After Londorossi, we have a short drive to the start-point of today’s walk. Today our walking time will be less than 6km, but with an expected 3 to 4 hours of walking time.
Our approach to the mountain using the Lemosho Route is from the west and some people say this provides the very best views of Kilimanjaro. Our walk, steadily upwards, is a wonderful experience, with fantastic forest and some really colourful flowers. Mti Mkubwa Camp 2895 meters (‘Big Tree Camp’) is normally reached by 18.00 and dinner is served at 19.30.

Today, the trees of our first day’s walk thin out, and we eventually leave the forest environment behind as we move onto the moorland.

After lunch walking is steep, but then flattens and with the snow-topped Kibo ahead of you, you actually descend slightly to the Shira 1 Camp 3505 meters.
