Shortly after the tower we come to the second junction which goes to the Arrow Glacier. We now continue down to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.

Day 5: Barafu Camp to Summit to Mweka Camp Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point, you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit. From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa! From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. We arrive at Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the mountain.

Lemosho route with kwesa
We had a great time with kwesa in the mountains. The guides Haji and bryson have tonnes of experiences. Our cook also prepared us delicious meals everyday. Kwesa is always flexible and always try to accommodate our requests.

An amazing experience
This was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The guides were fantastic and we were looked after so well. From minute one, we felt in good hands. This is not just practicality, it’s about mental strength to reach the peak and you can’t underestimate how much of that is provided by the guides. This is an excellent option if you really want to get the best out of yourself. Just to note, tipping is not cheap but is expected, and it’s emphasised a lot. This is quite normal for these experiences, but it’s not make clear until you arrive, which is should be for sure. A daily rate for each guide and porter is expected. Overall a wonderful experience!

Amazing Kilimanjaro Plus Safari
We did Kilimanjaro with Edward the director KWESA via the Lemosho route followed by 2 days of safari in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and I have to give 10/10 for perfect organization and execution. The trek was tough but we had an experienced crew who guided and kept us safe. They accommodated our speed and physical ability to what we could attain within comfort. We managed to do the trek in 7 days allowing for 2 days which we went on safari. I have to commend Edward for the premium class service and not cutting any corners to save a buck, It was all excellent!

Excellent Trek
The trek was awesome, and this can be attributed to the perfect planning by Edward the director KWESA, matching of an excellent crew of 2 guides, six porters and cook Fred who were all awesome and went above and beyond to keep us safe and comfortable. We also have very good quality of equipment which kept us dry, warm and in the best conditions. The views are amazing particularly after the Baranco wall when you can see the summit and as the weather was great. The food was exceptionally nice as Fred made really good meals. I loved everything about the trek and will give KWESA 100% for excellence.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) cost?
+
Prices start at $2432 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Kilimanjaro climb by Lemosho Route (7-day), Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
