  1. 7 Days Kilimanjaro Treks and Tours

  2. Overview With eight days of trip-time, your Kilimanjaro trek on the Lemosho Route takes longer than the alternatives, but is a bit quieter and gives plenty of acclimatization time to trekkers… The landscape is varied, with possible animal sightings on the first day’s hike, when you start out from Londorosi Gate. You will have a private vehicle to take you to and from the mountain. Accommodation on the mountain on this trip will be in tented camps – a great experience, a true mountain adventure. Best Kilimanjaro Treks and Tours comes in a luxury climb that starts with a thrilling adventure each day. Starting from accommodation to trek everything will be special, exciting, and unique. Select the route that best suits you, and maximizes your comfort, enjoyment, and chance of success. Itinerary Day 00: Airport Pick-Up – Drop Off At Hotel member of Avocet Tanzania Luxury Safaris team will meet and greets you upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport . He will drive you to your hotel, which provides all the amenities necessary for your comfort: pleasant rooms with hot showers, swimming pool, restaurant and access to the internet. Your briefing, in the course of which your guide will provide all the details of the upcoming trek, takes place in the evening. A final check of your readiness to tackle Kilimanjaro is the final part of your preparations. Accommodation: Gran Melia Hotel Journey time and Distance: 1 hour, 50 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha

  3. Day 01: Arusha – Londorosi Gate & Starting Point – Mti Mkubwa After an early breakfast (07.00), you leave the hotel one hour later to arrive at the Londorosi Gate for registration around 11.00, and in time to have your picnic lunch. After Londorosi, you have a short drive to the starting-point of today’s walk. Today your walk is a distance of 7 km, with an expected 3.5 to 4 hours of walking time. Your starting altitude is some 2,100 meters and you finish at 2,650 meters. Your approach to the mountain is from the west and some people say this provides the best views of Kilimanjaro. At the start of your walk, you may be lucky enough to spy some colobus or blue monkeys, though an encounter with buffalo, elephant or leopard would be rare nowadays. Your walk, steadily upwards, is a wonderful experience, with fantastic forest and some colourful flowers. Mti Mkubwa Camp (‘Big Tree Camp’) is normally reached by 18.00 and dinner is served at 19.30. Accommodation: Mti Mkubwa Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 4 hours, from Starting Point (2,100 m) to Mti Mkubwa (2,650 m)

  4. Day 02: From Mti Mkubwa To Shira 1 Camp You will soon become used to the early, 07.00 breakfast and your departure time is at 08.00. Although your walking distance is similar to yesterday, today you will be ascending from 2,650 meters to 3,610 meters and you expect a longer walking time of between 4.5 and 5 hours. Today, the trees of your first day thin out, you eventually leave the forest environment behind as you move onto the moorland and are able to get your first view of both the Shira Plateau and Kibo itself. As ever, you should concentrate on walking pole pole (slowly) to reduce the chances of feeling unwell. Your direction is largely eastwards, picnic lunch is taken around 13.00. Walking is steep at first after lunch, but then flattens and with the snow-topped Kibo ahead of you, you descend slightly to the Shira 1 Camp. Arriving at around 16.00, your dinner will be ready at 18.30. Accommodation: Shira 1 Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 5 hours, from Mti Mkubwa (2,650 m) to Shira 1 Camp (3,610 m)

  5. Day 03: From Shira 1 Camp To Shira 2 Camp Compared to yesterday, your climbing today is less (240 meters of ascent) and takes you up to an altitude of 3,850 meters. The distance you cover will be similar, at approximately 7 km. It is a steady, uphill climb and you should expect about 3.5 to 4 hours of walk time in total. Your breakfast today is at the civilized hour of 08.00 and your departure one hour later. You set off in a south-eastern direction across the moor and heathland of the Shira Plateau. Buffalo, dik-dik and klipspringer graze here and can occasionally be seen. You intend to reach Shira 2 Camp – which is also known as Shira Huts – by 13.00, in time to be served a hot lunch. Dinner tonight will be at 18.00. Accommodation: Shira 2 Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 4 hours, from Shira 1 Camp (3,610 m) to Shira 2 Camp (3,850 m)

  6. Day 04: From Shira 2 Camp To The Lava Tower And Descent To Barranco Camp Today you are back to your early, 07.00 breakfast time, ready for 08.30 departure. You have around 10 km to cover, but although you will finish your day only 50 meters higher than you started it, in between you have to climb to the foot of the Lava Tower (4,600 meters) before you then descend once more, down to Barranco for your overnight stop. You can expect around 6.5 to 7 hours of walking, during which time you leave the Shira Ridge and the Lemosho Route joins up with the more popular Machame trail. The scenery today changes to predominantly Alpine desert. Your picnic lunch will be at 13.00, arrival at Barranco around 16.00 and dinner at about 19.00. Accommodation: Barranco Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 7 hours, Shira 2 Camp (3,850 m) – Lava Tower – (4,600) – Barranco Camp (3,900 m)

  7. Day 05: From Barranco Camp To Karanga Camp Today you breakfast slightly later (07.30) and your walk is short, being only 4 km but still taking between 3.5 and 4 hours of walking time. Your departure time today will be 08.30 and you will enjoy a hot lunch at 13.00 at Karanga and have the afternoon to enjoy the views before dinner at 18.00. Your altitude gain today is only 95 meters. At the beginning, you encounter the hardest part of today’s stage as you have to scramble up the near-vertical face of the Barranco Wall (also commonly referred to as the ‘Breakfast Wall’ as you tackle it right after your breakfast!). At the top of this climb, you will be rewarded with views of the Heim Glacier. After this, the rest of today’s walk becomes a bit easier as you first descend to the gully below, and into the cold but beautiful Karanga Valley. You then continue and finally climb up a steep series of zig-zags until reaching the Karanga Camp. Accommodation: Karanga Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 4 hours, from Barranco Camp (3,900 m) to Karanga Camp (3,995 m)

  8. Day 06: From Karanga Camp To Barafu Camp Another short day -in terms of distance – begins with your breakfast at the camp at 07.30 and another 08.30 departure. Today you will ascend about 670 meters in a distance of around 5 km and walking time once again is between 3.5 and 4 hours. You will be aiming to arrive the Barafu Camp by 13.00, when you will be rewarded with a hot lunch. (With tomorrow being the summit day, it will be important to relax and prepare for the hard work ahead.) Dinner tonight is served at 17.30, giving you time to get to bed early. After leaving Karanga, today’s stage climbs steadily, passing through barren, rocky landscape, with the Dicken and Kersten glaciers visible away to your left. At the top of the climb, the landscape remains bleak as you descend into a valley and you get your first sight of another glacier, Rebmann. At the end of this valley is today’s goal, the Barafu Camp, at which you arrive after a short, steep scramble and a walk. Accommodation: Barafu Camp Hiking time and Elevation: 4 hours, from Karanga Camp (3,995 m) to Barafu Camp (4,673 m)

  9. Day 06: From Karanga Camp To Barafu Camp Another short day -in terms of distance – begins with your breakfast at the camp at 07.30 and another 08.30 departure. Today you will ascend about 670 meters in a distance of around 5 km and walking time once again is between 3.5 and 4 hours.
