Mount
Kilimanjaro - The Lemosho Trail
|
 |
Join
this fantastic trek to the Roof of Africa!!
Standing
at an impressive 5,895m over the African plains, Mt
Kilimanjaro is one of Africa’s best
sights and on reaching the summit of Uruhu Peak, well;
you will
have justreached the summit of the World's highest
free-standing mountain and also one of the
Worlds Seven Highest
Summits.
This challenging trek follows the much less
trodden Lemosho Glades route and is said to be one
of the most stunningly beautiful hikes in Africa.
Our Lemosho Trail Challenge consists
of 8 days on the mountain, which will maximise your
chances of acclimatisation and also conquering this
mighty peak, and following this particular Trail has
to be one the best ways to summit.
Starting in the
rainforest of the Lemosho Glades, to the west of the
mountain, we then push up across the Shira Plateau
making our way towards the Karanga Valley, and then
up and up towards our goal – Uruhu Peak.
You will
trek through near enough every eco-system known to
man – this is a very
exciting wilderness route which is being used to avoid
overcrowding on the more trodden Machame Route.
We’re
sure this Challenge will leave you with an amazing
sense of accomplishment – so, don your trekking
boots and join us on this ultimate trek of a lifetime!
