Great video! I climbed Macheme route in 2015. The route is only busy during the high season. I went in November which is the lowseason. There were only 16 hikers. I was the 13th and last hiker to summit. What the video doesn't state is the Lemosho route combines with the Macheme route on that 3rd day.
I took the Lemoshu route a few months ago and I would say that my favourite scenery was the green rolling hills & ridges in the section from leaving the rainforest up to the Shira Plateau on Day2. I don't think the Baranco Wall will be an issue for anyone but the most extreme vertigo sufferers. My wife is so bad with heights that there have been occasions when she has just frozen on a hillside and it has taken me 15-20 minutes to coax her into continuing but on the Baranco Wall she had no issues at all because most of the path is quite wide. The infamous 'kissing wall' section was so trivial that she was not even sure whether was what she had just negotiated. It is also a highlight of the trip for nearly everyone because you get to feel you have climbed something but there are plenty of safe foot and handholds.
Hey, Thanks for sharing your valuable insight. We would agree with everything you say:-) The Barranco Wall is definitely a challenge and looks daunting, but not as intimidating once you're actually on it.
Thank you:-) really glad you found it helpful. If you need any further advice don't hesitate to ask. If you are looking for a climbing operator, we're very happy to help:-) Follow Alice have climbs running throughout the year:-)
Yet another confirmation about the Lemosho route. I will climb the Kilimanjaro in a month and everything Ive read or seen sofar suggests Lemosho. great video, thanks
Glad it helped John:-) Lemosho is a very good choice. Let us know if you require any further help. We offer treks to Kilimanjaro if you fancy joining a Follow Alice trek: followalice.com/adventure-trips/climb-kilimanjaro Have a lovely week.
Some animals can not easily or comfortable adapt the weather and altitude changes, so it can be dangerous, even on mountain animals not all go higher than 4000amsl . Its very rare to see one

Glad you enjoyed the video! And that's a good point and worth mentioning in future videos. Thank you!

This was such a fantastic video. Really appreciate a video like this that breaks the factors down and provides a good visualisation for the routes.

Hi, how much do I have to spend for the whole adventure?
Alice, can I bring my pug (7.7 kg) on any of these routes? Which route is most appropriate for a pug?

Great question! Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the mountain.
