Itinerary

Londorossi Gate to Forest Camp

Kilimanjaro

The journey unfolds at Londorossi Gate, where you complete formalities and prepare for your adventure. From there, the Lemosho trailhead beckons. As you ascend through the untouched forest, the rustle of leaves and the promise of the wild accompany you. It's a 7 km hike through a rainforest habitat, a day filled with the lush beauty of nature.

Forest Camp

Forest Camp to Shira Camp

Kilimanjaro

Leaving the forest behind, you enter a savannah adorned with tall grasses and volcanic rocks covered in lichen beards. The Shira Ridge offers a stunning view of Kibo, a sight that fills your heart with awe. It's a day where the landscape becomes your muse, as you trek from 9,500ft to 11,500ft.

Shira Camp

Shira Campsite to Moir Camp

Kilimanjaro

The plateau of Shira, one of Earth's highest, is your playground today. As you walk, the gentle slopes lead you to Shira 2 camp, where you can explore the plateau. It's a day of acclimatization and connection with the mountain, a dance with altitude that elevates your spirit.

Moir Camp

Moir Camp to Barranco Camp

The Shark's Tooth, Lava Tower, is your next stop, offering an altitude of 16,000ft. The journey continues to Barranco Hut at 13,000ft. It's a day of rest and acclimatization, preparing your body for the summit. The scree slopes and semi-desert terrain create a challenging yet rewarding landscape.

Barranco Camp

Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

After a good night's rest, you embark on a tough climb to Barafu camp at 4640m. The steep, desolate scree slopes are a test of your determination. It's a day where you feel the altitude, a day to keep hydrated and warm, for the summit day looms ahead.

Karanga Camp

Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

As you leave Karanga, the South Circuit opens up before you, with magnificent views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. Barafu Camp becomes your haven, where you rest and prepare for the grand summit day.

Barafu Camp

Barafu Camp-Summit to Mweka Camp

This is the day you've been waiting for, the day of dreams fulfilled. In the darkness, you ascend towards the summit, a mental and physical challenge like no other. Stella Point greets you at 18,600 ft, and there, you witness a sunrise that paints the sky with wonder. As you reach Uhuru Peak, you stand atop Africa. The descent takes you through snow, then to Mweka camp, where you rest after an emotional and physical summit.

Mweka Camp

Mweka Camp to Moshi

Descending to Mweka Park Gate, you receive your summit certificate. It's a journey through a wet, muddy path, a reminder of the challenges you conquered. As you return to your hotel in Moshi, you carry not just a certificate but a heart filled with the memories of an extraordinary 8-day Dakado Kilimanjaro Hiking Lemosho Route tour
