Do you recommend the 7-day Lemosho Route?

We recommend the 7-day Lemosho Route if you prefer to experience most of Kilimanjaro’s scenic highlights, don’t mind sharing your climb with others, and are confident of your ability to walk almost an entire day without wearing yourself out. If that’s the case, the 7-day Lemosho Route will be preferable to the shorter and easier 7-day Machame Route as you ascend over a longer distance during your first two days (hence slower altitude increase) and it’s less busy at the start. Ideally, however, we’d recommend extending your climb by another day to improve your acclimatization to the high altitude, making the 8-day Lemosho Route a more manageable alternative with an even higher summit success chance.
