Highlights

The Lemosho Route commences on the western side of Kilimanjaro, providing breathtaking views of Mt Meru and Kenya’s Amboseli National Park plains. The first day entails a trek through a dense rainforest, which gradually thins out as you ascend. By day two, you can already spot the glistening summit of Kilimanjaro in the distance. On the third day, the route converges with the Machame Route, and a long, yet gratifying, journey lies ahead until you reach the summit. This 8-day trek includes an additional day, allowing you to acclimatize more effectively, thereby increasing your chances of reaching the peak. Throughout the trek, overnight accommodations will be in tents. • Trek will be led by a professional mountain guides. • Airport pickups/departure transfers provided. • Multiple nights accommodation included. • Beverages and high energy food supplied.
