Overview

For this journey, the eight-day Lemosho route variant is the best itinerary. On the 8-day Lemosho route, the journey from Barranco to Barafu is split into two days, allowing for a quick day shortly before the summit attempt. This is critical since climbers will be sleep deprived on summit day, which starts at a fairly early hour of approximately midnight. Climbers can be better rested if they have a short day before.

The eight-day Lemosho trek on Mount Kilimanjaro has a detailed daily schedule provided below.
