9 day Kili climb using the Lemosho route
Download details & itinerary here.
Soaring high above the African plains of Tanzania and Kenya stands the highest mountain on the African continent, Mount Kilimanjaro 19,340 ft. Our EMS Mount Kilimanjaro trip with a 5-day safari and cultural exploration gives you the best of what the area has to offer and will be the trip of a lifetime!
Many people come to Tanzania each year seeking the eternal snows of this very popular mountain. However, most people don’t realize that to reach those snows you have the chance to visit the widest display of ecological zones in the world. As you ascend the mountain you past though 5 different ecological zones and only 3 degrees from the equator! In 1848 when foreigners first discovered Mount Kilimanjaro Johannes Rebmann reported his findings of a snowcapped mountain in eastern equatorial Africa to the Royal Geographical Society in Britain, the experts didn’t believe him.
To give you the best possible opportunity for a successful hike and climb we will first spent a couple of days at the Karama Lodge so you can recover from the flight. While at the Karama Lodge we’ll head out for a full day of game viewing and a hike with local guides. This should get the blood moving and your bodies clock up to speed.
During the climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro, we will use the Lemosho route, which will connect to the Shira route then up to the summit from Barafu Camp. This specially designed EMS itinerary has a 98% rate of success. You didn’t come all this way not to summit! By using the Shira route we can spend more time getting to the summit (8 days), making your time on the mountain almost twice as long as other companies. You will find most companies don’t have a full day of rest during the beginning of your hike; we put an extra day at the Barranco Camp so that you can acclimatize before we start reaching the higher altitudes. We are one of the only companies that don’t have you hike all the way down to the Mweka Camp after you reach the summit. Instead, we end our summit day at the Millennium Camp, considered a better option than going the extra 4 hours down to the Mweka Camp.
So if you’re a fit, healthy and experienced hiker, explorer or mountaineer, this trip will be challenging, rewarding and an experience you’ll never forget.
