Mount Kilimanjaro Climb via Lemosho Route: 7 Days

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Looking for a Kilimanjaro climb that offers both solitude and stunning vistas? The 'Mount Kilimanjaro Climb via Lemosho Route: 7 Days' trip is your gateway to Africa’s highest peak via one of its most scenic and less-traveled routes. This private guided expedition begins with a pickup in Moshi, including a pre-tour night’s accommodation for a seamless start. Hike through lush rainforest to reach Shira Ridge, then cross the expansive Shira Plateau—unlike the popular Machame Route, Lemosho lets you traverse the entire plain from west to east, providing panoramic mountain views at every stage. From there, ascend via the southern circuit, passing Lava Tower, Barranco, and Barafu camps before reaching the summit. The unique selling point of this tour package is the combination of lower foot traffic and breathtaking scenery, maximizing your chances of summit success while offering a more peaceful wilderness experience. All logistics, transport, and expert guidance are included, ensuring you can focus on the journey and the achievement of reaching Kilimanjaro’s peak.

Kilimanjaro - Machame Route

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Challenge yourself on Africa’s highest peak with the Kilimanjaro - Machame Route, also known as the "Whiskey Route." This popular ascent is renowned for its varied, breathtaking scenery and steeper trails, making it a favorite among adventurous trekkers with some hiking experience. Starting from Moshi, your journey includes a detailed trek briefing and equipment check before you set off into Kilimanjaro’s diverse landscapes. The Machame Route approaches from the southwest, crossing the Shira Plateau and offering an exhilarating scramble up the Lava Tower and a memorable climb up the Barranco Wall. Descending via the Mweka Route, trekkers are rewarded with ever-changing vistas and the thrill of traversing Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field. Nights are spent in supplied tents at designated camps, with meals prepared by expert staff. One of the route’s key advantages is its strategic "climb high, sleep low" approach, which aids acclimatization and increases summit success rates. For those seeking an alternative challenge, the Western Breach provides an even more demanding path to the top. The Machame Route’s unique selling point is its combination of scenic beauty and acclimatization-friendly itinerary, making it one of the most successful and visually rewarding routes to the summit.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro 6-day Marangu Route

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Step onto the legendary Marangu Route—famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route—for a classic 6-day Kilimanjaro trek. Renowned as the oldest and most established path to Africa’s summit, Marangu’s gradual slopes and hut accommodations make it one of the most accessible options for experienced travelers seeking a less technical climb. While the route’s ascent and descent follow the same trail, its popularity peaks during the rainy season, when dry huts offer a welcome respite from wet ground. Although scenic variety is more limited compared to other routes, the ease of the path and shared dormitory-style huts are significant draws. For those with limited time, the minimum five-day requirement offers a swift yet rewarding ascent, with the option to add an extra day for better acclimatization. The route’s unique selling point is its combination of comfort and accessibility, making it a favored choice for climbers who value tradition and convenience on their Kilimanjaro adventure.
