SUCESS RATE – HIGH | 95%
The high success rate is one of the main reasons for the popularity of the Lemosho route. In contrast, the popular Machame 6-day and Marangu 5-day treks have success rates of only five out of ten hikers reaching the top, eight and seven-day Lemosho trips offer far better chances – 85% and 95%, respectively.
At the same time, choosing the Lemosho route for your Kilimanjaro trip is not a magic formula for guaranteed success. Though ideal camp locations, flat terrain on the first days, longer duration make acclimatization and overall experience better than on the other routes, you should be prepared to hike 5-9 km per day in the wild.
