Western Breach route, one of the least crowded routes, most fascinating and it is long enough to provide proper acclimatization. We use essentially the same route as the IMAX team during the filming of "Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa".

Western Breach route » Private Guided Kilimanjaro » Trip Overview

Our Western Breach trip (9 days on the mountain) is plain and simply the route to experience the thrill of climbing Kilimanjaro. We climb using the Lemosho/Shira/Western Breach route.

When the Western Breach is closed due to excessive snow or potential for rock falls, we follow the equally impressive Lemosho/Barafu/Crater route.

The Western Breach route is more risky due to the potential for rock falls. We require our clients to bring light-weight climb helmets and we ask them to wear it for 6 hours during the morning after departing Arrow Glacier camp. We also equip our team with helmets so this route is more expensive - but it is well-worth the extra expense.

What every trekker should know about climbing the Western Breach route:

Everybody can do it! It is very satisfying and breathtakingly beautiful. But you must do it the right way! There is much misinformation about the Western Breach Route. With a proven 100% summit success record in 2004, we know a thing or two about the Western Breach!
