HIGHLIGHTS
  • Trek Mount Kilimanjaro via the beautiful Lemosho Route
  • See the famed Barranco Wall and ascend to Uhuru Peak
  • Get a selfie at the summit of Africa's highest mountain
  • Re-energize and enjoy hot dinners at the tented camps
Lemosho is our personal first favorite! It is widely considered to be the most picturesque route on Kilimanjaro, and we hold the same opinion. The trek starts from the heath and moorland at 3,500 m, passes through alpine meadow, and finishes in the Arctic zone with the Peak Uhuru. High-altitude drop-off makes the climb less steep and, therefore, less physically challenging. Two very short treks on Day 1 and Day 2 involve little physical activity and you barely trek uphill, which means you need less oxygen and your body can spare resources.

Success rates on 7-day Lemosho are 94-95%.
