A trek to summit Kilimanjaro following the beautiful and quiet Lemosho route
We trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak (5895m), the highest point in Africa. Following the little-used Lemosho route we climb and descend on different paths, walking through the mountain’s different climatic regions and admiring the changing plant and animal life. Highlights include the ice fi elds of Kibo, the daunting Barranco Wall and the breathtaking views from the summit itself.
