8 Days Lemosho Route.
The Lemosho route is one of the best routes and is adventurous while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Passing through the Shira plateau is the most beautiful thing. The Lemosho Kilimanjaro route just came up recently with the Tanzania tourism industry wanting tourism to explore the Mountain more. In the past not long ago, there was only Marangu and Machame but more routes are coming up. Lemosho can also be done in 6 days and 5 nights all inside the mountain but the best way for more exploration is done for 8 days which is most preferred by tour guides and the Tanzania tourism industry.
Trekking Itinerary.
Day 1: Nairobi – Moshi Tanzania.
Day 1 of the safari package will be a departure from Nairobi to Moshi in Tanzania passing through Arusha. So, pick up from your hotel or airport then depart for the safari to Tanzania through the Namanga border. At the border, you will have to go through the migration offices of Tanzania to be guaranteed a visa in Tanzania, have lunch at the border then proceed with the safari. Arrive in Moshi late in the evening and with an early arrival, we will have to visit the Londorossi gate to familiarize ourselves with the check-in and sign-up. Dinner and overnight will be in a hotel at Moshi.
Day 2: Londorossi – Mti Mkubwa camps.
The second day will be your 1st day of the trekking activity climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Wake up in the morning, have breakfast at the hotel then proceed to Londorossi gate to check in and sign for the porters. Make sure you carry personal belongings heavy clothes and extra clothes for yourself. The porters will only carry food and camps. Accompanied by our tour guide, you will start climbing Kilimanjaro and if there is a group, you will join them in hiking. The porters are a little bit faster because they are used to it and they have to climb faster to have already prepared lunch at Lunch points and dinner and the campsites. Hiking time will be 3 hours with steep climbing where the fast stop and campsite will be Mti Mkubwa campsite. The chef will prepare dinner and overnight will be spent at the camps.
Day 3: Mti Mkubwa – Shira camps.
The second day of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and still the hiking is still young. Wake up, have your morning breakfast then start ascending through the rainforest with the temperature beginning to rise. Hiking time will be 6 to 7 hours of climbing. Lunch will be served at one of the lunch points in the moorland zones. The next stop will be at Shira campsite where you will find already-made hot washing water, tents, and dinner.
Day 4: Shira – Lava Tower – Barranco Camps.
On 3rd day of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro will be moving from Shira campsite to Lava tower then ending at Barranco campsite with a trekking time of about 6 to 7 hours having climbed a distance of 11 km.

What our Guests say About Our Africa Safaris.
EXCELLENT Based on 36 reviews Aysha T2025-08-11Verified The best safari Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that is thanks to Daniel. He wasn’t just helpful, he was the heart of the entire trip. From start to finish, his kindness, patience, and deep knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes made every moment feel special. Honestly, this adventure wouldn’t have been possible without him. He knew exactly where to take us for the best sightings and shared fascinating stories that brought the wilderness to life.We stayed at Day Dream, and the name couldn’t be more fitting, it really did feel like a dream! The accommodations were top-notch, with breathtaking scenic views that greeted us every morning. The halal food was not only thoughtful for our needs but also delicious, fresh, and comforting after long days of exploring.Waking up to golden sunrises, watching herds of animals in their natural habitat, breathing in the crisp, wild air, it was pure magic. Every corner held a new surprise, from graceful giraffes to playful elephants, and Daniel ensured we experienced it all in the best way possible.If you’ve ever imagined yourself on a safari, this is exactly the kind of trip you should take, where every detail is cared for, every view takes your breath away, and every memory stays with you for a lifetime. Nabeel S2025-08-11Verified Daydreams for the win! Amazing experience with daydreams! They took care of everything for us and got us the best guide - Daniel. From start to finish they made sure everything was upto our expectation. jennyvarg2025-08-09Verified Just perfect Great package, car was excellent, driver very knowledgeable and we made unforgettable memories ( family of five). Thank you Thomas K2025-08-01Verified Good experience with Daydreams Safari We had a good time. Lawrence took good care of us. We had a good driver Jimmy. Stayed at Rhino camp at Masai Mara. Good people there. Room was reasonably good. Quality of water at wash room can be improved - water pressure need to be better and filtering of water need to be improved Ibtisam A2025-07-30Verified Amazing!!! Big 5 spotted Kennedy is absolutely amazing. He made sure that our safari excursions were done professionally and he personally checked in on us throughout the process to ensure that we are enjoying. I recommend you to book with Kennedy and have an amazing safari experience. Carlo P2025-06-28Verified An incredibile experience We had an amazing time with Daydream Safari. The trip was really well planned, and everything went smoothly from the beginning to the end.Kennedy was super helpful and kind while organizing everything, he always answered our questions quickly and clearly. It made us feel relaxed and excited even before the trip started.Our guide James was fantastic! He was really friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were happy. He listened to all our requests and made every effort to make the experience perfect for us. We truly appreciated his professionalism and positive attitude.We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and every place was unique and full of unforgettable moments. One of the highlights was watching lion cubs play, it felt like watching a wildlife documentary unfold right in front of us! We saw so many animals and learned so much, thanks to James.We’re really happy we chose Daydream Safari and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a special safari in Kenya. Semy K2025-04-30Verified Day trip in Nairobi national park We spent an amazing day with an amazing team in the national park of Nairobi ! Everything was perfect, I thank every one for this wonderful day !Thanks again, we’ll book again very soon ! Ashiq K2025-04-04Verified A memorable safari with the best team. Thanks for the amazing experince. You people made our safari a memorable one. You guys put a lot of effort to make sure that we saw all the animals. Sepcial thanks to Mr Kennedy and Samy for being very friendly and showing a lot of patience with us. Sajith Rahman Qatar2025-04-03Verified An Incredible Safari with the Best Team and Unmatched Hospitality Had an amazing safari with Day Dream Safari team! Kennady & Sami made sure our safari was a truly memorable experience, showing great patience and stopping whenever we needed to take photos and videos.We witnessed the Big 5, and they even took us to a special location outside our itinerary as a bonus. Their hospitality and service were exceptional, and the team treated us like family. Highly recommend!All the best Kennedy & Team 🤝 hunylac2024-09-22Verified The perfect family safari in Masai Mara We came to Kenya as family with our 4yrs old child + grandparents, so it was key to find a safari operator who considers the family preferences for a safari, while keeps costs at a reasonable level. That is why we were so glad that we found Kennedy and Daydream Safaris, who put together a great 4 day fly-in safari itinerary for us to Masai Mara in September 2024. It was indeed a once in a lifetime experince, that I can only recommend. Kennedy and his team were extremely helpful throughout the initial planning process, we had multiple calls, they answered and helped with many questions on what to expect and how to prepare to a Kenyan trip. They assigned an awesome driver/guide (Anthony) to us, who really had the mission to show as many animals as he could and he is the main reason why we not even seen the "BIG 5", but seem black rhino, lion cubs from very close!!! Overall we could not ask for anything more and we left Masai Mara with big smile on our faces. Thank you for these wonderful memories that will for sure last a lifetime! :)
