8-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Lemosho Route

Widely regarded as the most beautiful approach to Kilimanjaro, the Lemosho Route starts on the quiet western side at Londorossi Gate and crosses rainforest, the Shira Plateau and the famous Barranco Wall scramble before summit night to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m. The 8-day profile gives one of the strongest acclimatisation schedules on the mountain, with a 95%+ summit success rate and fewer crowds than Machame or Marangu. Your climb is led by a licensed mountain guide with assistant guides at a 1:2 ratio, porters and a cook, with 4-season tents, portable toilet, pulse oximeter checks and all meals on the mountain. Two hotel nights in Moshi before and after the climb, plus airport transfers, are included. Good fitness is recommended; no technical climbing skills are needed.

Kilimanjaro Climb - Marangu Route | 7 Days

The Marangu route and this has led potential climbers to think that it is an easy route to the summit. The fact that it requires a minimum of 6 days to complete it does not mean that it is easier than any other route. The only reason that people say it is easier is because it is the only route up Kilimanjaro where you sleep in huts as opposed to tents. An optional acclimatization day at Horombo Huts is highly recommended for those with no prior trekking in altitude experience under their belt. Advance booking of hut accommodation is required to avoid any inconveniences. The route starts from the park headquarters in the village of Marangu and heads straight westwards towards Kibo. The trail goes through lush rainforest, heath and moorland to alpine desert and ultimately the arctic zone at the peak and same route down.
