Mt Kilimanjaro Group Climb via Lemosho route (10 days)

Mt Kilimanjaro Group Climb via Lemosho route (10 days)

This is an open group mountaineering to the summit of Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Upon arrival to JRO international airport, you will be picked up and transferred to a lodge where you will rest and prepare for the climb on the next day.

The Lemosho route is among the very unfrequented route. During your climb, you will spend a night in the crater which is a good way to acclimatize and increase your chances of a successfully summiting.

You will climb the mountain and descend back in a total of 8 days and you will spend 2 nights at a lodge (1 night before the climb and 1 night after the climb). This will maximize your chances of summiting as you will have a more spaced out itinerary compared to our other ascents.

Note : Time and Camping place can be modified according to the clients, weather and reaction to altitude.
