Mount Kilimanjaro 7 Days Trek
Description
Located in Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest mountain at about 5,895 meters (19,340 feet). It is the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, meaning it is not part of a mountain range. Also called a stratovolcano (a term for a very large volcano made of ash, lava and rock), Kilimanjaro is made up of three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. Kibo is the summit of the mountain and the tallest of the three volcanic formations. While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo is considered dormant and could possibly erupt again. Scientists estimate that the last time it erupted was 360,000 years ago. The highest point on Kibo’s crater rim is called Uhuru, the Swahili word for “freedom.”

We did the Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro with Wilderness Alternative Expedition, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The organization was excellent, especially considering everything was coordinated from Nairobi, Kenya. Logistics, timing, and communication were all handled smoothly, which allowed us to focus fully on the trek itself without stress. The quality of the trek was very high. The Lemosho Route is stunning, quiet, and well paced, and the team managed the itinerary perfectly to support acclimatization. You could tell this was not their first time on the mountain. Food was consistently impressive. Proper, well prepared meals served daily, with good portions and variety. Even at higher altitudes, the food remained fresh and well thought out, which really helped with energy and morale. The guides were professional, experienced, and supportive. They paid close attention to everyone in the group, constantly checking how we were feeling and adjusting the pace when needed. Their calm confidence made a big difference on summit night. Overall, this was a high quality Kilimanjaro experience delivered by a well organized and caring team. If you are looking for a professionally run Lemosho Route climb with great guides, good food, and strong logistics from Kenya, Wilderness Alternative Expedition comes highly recommended. We would absolutely climb with them again.
Thank you for choosing us and you are welcome to climb mount Kenya.
It was lovely climbing with Kenny’s company. I’m not the best writer, but I’m sure you’ll love it! Our guides’ names were Baraka and Ali, and we took the Lemosho route for 7 days. The best part of the experience was definitely the food; the whole team was always excited for mealtime. Baraka seemed to know so much about the mountain, and I would definitely recommend Wilderness Alternative Expedition. Kenny, thank you for organizing such a fantastic trip.
