Overview of This Kilimanjaro Adventure
Embark on a spectacular journey to the roof of Africa via the 7 Days Lemosho Route—widely considered Kilimanjaro’s most beautiful and well-balanced trail. This route begins on the remote western side of the mountain, offering lush rainforest, expansive Shira Plateau views, alpine deserts, and a thrilling final ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895m).
Originally designed as a longer and less crowded option, the Lemosho Route has gained popularity for its high summit success rate, thanks to its excellent acclimatization profile. The trail gradually climbs through several ecological zones, allowing your body to adjust naturally to increasing altitude.
Historically, the Lemosho Route was only accessible to scientific expeditions and experienced climbers. Today, it’s open to trekkers seeking a more immersive and scenic route compared to the busier Marangu and Machame trails. Its starting point—Londorossi Gate—is also a great area for wildlife encounters, including monkeys, antelope, and sometimes even elephants in the lower forests.
Over the course of seven days, you'll pass through remote camps such as Forest Camp (Mti Mkubwa), Shira Camps, and Karanga Camp, all leading up to your final base at Barafu Camp. From there, the midnight summit push offers breathtaking views at dawn, with glaciers, stars, and the sun rising over the African plains below.
After reaching Uhuru Peak, the descent is made through Mweka Route on the southern side, offering yet another perspective of this incredible mountain.
With Origin Ventures and Safaris, your trek is led by professional mountain guides certified in high-altitude safety and hospitality. Every step of your journey is designed for both safety and soul-stirring adventure.
