Safari summary

Welcome to the ultimate adventure, an 8-day Mount Kilimanjaro trekking Tour via the Lemosho Route! We are thrilled to take you on this 8-day remarkable journey to the Roof of Africa. Kilimanjaro is a world-renowned destination for avid trekkers and nature enthusiasts, and the Lemosho Route offers an exceptional experience, with its breathtaking landscapes and a slower, more acclimatization-friendly ascent.

The 8-Day Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route trekking tour is the best way to go. It breaks down the journey from Barranco to Barafu into two days. This helps because the big summit day starts very early, around midnight. So, trekkers are usually tired. But with a short day before the summit day, climbers can rest up better.

Lemosho Route has a very good success rate with a high chances of reaching the summit when you take your time. With 8 days on the mountain, your chances of reaching the top are as high as 90%.
