The trail gradually ascends to Mti Mkubwa Camp, which lies at an altitude of around 2,750 meters. The name “Mti Mkubwa” translates to “Big Tree,” referencing the massive trees that characterize this area. It’s a relatively short day, offering trekkers a gentle introduction to the mountain’s diverse ecosystems, with a peaceful atmosphere ideal for acclimatization and relaxation on the first night.

From Mti Mkubwa, trekkers continue their ascent through the forest zone and begin to enter the heath and moorland regions, with the trail offering stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. The path gradually climbs to Shira 1 Camp (approximately 3,600 meters), which is set in a plateau-like area near the Shira Ridge. This camp is often the first place where trekkers begin to experience the vast, open landscapes of Kilimanjaro, with views of the Shira Plateau and the looming peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The trek from Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower, and then descending to Barranco Camp, is an important and challenging section of the Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, often referred to as the “climb high, sleep low” strategy to aid acclimatization.

After spending some time at Lava Tower, you begin the descent toward Barranco Camp (3,960 meters), which is a challenging part of the trek. The descent is steep but necessary for acclimatization, as it helps to avoid altitude sickness by allowing trekkers to “climb high, sleep low.” The trail descends through a valley with scenic views and a variety of landscapes, from rocky terrain

The wall is not technically difficult but can be physically demanding, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape as you climb.

Once at the top of the Barranco Wall, the trail levels out briefly, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and the majestic peak of Kilimanjaro. From here, the trek continues through rocky terrain and alpine meadows as you make your way toward Karanga Camp (approximately 4,000 meters).

The trek from Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp is an important leg of the Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, as it brings trekkers closer to the summit. This section typically takes around 4-5 hours, covering a distance of approximately 6 kilometers.

The trail begins with a steady climb through alpine desert terrain, with rocky paths and sparse vegetation. As you ascend, the landscape becomes more barren and windswept, offering dramatic views of the surrounding valleys and the towering summit of Kilimanjaro.
