Tanzania Trekking
An eight-day Kilimanjaro climb from the western side through forest, Shira Plateau and the southern circuit before the summit.
This eight-day Lemosho itinerary uses the western approach and a longer progression across Kilimanjaro. It is suited to travellers who want more time on the mountain and a route that develops gradually before the summit phase.
Day by day
After registration and transfer to the western trailhead, begin through rainforest to the first camp.
Continue out of the forest into heath and moorland toward the western Shira Plateau.
Cross the plateau at a controlled pace with time to settle into higher altitude.
Climb toward Lava Tower before descending to Barranco for an important acclimatisation day.
Cross the Barranco Wall area and continue to Karanga with guide-managed pacing.
Reach the summit staging camp, rest and prepare for the overnight climb.
Climb toward Uhuru Peak, then descend from the summit zone to Mweka Camp.
Finish the descent through forest and transfer from the gate after park formalities.
