Kilimanjaro - an Honest Guide Up the Mountain - Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Lemosho Route

Our unfiltered experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Lemosho Route.

Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha/Moshi, Tanzania, Africa.

About 2.5 hours out of Arusha, Tanzania, is the start of the Lemosho Route - Londorossi Gate.
A dream come true for us climbing Africa's highest mountain and the tallest free standing mountain in the world at 5,895M a.m.s.l.

We took the Lemosho Route over 8 days, for the superior scenery and ability to acclimatise to the altitude a little easier. It rained almost every day, but it was worth every single wet sock, soaked pair of underwear, drenched pants and souls! This is by far our proudest moment on any trek so far and we are so excited to be able to share our journey up the mountain with you.

Quick Trail Facts-
Total Distance - 64.9km (approx)
Time - 8 days / 7 nights
Start - Londorossi Gate
Finish - Mweka gate
Highest Altitude - 5,895M a.m.s.l

We went with ClimbingKilimanjaro.com and could not have been happier. Their guides are incredibly experienced and profoundly hard working, doing absolutely everything in their power to make your climb the best experience possible. Our head guides Fred (Who has climbed Kili over 1,000 times!) and Bareki were so knowledgeable and understanding of not only the mountain, but also our needs whilst climbing, which made this dream of ours even better!
A truly life changing experience I hope everyone gets the opportunity to summit this beautiful mountain.
There is a bunch of technical questions that we had before we left so as always, please throw any questions you have in the comments and we will be more than happy to share any and all knowledge we have!

Next we're off to witness some of the most beautiful animals Africa has to offer and immerse ourselves in East African wilderness!
