-day itinerary is designed for experienced hikers or trekkers with good acclimatization preparation. It combines the beauty of the route with a slightly faster pace, still maintaining a high summit success rate.

The Lemosho trail passes through five ecological zones—from rainforest and heath to alpine desert and arctic summit. You’ll pass iconic camps such as Shira 2, Barranco, and Barafu before making the final push to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa.

Historically used by smaller climbing groups and researchers seeking solitude and untouched nature, Lemosho is now considered one of the top choices for serious trekkers due to its low traffic, scenic diversity, and acclimatization profile.

Let Origin Ventures and Safaris guide you safely to the summit with certified mountain guides, quality equipment, and unmatched hospitality. Challenge yourself on one of the world’s greatest trekking routes.
