The ascent up the great mountain via the Lemosho route leads hikers through dense woodlands, open moorland, and stark alpine desert. Wildlife such as primates, gazelle, and beautiful avian species can often be observed. Altitude challenges everyone differently, but opting for a longer route greatly enhances acclimatisation and makes the top achievable for fit trained individuals. Be aware that not all companies follow fair standards. Some offer shortened trips that compromise adequate acclimatisation and may exploit their local staff. Conducting thorough investigation to choose a responsible outfitter that provides excellent wages, good kit, and training for its crew is paramount.
