Climb Kilimanjaro The Classic Way

To climb Kilimanjaro on our 11 day Lemosho Route itinerary (trekking for 7 days), you can join one of many Open Group Challenge climbs throughout the year, departing from the UK. Because our Kilimanjaro group climbs bring like-minded people together, you can share an incredible experience. So sign up on your own, as a couple, or with a group of friends or family.

Visit our dedicated Kilimanjaro Challenge website

We’ve taken over 5,000 trekkers safely to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, including groups from many leading UK companies and charities. We offer a range of Kilimanjaro trek itineraries to suit all requirements, and believe that our Challenge Group trips offer the best overall trek Kilimanjaro experience – and the best value in the market. We have a dedicated Kilimanjaro Challenge website which lists all departures, trips & more.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route

Life on the trek

On an Action Challenge trip you’ll be part of a team which takes on an adventure together – and that’s what makes the experience so special. Because getting to know others, supporting each other when the going gets tough, laughing together, and sharing those special moments & the new friendships are the memories that will stay with you for many years. Because our challenges are led by a UK Mountain Leader and supported by a Medic overseeing the group’s wellbeing – you’ll be in safe hands, and our expert local logistics team & guides will ensure it all runs like clockwork. These are ‘fully inclusive’ trips – leaving you to focus on your challenge, and to enjoy it!

An Action Challenge trip is much more than a holiday! It brings like-minded people together in fantastic landscapes, provides the best support & great hospitality, and enables the group to take on a tough & unforgettable challenge which forges new friendships, broaden horizons, and leaves you wanting more of life’s adventures!

The blueprint for Action Challenge trip is based on delivering a high quality enjoyable experience – and doing it all safely. An experienced UK Mountain Leader ensures that all aspects of the challenge run to plan – and one of our UK Medics with an expedition med kit is on-hand to look after the group’s wellbeing – enabling everyone to have the best chance of successfully competing their challenge.

We go to great lengths to ensure that we only use the best local organisations to supply the all-important ground logistics and the on-challenge support, catering, and hospitality teams – with experienced guides leading the way on the trails with their deep local knowledge and authentic style.

Like minded people with a similar sense of adventure – but often from very different backgrounds, and with a wide range of experience, ages, levels of fitness, and personal ambitions. Our trips are perfect for individuals, couples, and small groups of friends to join – and then to take on a unique challenge as part of a larger group which shapes & bonds as the adventure unfolds!

Whether its’s the hotels,  restaurants & transfers before & after the main challenge – or the challenge accommodation & meals whilst out on the trails – our all inclusive packages mean that you will get a top quality experience at a great value price! Flights are generally included, but there’s a ‘land only’ option if you’d prefer to book your own – and single supplement accommodation upgrades are available.

The group comes together – takes on a tough challenge together – and then celebrates its achievements in style on the final night of the trip in a local restaurant or hotel, with medals, awards, and a maybe a bit of a party! Many of our participants make new special friends on our trips – and quite a few come back together for another challenge in the following years!

A successful challenge starts with good preparation. The better prepared you are the more confident you’ll be, and the more you’ll enjoy it! Our ‘Challenge App’ will have all the info & details of what to expect on your challenge – and how to prepare for it – and we have optional training walks, training weekends , and a place on one of our UK Ultra Challenge events to get out on the tails and test your fitness, kit, & equipment.

The Challenge

Reach the roof of Africa in 7 days...

The Lemosho Route approaches Kilimanjaro from the West, starting in pristine forest before crossing the Shira plateau and merging into the Machame Route after Shira Camp (Day 3). Traversing east on Kilimanjaro’s southern side, it offers varied views. This itinerary includes the Barranco Wall and an extra acclimatisation day with a shorter trek before summit day, ensuring more rest and preparation for the final push. It’s a popular route to climb Kilimanjaro – and for good reason!
