Why this Route?
The Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route is the best ascent route but this offers the complete Kilimanjaro experience, more acclimatization time, more spectacular scenery and even a night in Kibo caldera. Note: this route ascends via Stella Point and NOT the Western Breach and is for that reason considered to be a safer route.
Description
Starting on the Western side of Kilimanjaro this ascent covers all of the most spectacular areas of Kilimanjaro. The trip is fully supported with spacious guest tents, mattress and pillow as well as a mess tent with lightweight tables and chairs and all cutlery. Our trips also include a toilet tent in camp and most importantly knowledgeable professional guides that go through bi-annual training. Our logistics team at our base monitors your trip from start to finish.
Highlights
THE MOST SCENIC KILIMANJARO ROUTE ! Lemosho ascent of Kilimanjaro, rain forest, Shira plateau, glacial valleys and alpine desert. Views of Mawenzi, ascent of Kibo and possible views of Kibo caldera and ash pit, glaciers and the roof of Africa!
