For those that want to spend some time on the summit and in the crater on top of the mountain. This is the complete Kilimanjaro experience – more acclimatisation time, more culture, more spectacular scenery and a less arduous summit bid.
Description
A 9 day ascent to the roof of Africa. Starting at Lemosho on the western side and traversing across the most spectacular parts of the mountain, this is the ultimate Kilimanjaro trip. It follows the same route as the 8 day Lemosho Route but summits the mountain during the day with more time spent in the crater.
Highlights
West Kilimanjaro! afromontane forest, Shira plateau, glacial valleys and alpine desert, views of Mawenzi. An ascent of Kibo with options to explore the summit caldera and ash pit, glaciers and the roof of Africa!
Make it more memorable by combining your adventure with a SAfari and a trip to Zanzibar
