8 DAYS LEMOSHO TREK
Starting from $2,600 for private climbs
Trek overview
The Lemosho route is a favorite for climbers because it is beautiful and lets your body get used to the high altitude slowly. This route starts on the western side of the mountain, near the Shira Plateau. It takes a bit longer than some other routes, but that is a good thing because you will have a better chance of reaching the top, Uhuru Peak. Want an even more amazing adventure? You can also spend a night at the Kibo Crater Camp (extra cost, but totally worth it!).
