8-day trip: Climbing Kilimanjaro via the successful 8-day Lemosho Route

The Lemosho route is one of the most beautiful and unique routes to the summit. It starts on the western side of the mountain, is less crowded for a more secluded hiking experience and famous for its breathatking views throughout.

This route requires a decent level of fitness and is one of the more expensive ones. Also it takes a bit longer which is actually a good thing: this gives you the possibility to acclimatize properly which is also why it has the highest success rate.

So start preparing for the hike of your lifetime and for the picture you’ll be taking on the summit showing off your biggest smile 🙂
