L'ascension du Kilimandjaro sur la route de Lemosho est un trek de première qualité conçu pour 6, 7 ou 8 jours. L'ascension à travers différentes zones climatiques commence sur des landes et se poursuit à travers des prairies alpines pour monter jusqu'à la zone arctique près du pic Uhuru.
La descente se fait à travers la forêt tropicale. Tout cela fait de cette route la plus pittoresque du Kilimandjaro. La route Lemosho offre l'acclimatation la plus douce et les taux de réussite les plus élevés : 85 %, 90 % et 95 % pour les programmes de 6, 7 et 8 jours, respectivement.
La distance totale parcourue sur la voie Lemosho est de 46 kilomètres (28,5 miles). Nous recommandons ce sentier à ceux qui sont prêts à payer un peu plus cher pour une descente en véhicule en haute altitude. Les meilleures vues sur la montagne et les chances accrues de réussir le sommet sont gratuites.
After breakfast and briefing, drive to Londorossi Park Gate (about a 3-hour drive). From here a forest track requiring a 4WD vehicle leads to Lemosho Glades. Walk along forest trails to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) campsite.

Shortly after the tower, we come to the second junction which goes to the Arrow Glacier. We now continue down to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point, you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit.
From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa!
From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. We arrive at Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the mountain.
