Most people who fail on Kilimanjaro go up too fast. We take eight days on the mountain, through rainforest, moorland and desert, so the last night is one you remember for the stars rather than the headache.
The Lemosho Route starts in the forest on the western side of the mountain, crosses the Shira Plateau and circles under the southern glaciers before the summit climb from Barafu Camp.
Our camps have a dining tent, proper beds and a private toilet tent. It is the expedition we recommend to anyone starting out.
