Trek to the Roof of Africa via the less trodden route of Lemosho. Kilimanjaro, is the highest free standing peak on Earth where huge glaciers flow down from the summit. Our itinerary is designed to give you the best chance of reaching the summit with the most supportive and enthusiastic local guides and crew.
Kilimanjaro, situated south of the equator in Tanzania at 19,340 feet, (5895m), is the world’s highest ‘free standing’ mountain, where bright white glaciers flow down from the summit. It is made up of three volcanic cones that were formed by the Great Rift Valley – Shira (3,962m), Mawenzi (5,159m) and Kibo (5,895m).
Climbing Kilimanjaro is like walking from the equator to the North Pole in a week, providing dramatic changes in vegetation and animal life day by day. Your journey to the summit of Kibo will take you through 5 different climate zones 1. Rainforest 2. Heath 3. Mooreland 4. Alpine desert and 5. Arctic summit. Your carefully crafted 8-day trek will allow you plenty of time to acclimatise whilst soaking up this ever-changing scenery.
Local guides will accompany you every step of the way with their intoxicating energy, encouragement, smiles and their vast experience. Reaching the top of one of the famed Seven Summits, under the golden light of sunrise illuminating the glacier will be a memory of a lifetime. The feeling of exhilaration and immense level of pride will be all consuming as you marvel at the incredible views and be in awe of what you accomplished.
