Compare 8-day Lemosho tours & realize a 92% Kilimanjaro summit guarantee when you hike this 8-day Lemosho route itinerary. This especially applies if you’re under 40 years old and have no experience hiking at high altitudes.
The Lemosho route is one of Mount Kilimanjaro’s newest trails, and it avoids crowds on the first ascent. This provides visitors a few days of peaceful trekking to take in the stunning scenery before the track joins the Machame route.
If this is your first-time hiking at high elevations (above 3,000m/9,900ft), you should know that the most effective way to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is to properly acclimatize during your hike. Long and gradual routes like the 8-day Lemosho route are perfect for acclimatization systems to be utilized. See, on Kilimanjaro, there are 2 systems that prevent altitude sickness:
- The first method, Pole Pole (Slow-Slow in English), requires you to be on the mountain long enough for your body to acclimate to various altitudes.
- The second method, Trek-High & Sleep-Low, calls for trails to have gradual inclines in order for hikers to trek to high elevations and sleep at lower altitudes. This method conditions your body to anticipate elevation changes while helping you adjust during your sleep.
Unless you find yourself between the ages of 12 and 40, you should seriously consider trekking the 9-day Northern Circuit program. This will give you ample time to adjust to elevation changes and will make for a much better hiking experience. The 9-day variation, unlike the 8-day hike, performs extremely well with hikers that are above 40 years of age.
