Dreaming of conquering Africa’s highest peak? The "Kilimanjaro Climb - Lemosho Route" tour offers experienced adventurers an unparalleled trekking challenge, renowned as the most scenic path to the summit of Tanzania’s legendary mountain. Over 10 exhilarating days, this small group journey begins and ends in Arusha, guiding you through awe-inspiring locations like Londorossi, Shira Camp One, and Shira Hut, before reaching the iconic Uhuru Peak.
This strenuous trip is crafted for trekkers who relish both the challenge and the reward, with eight full days on the slopes—longer than most itineraries—to maximize acclimatization and increase summit success rates. What sets this tour package apart is its exceptional summit success: thanks to a ratio of one guide for every two climbers on summit day, your safety and support are top priorities. You’ll enjoy larger tents than standard Kilimanjaro treks, full porterage, and chef-prepared meals, ensuring a surprising level of comfort throughout your ascent.
Supporting responsible travel, this trek is part of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project, committed to improving porter welfare. Plus, for every booking, a donation is made to the Mountain Lioness Project, empowering local women. The "Kilimanjaro Climb - Lemosho Route" is the ultimate test of endurance and spirit—designed for experienced travelers seeking both challenge and purpose on their bucket-list African adventure.

The final ascent begins before dawn, rewarding climbers with an unforgettable sunrise over the East African plains. As a unique touch, every booking supports the Mountain Lioness Project, making your achievement even more impactful.

If the road less traveled calls to you, "Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route & Zanzibar Adventure" delivers a 14-day guided adventure that’s as scenic as it is challenging. Following the longer and more picturesque Lemosho route, you’ll summit Africa’s highest peak with the support of seasoned guides and porters, enjoying diverse landscapes and fewer crowds along the way.
After the climb, the journey continues with a change of pace in Zanzibar. Tour lush spice plantations, relax on postcard-perfect beaches, and recharge after your mountain achievement. This trip is designed for young adults and experienced trekkers ready for endurance and a touch of luxury at the end.
The unique selling point? A lesser-known, highly scenic ascent of Kilimanjaro paired with the ultimate island escape—ideal for those who want to push their limits and then savor the rewards.

The Lemosho route on Mount Kilimanjaro goes parallel to the lower part of the Shira Route. The trail on the Lemosho Route is unspoiled, secluded and a very beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. Above the plateau, you approach Kilimanjaro's great western Breach, then follow the south circuit to reach the easier Barafu Route. This is one of the few routes where an armed ranger will accompany us as there are still animals in the forest around the Lemosho Glades.
The Lemosho route will take 9 days in total. The route is the most scenic on the lower part as it goes directly through a rainforest area with wildlife. Later on, this route merges with the popular Machame route.
You can bring around 15 kgs of luggage for the trip. The porters will carry most of the 15 kgs, and you will yourself carry a small day-pack. As soon as you book with us, we will brief you further on luggage and trekking clothes.
At Zara Tours, we look forward to take you on a climb of a lifetime to Mount Kilimanjaro.

Johan W. | Traveled in May
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Country Roads of Belgium, Luxembourg & Netherlands tour. The itinerary was beautifully balanced between famous highlights and smaller hidden gems, and everything felt very well organised. We especially loved the charming towns, local culture and comfortable pace of the tour. Our travel director and driver were excellent and made the whole journey enjoyable and stress-free. It truly felt like a premium travel experience from start to finish. We came home with fantastic memories and would gladly travel with Insight Vacations again.

The itinerary was great and had so many experiences we would not have known to do on our own. So great to not worry about getting tickets to this or that. So much history and information was shared by the fantastic travel director we had and our driver was amazing. We felt safe and cared for. It was a dream vacation!
Anonymous | Traveled in May
The itinerary was excellent and had the flexibility for downtime when needed - especially as there were 3 instances where we stayed at wonderful locations and lodgings for 2 nights.
Normalee F. | Traveled in May
The only thought I had was that I would have liked one more day in Zion/Bryce. I felt like I would have liked to do a few of those suggested hikes.
