The Lemosho trail, or route in Kilimanjaro

The Lemosho trail in Kilimanjaro

The Lemosho trail, or route in Kilimanjaro, gets you west of Mount Kilimanjaro, and it’s through the woodland, so you’ll see a lot of plant species and wildlife. Along the trip, you’ll probably see colobus monkeys, a lot of birds, and goliath camphorwood trees. This course takes 8 days to complete. Hence, each additional day leads to an increase in costs; yet, the course has a good chance of succeeding. It provided an unparalleled and unique perspective of the valleys of Mount Kilimanjaro’s west flank.

It’s the primary course on the northern section of the mountain; it’s along the northern slopes that tend to be drier and thus have fewer landscapes yet can offer a fair perspective of Kilimanjaro. It also provides actual fierce encounters in the early stages, and there is a chance to view wild animals such as impalas, bison, and elephants. Using this course, reaching the highest point takes 7 days. Rongai is the least crowded and calmest route to the summit.

Machame’s trail in Kilimanajaro; The track is the most difficult, with a lot of highs and lows, lots of valleys and edges en route, but with fantastic views because it has a lot of natural settings en route, such as espresso farms and massive banana trees. It is less modest than the Marangu circuit and more difficult to climb.

This trail is notably depicted as having a high elevation near the beginning, so its odds of coming out on top are somewhat low. One will confront the true height on the first day of the ascent. Because it is located on the west side of Mount Kilimanjaro, the additional car expense makes the shira route expensive. Starting from the first day of the Shira route is not the same as other courses. The drives benefit you and are close to where the climbing begins. On the odd chance that one opts to walk, it can take as long as a few days before the climbing begins. This course is also for people who are confident in their climbing ability.

The northern circuit: This is the newest patch on the mountain’s north side, and it offers the best acclimatization as well as a spectacular view of Kilimanjaro. The route is less used and intended for those who enjoy long treks and authentic wilderness experiences.

Umbwe route meets the Machame route

Hike Mountain Kilimanjaro using Umbwe route 

On the next evening, the Umbwe route meets the Machame route at the Barraco camp. As it is a more difficult track, it is immediately steep and incredibly intense. It’s the most difficult course because the first and second days are dangerous and uphill as far as possible. Because the course is quite exposed, it is not suitable for people who are afraid of heights. The training is not recommended unless you have a strong interest in hiking.

The Marangu circuit is the least strenuous of all and contains step-by-step slants on climbing the summit, with the basic days for climbing ranging from five to seven days to the highest point. It’s the busiest course since many people enjoy it because it’s simple, so it’s more crowded than other courses. The course has the least view and is primarily used during the rainy seasons because it provides a wonderful haven of cabins in addition to the very damp grounds. The possible course uses one route while promising down and then becomes extremely mobbed. It is the least expensive course because it does not involve the installation of camp hardware. It is the path from the lowest point to the highest position along these lines. 

The pride of being on Africa’s highest peak is like having the entire continent on your feet as you reach the summit. You can feel exhausted, but the feeling of joyous relief and the view of Africa from the top, feeling the clouds around you, is another great accomplishment that anyone will want to have. Take a challenge today and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania’s and Africa’s pride.
