The route
Lemosho Gate › Mti Mkubwa Camp › Shira Camp 1 › Shira Camp 2 › Barranco Camp › Karanga Camp › Barafu Camp › Uhuru Peak › Mweka
Lemosho approaches from the west and takes the longest way up. The first days cross quiet forest and the Shira plateau, well away from the busier southern routes.
Those extra days are the point. Ten days gives the most gradual altitude gain of the three routes we run, and more time at altitude is the single strongest factor in reaching the summit comfortably.
If you have never been high before, or you simply want the best chance of enjoying the mountain rather than enduring it, this is the one to choose.
Who it suits
- Anyone who has not been at altitude before
- Trekkers who want the best acclimatisation profile
- Those who value quieter early days on the mountain
How we adjust it
Every one of our journeys is a starting point. We lengthen or shorten them, make them private, change the comfort level, swap a park, or add the coast. Tell us your dates and what matters most and we will shape it around you.
