Lemosho-Shira via Crater Camp
Itinerary
The Remote Route
The Lemosho Route is normally climbed in seven to nine days. This route is a scenic ascent, with fewer climbers than other routes, featuring expansive, beautiful views of Kilimanjaro. The longer climb allows for greater acclimatization and as such, high summit success rates. This is Duma’s most popular route.
Duration: 8 Days
Season Range: January — December
Price Guide: Starting from $3,499 USD per person
Highlights:
Scenic, Great acclimatization, Less crowded, Duma's most popular route, Sleep near Kilimanjaro's summit!
