7-DAY TRIP: CLIMBING KILIMANJARO VIA THE 5-DAY MARANGU ROUTE WITH HUTS

The Lemosho route is the route with the highest success rate. In addition, this route offers a wonderful panoramic view of the beautiful landscape of West Kilimanjaro. In the second stage of this route, it joins the Machame route. On the way you will pass beautiful landscapes and landmarks such as the famous Barranco wall.
You can do the ascent via the Lemosho route in seven or eight days. The difference between the two routes: the 7-day tour starts at an altitude of 3,500 meters, the 8-day tour starts at an altitude of 2,200 meters. As the 8-day ascent begins at a lower altitude, you hike through the tropical rainforest on the first day. This is not the case for the 7-day ascent. Here you drive by car through the tropical rainforest and only hike through the tropical rainforest on your way back.

SHEDRAJIO SAFARIS OFFERS A UNIQUE SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE CLIMB

They take care of you during your ascent via the Marangu route, by checking your health twice a day and serving you delicious food. Sounds like a bit much? Not if you want to reach the top! Because we know that altitude sickness can creep up on you unnoticed and that proper nutrition* is essential to keep you going during a strenuous climb.
