About This Tour

Standing at 5,895 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and Africa's crown jewel. Our 9-day Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and has the highest success rates for reaching Uhuru Peak, thanks to its gradual acclimatization profile. You'll journey through lush rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and arctic summit zones, witnessing a stunning diversity of landscapes in a single trek. Our experienced mountain guides, porters, and camp staff ensure your safety and comfort throughout this extraordinary journey. Summit night begins around midnight, reaching the crater rim at sunrise for an ethereal experience above the clouds.
