Additional Information
Taking the western approach we cross the caldera of Shira Volcano, traversing
beneath the southern icefields of Kibo, Kilimanjaro's highest volcano. We
have eight days on Africa’s highest mountain, which means plenty of time
for acclimatisation and soaking up the ever changing scenery. This is one of
the least trekked routes allowing us to savour the immense and wild Shira
Plateau. This itinerary gives you an excellent chance of reaching the summit:
approximately 96% of people trekking the Lemosho route with Exodus stand on
the roof of Africa.
