About the Tanzania Kilimanjaro Trek
Standing at an impressive 5,895 metres (19,340 feet) above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the African skyline looking down over the African plains. The challenge is to reach Uhuru Peak, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, following the much less trodden Lemosho Glades route. The Lemosho Trail to Uhuru Peak is said to be one of the most stunningly beautiful hikes in the whole of Africa. It is also considered the best and safest way to the summit due to the acclimatisation process on the mountain.
The Lemosho Trail consists of eight full days on the mountain, which will maximise your chances of sufficient acclimatisation in order to conquer the mighty peak. You will trek through near enough every eco system known to man. This is an exciting wilderness route to avoid overcrowding on the much more trodden Machame and Marangu routes (which are also shorter and therefore, provide less chance to acclimatise sufficiently).
