Overview
If your main goal is to stand on Uhuru Peak, this extended Lemosho trek is the itinerary we recommend most. The added time on the mountain makes a real difference to how well your body copes with altitude.
You start on the western flank and walk through forest, heath and moorland before joining the Machame trail around day three. From there, the longer schedule gives you more nights at steadily higher camps, so the height gain is spread out instead of squeezed together. That slow pattern is closely linked to summit success.
All camping gear is provided, and you sleep in tents throughout. We usually avoid planning this longer, more exposed route during the heaviest rains in November and from April to June.
Our altitude sickness guide explains why extra days help so much. Get in touch to book your extended Lemosho climb.
