For avid trekkers and seasoned adventurers, the Lemosho route stands out as the premium way to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. This 8-day trekking journey is especially favored for its outstanding acclimatization profile and sweeping vistas, including stops at Lava Tower, Barranco Camp, and Karanga Camp.

The Lemosho trek boasts the highest success rate among all 6-day routes, with about 80% of climbers reaching the summit. What truly differentiates this Kilimanjaro tour package is its harmonious combination of challenging adventure, spectacular scenery, and maximized chances for summiting, making it an exceptional choice for fit travelers seeking both excitement and achievement.

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.

Zara Tours leads treks up the unique Rongai Route known to be more scenic than the Marangu Route, easier than the Machame Route, and the success rate on the Rongai is very high. Unlike the Marangu Route where you sleep in huts, on the Rongai you sleep in tents (tents are included), and our porters will pitch your tent for you. Meals are served in a dinner tent or on a blanket outside.
The Kilimanjaro Rongai route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border, and is one of the least traveled routes. The Rongai route joins the Marangu route before the summit climb, then you descend the Marangu Route on the mountain's southeast side.

Join us on this seven-day, guided trip and reach the highest point in the African continent. The Machame route, also called the 'whiskey route', is one of the most popular routes used to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and our favourite as well. This route also has one of the highest summit success rates given the topography and nature of the route, which allows climbers to trek high and sleep low, hence making it a more favorable route for acclimatization.
In addition to higher chances of summit, the Machame route also offers some of the most spectacular scenery along the way to the top. It starts on the southwestern side of the mountain and proceeds steeply north, traversing the Shira Plateau and eventually joining Shira and Lemosho routes right after the Shira Cave Camp.
Although travelers can complete their journey to the top and back in six days using this route, adding a day more to the itinerary like we have done is recommended for the sake of acclimatisation.

Great logistics and beautifully laid out riding. Rigorous in the heat but doable for 70-year-old women. Good hotels and welcoming staff. Staff were punctual, informative and friendly. Beautiful riding along the coast and through villages. I would suggest a 2-night stay to enjoy the villages. Stop to smell the roses.

This was a great tour - the bikes were really well suited to the terrain. Accommodation was generally great. Navigation with Ride with GPS was really good. We liked that someone met us before we headed out and gave us a road book that we could review each evening before the next day's ride.

I've been wanting to do this trip for many years and it definitely did not disappoint. They made it so easy. All we had to do was show up ready. Everything else was already planned and waiting for us. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

We rode an unguided tour along the Danube from Passau, Germany to Vienna. We flew into and out of Vienna and took a train to Passau without incident. People were friendly, food was good, hotels were excellent. Each town we passed was old and worth seeing.

What a wonderful opportunity to see the Lighthouse Way. As an older solo hiker I wouldn't have attempted it but they made it possible. Thank you. When I wanted to make minor changes the team responded and supported the changes. It's now a happy memory. Again, thanks.

I highly recommend this bike tour. Touring the Mosel on bikes is a great way to immerse yourself in a beautiful part of German life. Most of the people we encountered on the bike path were Germans pedaling by the gorgeousness of the Mosel, sipping Weisswein at Weinhüttes by the river, or camping at one of the many exceptionally charming campgrounds along the way. The accommodations were all comfortable, the bike paths are well maintained and user-friendly, and as a healthy person who does not ride extensively - I was able to complete the journey without any concerns.
