Lemosho Route
Tanzania
17-23 August 2022

Made it to the roof of Africa safe and sound by going pole pole (slowly, slowly in Swahili). Thank you Lord for making this dream come true. 3 years in the making because of COVID19. Thank you po sa mga boss ko for approving my VL. 😁 Thank you sa mga kasamahan sa "Kilusang Kilimanjaro" (Supremo Fherdz, Ka Lei, Efren, Jg, Ms. Annelie) and our new found friend Marie sa napakasayang ahon. 🤣🤣 And lastly, thank you for our amazing Tanzanian friends (Hans Denis Simon, Godofrey, Coleman, David and the rest of the crew) for making our Mt. Kilimanjaro adventure memorable and wonderfu! Asante sana. ❤️ Hakuna Matata.

Day 0 - 13-16 August 2022
Manila to Bangkok to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Moshi, Tanzania. Pre-climb meetings and walking tour in Moshi.

Day 1- 17 Aug 2022
Moshi to Lemosho Gate to Mti Mkubwa Camp (2,650 masl)
Started our trek around 3pm. Chill trek to mossy (but dry) forest. We went pole pole (slowly slowly in Swahili) to help us acclimatize.

Day 2 - 18 August 2022
Mti Mkubwa to Shira II Camp (3850 masl)
2nd longest and toughest day (10 hrs trek including lunch break. Its moorland and its really dusty. Felt a mild headache, good thing ibuprofen is effective on me.

Day 3 - 19 Aug 2022
Shira II Camp to Baranco Camp (3,900 masl)
Semi dessert trail and rolling hills. Hardest part was climbing the Lava Tower (4600 masl) where we had our lunch. Climb high sleep low for that day.

Day 4 - 20 Aug 2022
Baranco to Karanga (3,995 masl)
We thought climbing Baranco wall will be hard but our very own Mt. Guiting-guiting is harder than it.

Day 5 - 21 Aug 2022
Karanga to Barafu (4,673 masl)
Chill rolling hike. We arrived at the camp by lunch time to rest for midnight summit attempt.

Day 6 - 22 Aug 2022
Barafu to Uhuru (5895 masl) to Millennium Camp (3950 masl)
Toughest and longest day of this trek (14 hrs for 19 km ). I feel so sleepy on the first part of the hike and also freezing. But thankful that I did not experience altitude sicknese

Day 7 - Aug 23 - Millennium Camp to Mweka Gate
Ganda ng mossy forest and sea of clouds.
