Kilimanjaro Climbing Routes for Holiday Climbs

Peak Climbers Adventures primarily offers the Lemosho and Machame routes for their Christmas and New Year climbs, both providing excellent opportunities for acclimatization and spectacular scenery:

· Lemosho Route: Considered one of the most beautiful paths to the summit, the Lemosho route offers a sense of tranquility and solitude, perfect for those seeking a more reflective holiday experience. With its gradual ascent through various ecosystems, it provides excellent acclimatization opportunities . The route begins on the western side of the mountain and typically takes 7-8 days, increasing your summit success rate.

· Machame Route (Whiskey Route): Known for its stunning vistas of Kilimanjaro's various ecological zones, the Machame route is a more challenging but incredibly scenic option for a Christmas or New Year climb . This route is popular for its excellent acclimatization profile and diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts. The 7-day Machame itinerary is particularly effective for altitude adaptation.

· Other Available Routes: While Lemosho and Machame are the primary routes for holiday climbs, other options like the Marangu Route (often called the "Coca-Cola Route") offer hut accommodations that can be particularly appealing during the holiday season . The Rongai Route, approaching from the north side of the mountain, is generally drier and less crowded .

The Serengeti offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, with chances to see lions, leopards, elephants, and countless other species in their natural habitat.

· Ngorongoro Crater: Explore the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often described as a "Garden of Eden" for its dense population of wildlife . The crater is home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino) and offers some of the best game viewing in Africa year-round.

· Tarangire National Park: Famous for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees, Tarangire provides a different but equally mesmerizing safari experience . The park is less crowded than the Serengeti, offering a more intimate wildlife experience.

· Lake Manyara National Park: Known for its diverse ecosystems and vibrant birdlife, including flocks of flamingos, Lake Manyara offers lush scenery and the unique opportunity to see tree-climbing lions .

    WHY SHOULD I USE LEMOSHO ROUTE  The Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro is a top choice for climbers for several key reasons. Located on the western side of the mountain, Lemosho has earned a reputation for its high success rate, beautiful scenery, and fewer crowds. The trek begins at the Lemosho Gate and crosses the entire Shira Plateau, providing an enjoyable, relatively flat hike from Shira Camp 1 to Shira Camp 2. Many hikers today choose the Lemosho route due to its impressive success rate, especially compared to other routes. It can be completed in six, seven, or eight days, but more days generally mean a higher success rate, as this allows more time for acclimatization: 6-Day Itinerary: This option skips two camps, Shira Camp 1 and Karanga Camp. Without enough acclimatization time, the success rate tends to be lower, so we generally don’t recommend this itinerary. 7-Day Itinerary: This version only skips Shira Camp 1 and follows a similar pace as the 8-day itinerary af...
