  About the Western Breach

  The Western Breach is a steep and rocky approach to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This route is more technical than others and requires scrambling over large boulders. It’s a demanding part of the climb, suitable for more experienced hikers. The Western Breach offers the benefit of solitude, fewer climbers, and a direct path to the summit through the Crater, providing stunning views. However, it also poses greater risks, including falling rocks, making it vital to climb with experienced guides.

  Estimated Budget for 8-Day Lemosho Route via Western Breach (Midrange)

  • Price per person (midrange services): $2,680 - $2,999, depending on the season and group size.

  ·         What to expect: This is a relatively easy day after the strenuous summit push. You’ll be greeted with lush greenery as you descend and celebrate your success upon reaching Mweka Gate.

  ---

  Additional Considerations

  • Acclimatization: The Lemosho Route is known for its excellent acclimatization profile, with gradual ascents and descents. Remember the phrase, "climb high, and sleep low" to help your body adjust to the altitude.
  • Porter and Guide Support: Kilimanjaro Wings Expedition provides well-trained guides and porters who assist with carrying gear, setting up camps, and offering medical support. The guide-to-client ratio is typically 1:2, ensuring personalized attention.
  • Preparation: It is vital to train before the climb, focusing on cardiovascular endurance, strength, and altitude acclimatization. Trust Tours and Safaris can offer advice on the best training regimen.
  • What to Pack: Essentials include layered clothing for varying temperatures, a sleeping bag rated for cold weather, hiking boots, a headlamp for the summit night, and plenty of high-energy snacks.
  • Summit Night: The climb to Uhuru Peak requires mental resilience and physical stamina. Ensure you have proper gear for extreme cold, and keep hydrated throughout the trek.
