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

“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
