Tanzania offers an array of trekking safari experiences, with some of the most renowned destinations being Kilimanjaro, Meru, Usambara, and Oldonyo Lengai mountains. Kilimanjaro Mountain, the highest peak in Africa, attracts trekkers from around the world. The trek to the summit is challenging but rewarding, featuring diverse ecosystems and stunning landscapes. There are multiple routes, each offering unique scenery, such as the Machame Route, Lemosho Route, and Marangu Route. Trekkers can witness dramatic changes in vegetation, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, before reaching the snow-capped summit. Lemosho Route: The Lemosho Route is known for its breathtaking scenery and lower traffic compared to other paths. Often referred to as the “Londorosi” route, it spans about 70 kilometers (44 miles). This route provides a more gradual climb, increasing acclimatization chances. The Lemosho Route is recommended for those who appreciate a quieter, less crowded trek. The optimal periods to embark on this route are during the drier months of January to March and June to October

After registration by the Government authorities (Kilimanjaro National Park officers) you will be driven up to a bumpy track that will take you into the dense rainforest to the drop-off point where your trek begins. You will follow a moderately steep track, which leads you through an amazing and unspoilt natural forest to Mkubwa Camp (2,800 m).

Shira Cave
Tag 1
Mkubwa camp (2,780 m) – Shira Camp 2 (3,900 m) The trek will start on a small trail that passes through the rainforest. As you climb, the forest gradually thins out and the landscape changes into heath and moorland where plants like Erica and lobelia start to dominate the landscape. You will cross the Shira Ridge and after 4 to 5 hours of trekking, you will reach the Shira Camp 1. Here you will stop for a lunch, relax a bit and enjoy the fantastic views of Mt Meru and the Rift Valley. For the last part of the climb, you will climb another 400 m in altitude. The landscape will change again and at Shira Camp 2(approximately 4 hours). Shira camp 2 is the final destination for this day and you will spend your evening and night there.

This will allow your body to cope with the climatic change, as a height of over 4,600 m will be reached before descending again. The trek begins with a long ascent above the Shira Plateau in the direction of the Lava Tower (4,640 m). The climb passes through the wide Barranco Valley which has lobelia and giant senecio plants. After 6 to 7 hours’ walking, you will arrive at the Barranco Camp – perhaps the most beautiful camp on Kilimanjaro.

Barafu Camp (4,640 m) – Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) – Mweka Camp (3,080 m) Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a north-westerly direction and ascend through a heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point (18,600 ft), you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting). From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Fast hikers will see the sunrise from the summit. After a short break and taking photos, you will return to Barafu Camp just before midday where the rest of the crew will be waiting for you.
