Tours Overview

8 Days Lemosho route climb is the best route for Kilimanjaro climbing Adventure. Lemosho Route is preferred by reputable operators due to beauty, remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall.
The 8-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho route climb is the best for acclimatization. This remote area is less used and a beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau.
The minimum duration for the Lemosho route is 6 days. However, we strongly recommend hiking the route in 8 days. The additional eighth day will give your body more time to acclimate, reducing the effects of altitude sickness and giving you more time to rest before attempting the summit.
