Day 7 Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route

This is it! The night and day you have been training and preparing for. 995m from Kosovo Camp to the summit of Kilimanjaro. We normally start around 1am it takes about 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours to reach the summit. We could do it quicker but you need to reserve energy for the most important descent.

Congratulations you have reached the summit of Kilimanjaro 5,895m and hopefully we can help you reach more of the 7 summits. Before we go there we have to get back down. We have to retrace our steps back to Kosovo Camp 4,900m which takes about 2 hours. You will take a break for a few hours and take a nap.

You will be tired but important to repack your bag and meet everyone for brunch and move to lower altitude. Around 11 or 11:30am we will start the 4+ hour journey back the mountain. The hike down to Mweaka Camp 3,100m is steep and challenging in places especially if it is raining. The last 2 hours down to Mweka Camp can be the hardest as you will be tired for a long night and day.

All in the summit attempt can be 12+ hours. With the right training, preparation, itinerary and team you can make it. Ian Taylor Trekking has 95% success rate on this Lemosho route itinerary. https://iantaylortrekking.com/trek-af...
