Kilimanjaro is one of the famous Seven Summits that every mountaineer has to climb at least once in their lifetime. At 19,341ft (5,895m) above sea level, this approximately 2.5 million-year-old dormant volcano is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. It boasts spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife, and jaw-dropping vistas, as well as several routes of various difficulty, each more beautiful than the last. The scenic and less frequented Lemosho route takes you through awe-inspiring scenery—everything from lush rainforests to beautiful plateaus and ancient glaciers on a volcanic crater rim. Crowned in ice and standing tall, Kilimanjaro might be a fearsome sight to behold. Still, the safe trails and plenty of days for accommodation significantly increase your chances for a successful summit, while the spectacular views make it all worth it! Follow the Lemosho route and proudly stand on top of one of the best trekking destinations in the world!
