7 days Lemosho route climbing

7 days Lemosho route climbing, lemosho is well known as the highly scenic route, also renowned for its beauty and excellent acclimatization profile! Your adventure begins on Kilimanjaro’s quieter western slopes, trekking through pristine forest with potential wildlife sightings, before emerging onto the vast, breathtaking Shira Plateau offering stunning panoramic views. As you traverse the plateau and join the main circuit trail, you’ll benefit from the crucial ‘climb high, sleep low’ principle, often ascending towards Lava Tower before descending, and tackle the exciting scramble up the Barranco Wall. The 7-day itinerary allows for a more gradual ascent compared to shorter options, often including a stop at Karanga Camp, which significantly aids your body’s adjustment to the altitude before reaching the stark alpine desert of Barafu Camp. Prepare for the ultimate challenge: the midnight summit push, witnessing an unforgettable sunrise illuminating the glaciers as you climb steadily (‘pole pole’) towards Uhuru Peak. Celebrate reaching the roof of Africa, well-prepared by the route’s pacing, before making the long, triumphant descent, filled with memories of diverse landscapes and incredible vistas from start to finish.
