The Lemosho Route via the Western Breach is one of the most adventurous and scenic routes to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Are you up for an exhilarating challenge that will push your limits and test your endurance? If so, our Western Breach route up Kilimanjaro's quieter western side may be just the climb for you. While it's not an easy trek and requires ample time for acclimatization, the rewards are truly remarkable. This less-traveled path offers a solitude not found on other routes, along with more challenging scrambles, serene campsites, and breathtaking vistas of endless blue skies and vibrant African sunsets. However, it's important to note that this route is best suited for experienced climbers. Acclimatization is crucial, especially as descending the Breach can be more challenging than ascending it. To help you acclimatize effectively, we've included a rest day mid route to increase your chances of success. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to soak in the beauty of the lush rainforest with its lively birdlife and colorful plant species. Join us on this unforgettable adventure and conquer Kilimanjaro in a truly unique and rewarding way! Embark on an unforgettable journey through lush montane forests, sprawling heathlands, and breathtaking alpine meadows as you make your way towards the glaciers shimmering in the distance. Feel the exhilaration of crossing mountain streams and conquering challenging ridges and escarpments along the way. Our expert guides will be there to assist you every step of the way, ensuring a safe and rewarding climb to the summit of Uhuru, the highest point in Africa. Trust in our professional team to provide you with nourishing meals and drinks to keep you energized throughout your ascent. Join us for an exhilarating adventure of a lifetime! The itinerary includes one night in Moshi before the climb and one night in Arusha after the climb, along with midrange accommodations.

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.
