Africa's highest mountain is yours for the climbing. Hike through rain forest, alpine meadows and high-altitude deserts to the peak and see why this is called the Roof of Africa. The Lemosho Route allows for good acclimatization and has some fine forest walking. This is one of the least trekked routes and you get to savour the immense wilderness of the Shira Plateau, with stunning views of the glaciers on the crater rim.
