Overview

The 8-day Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and less crowded routes on Kilimanjaro. It offers stunning views, beautiful forests, and ample time for acclimatization, giving climbers a higher chance of summiting successfully. Known for its gradual ascent, it’s ideal for those looking to enjoy the journey at a steady pace. This is an entirely private climb, whether you’re trekking solo or with a group. While the trek itself lasts 8 days on the mountain, the full itinerary is 10 days, including arrival and departure.

Day 1: Arrival into Tanzania

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where you’ll be picked up and taken to your hotel in Arusha. Rest and get ready for the adventure ahead.
