About Mti Mkubwa Camp (Big Tree Camp)
True to its name ("Big Tree" in Swahili), the camp is set in a clearing surrounded by massive, ancient trees draped in moss and ferns. The environment is humid, vibrant, and alive with the sounds of Colobus monkeys and exotic birds. Because the Lemosho Route starts at a higher elevation than others, the hike to Mti Mkubwa is typically shorter (2–3 hours), allowing trekkers to ease into the mountain atmosphere.

Everything You Need to Know
Will I see monkeys at Mti Mkubwa?
Yes, this camp is one of the best places to spot Blue Monkeys and the striking black-and-white Colobus monkeys in the canopy above.
Is it rainy at this camp?
Very likely. Being in the heart of the rainforest, afternoon showers and misty conditions are common. High-quality waterproof gear is essential here.
Are there any permanent buildings to sleep in?
No. Unlike the Marangu Route, all camps on the Lemosho Route—including Mti Mkubwa—require camping in tents.
How long is the hike from the Londorossi Gate to Mti Mkubwa?
It is a relatively short and gentle trek through the forest, usually taking between 2 and 3 hours.
