Kilimanjaro Full-Moon Summit Trek: 11-Day Lemosho Route

Details

You're the VIP on this exclusive and curated adventure to Mt. Kilimanjaro's Uhuru Peak! Join NOW Outdoors for this once in a lifetime private guided trek to the highest point in Africa and one of the Seven Summits!

This is the trip you've been waiting for...
This is a premium adventure custom curated by NOW Outdoors with help from our incredible team in Tanzania. This trip has been years in the making and spots are extremely limited. Climbing Kilimanjaro (19,340') is an odyssey that weaves together physical endurance, mental resilience, and awe-inspiring landscapes. Here’s a glimpse into the adventure that awaits:

The Call
Imagine standing at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, its snow-capped summit piercing the sky. You lace up your boots, adjust your backpack, and take that first step. The journey begins.

Diverse Ecosystems
Kilimanjaro isn’t just a mountain, it’s a microcosm of ecosystems. As you ascend, you’ll traverse rainforests, alpine deserts, and glaciers. Each zone reveals unique flora and fauna—the ancient trees of the rainforest, the hardy mosses clinging to volcanic rocks, and the elusive Kilimanjaro tree hyrax.

Altitude and Acclimatization
The air thins as you climb. Altitude sickness lurks, but you’ve prepared. “Pole, pole,” the porters say - slowly, slowly. You heed their advice, savoring each breath. Hydration is your ally; water keeps you replenished.

The Summit Push
The final ascent to Uhuru Peak is both grueling and exhilarating. Headlamp on, you step into the darkness. Stars twinkle above as the world below fades away. As dawn breaks, you reach the summit, the Roof of Africa. Cheers and emotions mix with the icy wind. You’ve conquered Kilimanjaro.

Shared Triumphs
Along the way, you'll bond with fellow trekkers. It’s not a race; it’s a collective endeavor. You swap stories, cheer each other on, and celebrate small victories. The camaraderie is as vital as the summit itself.

Perspective Shift
From Uhuru Peak, the world unfolds. The sun rises and unveils a vast expanse of plains and distant horizons. You realize that this journey isn’t just about conquering a peak, it’s about discovering your own resilience, connecting with the world, and embracing the human spirit.

Difficulty
To ensure the safety and best experience for all, we're going to be quite selective for this trip. This is a challenging high-altitude adventure for experienced hikers and campers. Kilimanjaro weather can vary quite a bit from tropical storms at lower elevations to blizzard conditions near the summit. Participants must be comfortable camping and hiking in any weather conditions. We expect participants to be well organized, on their A-game, and ready to face every challenge with optimism.
