Overview

The Mount Kilimanjaro Lemosho Trek Tour is widely regarded as the most scenic, best-acclimatised, and highest success-rate route to the summit of Africa’s tallest mountain, located in Tanzania.

Ideal for trekkers seeking both challenge and comfort, this 10-day itinerary allows gradual altitude gain, increasing the chances of reaching Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) safely and successfully by Cholan Tours. Your journey begins in Moshi, where you prepare for the climb before entering Kilimanjaro National Park via the remote Lemosho Gate.

The trek traverses lush rainforest, expansive moorlands, alpine deserts, and glacial landscapes, offering unmatched views of Mount Kibo, Shira Plateau, and the Western Breach. Strategic acclimatisation days, including the ascent to Lava Tower followed by descent to Barranco Camp, allow your body to adapt naturally to altitude.

Highlights include climbing the iconic Barranco Wall, camping beneath towering glaciers, and a midnight ascent from Barafu Camp to reach the summit at sunrise. Standing atop Uhuru Peak, you’ll witness one of the most spectacular sunrises on Earth, an achievement few ever experience.

The descent through the Mweka Route offers lush scenery and a sense of accomplishment, culminating in certification and celebration in Moshi. This trek is perfect for adventure travellers, bucket-list climbers, and serious hikers seeking a professionally guided, safety-focused, and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience.
