ROSHNI LODIHA

We’ve perfected the climb to the celebrated “snows of

Kilimanjaro” on the stunning Lemosho-Crater Camp

Route, a beautiful, uncrowded trail on Kili’s remote

southwest flanks. With seven days

on the ascent for maximum altitude

acclimatization, you’ll have the best

chance of peak success—plus just a

short climb to the summit to view

the sunrise (not the grueling 9-hour

climb in the dark required on other

routes!). On our route, we also have

the opportunity to hike right to the

rim of Kili’s astonishing inner crater,

a surreal moonscape. Our camps

have the finest amenities on the mountain, and for extra

security we always carry oxygen and a Gamow bag. Our

legendary, highly skilled guides and crew bring experience,

camaraderie, and fun to your climb.

Days 1-2

Arusha National Park / Acclimatization

Enjoy a

game drive en route to our private camp at 6,500 feet in lush

Arusha National Park and an acclimatization hike to look for

bushbuck, giraffe, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and a

host of avian life.

Days 3-11

Kilimanjaro / Lemosho-Crater Camp Route /

Summit Day

From the Lemosho trailhead, we hike up

through fascinating forest, heath, and moorland zones to

the rim of the Shira Plateau, an immense crater and World

Heritage Site with glorious views of Kili’s glaciated southern

face. Ascending higher through the alpine desert zone, we

reach our Crater Camp (18,500'), an extraordinary spot by

Climb Kilimanjaro!

TREK TO THE SUMMIT OF AFRICA’S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN

“The climb could not

have been better—the

team was fantastic and

the location of the

campsites allowed us

to make the summit

without difficulty. A truly

memorable time.”

• Climb with the experts on Kilimanjaro—we have over 25 years

of experience

• Our stunning Lemosho-Crater Camp Route is the best route,

away from crowded trails, with no retracing of steps, and with

magnificent glacier and crater scenery

• We do not summit Kili from Barafu (15,311'), as most other

companies do. Our route avoids this crowded and bleak camp,

allowing you a short summit day!

• Maximum acclimatization (the key to a successful climb) with a

full 7 days on the ascent. We have a 98% summit success rate!

• Summit day is a short and spectacular 2-hour ascent, avoiding

the 9-hour climb on other routes

• Full-service camp amenities, delicious and nutritious food,

full porter support
