Understanding the trip duration
For our six main Kilimanjaro route packages, the title states the number of days on the mountain. Allow additional time for arrival, your pre-climb briefing and the final airport transfer. Your confirmed itinerary lists these travel days and specifies the hotel nights and transfers included in your quotation.

Overview
The Lemosho Route begins on Kilimanjaro’s quieter western side and is valued for its scenery, varied terrain and gradual approach to altitude. It crosses the Shira Plateau before joining the southern circuit toward Lava Tower, Barranco, Karanga and Barafu. This complete ten-day programme includes airport arrival, eight trekking days and your final airport transfer. Altitude affects people differently regardless of fitness, so moving slowly and communicating honestly with the guide are essential.
