Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro | Lemosho Route

There are multiple different routes up Kilimanjaro. Some are (relatively) quick and direct. Some are longer and more scenic. Some are better than others for acclimatization to altitude.

The Lemosho Route is one of the longer and more scenic ones. It's also a good one for acclimatization. You can find more information about it here.

Climbing Kilimanjaro

We’ve made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. 19,341 feet. We’re on top of Africa, far above the clouds. And though we’re right next to the equator, it’s very, very cold and there are thick ice glaciers.
