If you are going to make a once in a lifetime commitment to climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world, you might as well enjoy as much of the mountain as you possibly can. Other routes such as the Marangu route ascends and descends via the same route meaning you miss the most stunning parts of Kilimanjaro. In our opinion of spending 20+ years on the mountain, the Lemosho Route is the best ascent route, it offers the complete Kilimanjaro experience, more acclimatization time, more culture, and more spectacular scenery. Ascending via Stella Point and NOT the Western Breach and is for that reason also considered to be a safer route.
An 8 day ascent to the roof of Africa. Starting at Lemosho on the Western side and traversing across the most spectacular parts of the mountain including the Shira plateau, Lava Tower, Barranco valley and up to the summit via Stella Point. Descent is via the Mweka route. As this is our flagship route our trips are fully supported with shower tent, spacious walk in guest tents, bed cots, and pillow as well as a mess tent with lightweight tables and chairs and all cutlery. Our trips also include a toilet tent in camp and most importantly knowledgeable professional guides that go through bi annual training. Our logistics team at our base monitors your trip from start to finish.
