9-day Mount Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route with Crater Camp

The Lemosho Route is typically completed in 8 days, with fantastic journey and a great chance of summiting successfully. This is a great option if you want longer route for acclimatization and over crowds avoiding. 
The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, at an altitude of 2,360 metres, with an approach far to the west of the mountain. It passes through majestic rainforest where some of the region’s most unique wildlife can often be seen. The route continues up to the mountain’s third summit at Shira Ridge. From there you will cross the famed Shira plateau and see the awe inspiring Shira Cathedral before reaching Shira camp on the main Machame route on day three. This allows a few days of quiet climbing overlooking some amazing terrain before taking the more heavily travelled route to the summit. After reaching the summit, you will descend by the rim of the crater at 5,730 metres to avernight. The Crater Camp is an almost untouched and unvisited wilderness, and is a fantastic option for climbers who are confident that they acclimatize well.
