Mount Kilimanjaro

Lemosho, Uhuru Peak and the wildlife of Tarangire.

The Lemosho Route on Kilimanjaro is highly demanding because of altitude, yet low in technical difficulty. Its gradual progression crosses montane forest, moorland, Alpine desert and glaciers, distributing the effort to support strong acclimatization before the night ascent to Uhuru Peak.
