Hello! We recently had the opportunity to climb my Kilimanjaro taking the Lemosho Route. Here is what we brought! Hope this helps!
We just recently summited Uhuru Peak, Mount Kilimanjaro on October 17, 2023! 🏔️🇹🇿
* Mt. Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania, Africa.
* It is the tallest free standing mountain in the World!
* 19,341 ft Elevation.
* We chose the Lemosho Route. We hiked about 42 miles in 8 days. This route has the highest success rate.
* The company we chose to go with was Peak Planet. They were absolutely awesome and we do recommend them.
* This was one of the most difficult hikes we have done and learned a lot from our experience.
If you have any questions about our hike or our gear, feel free to comment below and we will answer as soon as we can! Thank you for watching 😊
