Spend 8 days | 7 Nights climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route. The Lemosho Route is an unspoiled, remote, little-used, and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. The route is one of the few where groups may be accompanied on the first day by an armed ranger, as the forests around the Lemosho Glades are inhabited by buffalo, elephants, and other wildlife. The minimum duration for the Lemosho Route is 6 days, however, we strongly recommend hiking the route in 7 days. The additional 7th day will give your body more time to acclimatize, reducing the effects of altitude sickness and giving you more time to rest before attempting the summit then escape to Zanzibar Island and explore long stretches of virgin powdery white sand beaches. This itinerary also allows you to spend 6 Days | 5 Nights at Melia Zanzibar, Your private corner of paradise on Spice Island. Just 45 km from the capital Stone Town, this sophisticated all-inclusive resort is located in an unbeatable spot. Romantic rooms and private villas, with infinity pools and views of the Indian Ocean, where you can enjoy a wide range of experiences and activities. Meliá Zanzibar is surrounded by a natural coral reef and is built on a 16-hectare estate beside a 300-meter-long white sandy beach. It boasts six restaurants and five bars serving local and international delicacies, and an Africa-inspired spa to relax both body and mind. Set in Kiwengwa, where you will have the chance to discover the best activities in Zanzibar Island including the Zanzibar Spice Tour, Stone Town City Tour, Prison Island Boat Trip, and the Safari Blue Sea Adventure.
