KILIMANJARO CLIMB - LEMOSHO ROUTE
The 8-day Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Kilinge Adventures specializes in guiding on the Lemosho route. Most of our clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. Thus, Lemosho is highly recommended.
The 8 days lemosho route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. Then the route traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu.
Descent is made via the Mweka route. Kilinge Adventures offers Lemosho as an eight day group climb or as a seven to eight day private climb. The seven day variation combines days five and six, going from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp without staying at Karanga. A nine day variation that includes an overnight at Crater Camp is available as a private climb by special request.

About Kilimanjaro 2 Days Marangu route
Embark on an express Kilimanjaro adventure with the 2-day Marangu Route tour. This route, also known as the "Coca-Cola" route, offers a relatively easier ascent compared to other options. Traverse through lush forests, captivating valleys, and picturesque landscapes as you make your way towards the summit. While the tour is shorter, it still requires stamina and determination to reach Uhuru Peak. Immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings, including the famous Kibo Crater and glaciers that adorn the mountain. Accompanied by experienced guides, this tour provides a memorable Kilimanjaro experience within a limited timeframe.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, specifically the Marangu Route, in just 2 days is extremely challenging and not recommended due to the altitude and physical demands of the climb. The Marangu Route typically takes 5-6 days to complete, allowing for proper acclimatization and increasing your chances of reaching the summit successfully.

BEST KILIMANJARO 5 DAYS UMBWE ROUTE CLIMB
The 5 Days Umbwe Route takes a direct path to the southern glaciers. The Umbwe Option is without question the most difficult and steepest way to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Due to the demanding stages, we recommend this route only for experienced alpinists. The direct route also unfortunately means that there is very little time for acclimatization.
The special feature of this ascent option is mainly in the first stage. On the very first day you will reach the Umbwe Cave Camp at an altitude of almost 3000 meters between high trees. From there it is only a short detour to visit the caves that give the camp its name. On the second hiking day the Umbwe Route merges with the Machame Route at Barranco Camp.

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - 5 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE
The Kilimanjaro Marangu route is often called the tourist route or Coca-Cola route and is both the easiest and the shortest way to the Uhuru summit. Even for tourist who are not fit enough in 5 days Marangu route climb can summit Kilimanjaro easily. It is also the oldest of the routes. The majority of all climbers choose this route because it is mostly easy walking on a well maintained path.
Unfortunately, this route also holds the sad record of the most aborted Kilimanjaro summit attempts. Mostly this is due to bad preparation and overestimation of one’s own abilities. If you show the necessary respect for the route, you will be rewarded with a varied ascent. The Marangu Option has fewer vantage points, as you walk for a long time through high vegetation.
On the other hand, it has the unique advantage of offering small mountain huts with toilets along the way – especially recommended during the rainy season. This route is usually completed in five or six days.
