Take part in this once in a life-time trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5896m Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa.
The stunning trek to the summit will be via the quieter Lemosho Route, which affords plenty of time to acclimatise to the high altitude. Experienced mountain guides will lead you through the Lemosho Glades and up through pristine rainforest full of exotic flora and fauna. Ascending further sees the scenery change to barren lunar type landscapes as you trek across the Shira Plateau. The route will take you via the southern flank of the mountain on the Barranco Wall. Summiting Uhuru Peak is achieved after trekking across scree and boulder strewn slopes and ice covered glacial landscapes.
