MOUNT KILIMANJARO EXPEDITION:
Climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, the magnificent free
standing mountain in the world. Is a very rewarding experience of lifetime.
There
are six climbing routes to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro i.e. Marangu route
and Machame are the popular one Western side. There is Shira or Lemosho
route which take more days climbing and good for acclimatization. Normal
climb takes five to six days. But you can have more day as you wish for
acclimatization. It is 8 – 9 day for the western Lemosho – Shira route.
Umbwe routes (5 – 6) days. This route is for strongest climbers as it is
steep and tough.
