8 Days Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route
Description
Introduction:
A few short years ago this was a seldom used route. Now Lemosho 8 days has become our most requested itinerary. It is popular for good reason since with 8 days the acclimatization is very good and it is a scenic, well designed route. We expect the newer, equally excellent Northern Circuit Route to reduce the number of trekkers that this route is attracting. This itinerary is offered as both a private trek and as an open group trek.
