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.
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.
The Marangu route is one of the most popular routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so, perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way, due to a shorter acclimatisation period.
The Marangu route does however offer you the option of spending an extra acclimatisation day on the mountain. This extends the route into a 6-day trek, greatly increasing your chances of success. This offer includes the 6 days trekking, and the trip will in total take 8 days including arrival and departure from Tanzania.
Shared hut accommodation on the Marangu route forms one of the main differences, compared to the other kilimanjaro routes. It offers you the relative luxury of being able to sleep in huts along the entire route. Mineral water, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are also sold at all the camps on this route. All your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all your meals.
This will be a climbing adventure of a lifetime. No previous mountaineering experience is needed. We will take care of your safety and make the utmost out of your trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro.
