Kilimanjaro Climb - Lemosho Route

On this adventure, we spend seven nights camping in three-person tents and two nights in a hotel.



Arusha: Moivaro Coffee Plantation Lodge (nights 1 and 9)







Before and after our time on Kilimanjaro, we stay at the Moivaro Coffee Plantation Lodge. In a peaceful setting just outside Arusha, this property has 40 spacious thatched cottages dotted throughout a beautiful garden overlooked by Mount Meru. There's also an excellent restaurant serving African and international dishes, a bar and a swimming pool. It is also possible to book a massage for when you return from the trek.



Kilimanjaro: Full-service camping (nights 2-8)







Although conditions are basic on the mountain, the camping we experience is one of the best available on the Lemosho Route. We sleep in Vango Halo Pro 300 tents regardless of whether you have made a twin-share or single supplement booking. These are spacious three-person tents that are ideal for the conditions on Kilimanjaro. Our camp life is about as comfortable as it gets on Kili, with a communal mess tent, where we gather as a group and eat breakfast and dinner, and a private toilet tent. We also ensure there is a bowl of hot washing water for you in the morning and again after the walk at an agreed time in the afternoon. The only exception is the highest camp where there is no water source.



Worth knowing



The campsites on Kilimanjaro are designated by the national park and are mainly stone/dirt. They are not all level and can be crowded in peak season.

Handwashing water, treated with Dettol, is available along with soap before all meals, and everyone is strongly advised to make use of it.

The toilet tent has toilet paper within it, but we recommend that you bring your own toilet paper and wet wipes.

All camping equipment is provided except for sleeping bags, sleeping mats and pillows.
