    The Lemosho Gate (approx. 2,100–2,300m) is the starting point for the scenic Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro's southwestern side. Known as the Lemosho Glades trailhead, it is a remote, forested area accessed by vehicle after initial registration at Londorosi Gate. It serves as a, check-in point where guides and porters finalize logistics before the hike begins.
  2. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Mti Mkubwa Camp, meaning "Big Tree Camp" in Swahili, is the standard first-night stop on Mount Kilimanjaro's scenic Lemosho Route. Situated at 2,650 meters (8,694 feet) within a lush, misty rainforest zone, it offers a tranquil, shaded, and vibrant, monkey-filled start to the climb. The site featuresbasic,,, communal tent camping under a canopy of massive trees, providing a comfortable,,,, sheltered,, environment to acclimatize.

    From the Shira Plateau, we continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the southeast towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth” (elev 4650m/15,250ft). 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 north-westerly and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek.
