The Best 7 Days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro hiking package
This 7 days Kilimanjaro climbing Lemosho route provides a perfect and best chance of reaching 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world; it is one of the seven summits. The snow-capped peak of Africa is a dormant volcano and can be found inside the Kilimanjaro National Park of Tanzania.
The minimum duration for the Lemosho route is 6 days, however, we strongly recommend hiking the route in 7 days. The additional 7th day will give your body more time to acclimatize, reducing the effects of altitude sickness and giving you more time to rest before attempting the summit.
Best time to visit Mount Kilimanjaro
You can climb Kilimanjaro at any time of the year. But we recommend climbing Kilimanjaro between mid-December and March, or between mid-June and October, to enjoy the best weather conditions.
