2016 中秋節登吉力馬札羅山 - 七頂峰

一般旅行社走的是 Marangu 路線 （可樂路線），和 Machame (威士忌路線），前者比較簡單所以稱可樂。這兩條『大眾化』路線，人太多了。 我計畫走 西邊入口 的 Lemosho 路線，這條路線乃是延稜脊上山頂，比較有挑戰性，也比較美，沿著稜脊，展望更佳。 下面是我網上找到的價錢。 登吉利馬札羅山8天7夜 ( 9/9 - 9/16 ）的費用是 US $1,950 (不含野生動物園和機票) 。為了降低高山症的反應，我要求旅行社多加一天 ，所以多美金＄200。原本給我的價錢＄1,750 是7天的價錢。目前的估價8人以下。我還在等當地的旅行社的回覆，若是人多於8人，可以打幾折 。 野生動物園4天3夜的價錢US $680 機場接送每人US $25 One extra night （9/8） at Q-Wine hotel (09/04): US $ 30 per person 所以， 預算估計 $1,950 ＋ $680 ＋ $25 ＋$30 ＝ ＄2685 （含動物園） $1,950 ＋ $25 ＋$30 ＝ ＄1975（不含動物園） ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 關於野生動物園4天3夜的價錢如下。（個人自由參加） WILDLIFE CAMPING SAFARI PACKAGE 4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS: US $ 680. - PER PERSON The above given charges would include the followings: - Park entrance fees - Ngorongoro crater fees - Full board accommodation at the campsites - Sleeping tents and other beddings - Drinking mineral water - Transport (Toyota Land Cruiser 4X4) with pop-up roof - including 3 meals, water and double occupancy sleeping tents, 4x4 safari vehicle with open / popup roof, etc. Items not included: - Alcoholic and soft drinks - Tips - Personal spending monies for souvenirs etc - Travel insurance ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 登吉利馬札羅山8天7夜 的價錢如下。 MOUNT KILIMANJARO CLIMBING PACKAGE LEMOSHO 8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS ON THE MOUNTAIN: US $ 1,950. - PER PERSON The above given charges would include the followings: - Hotel accommodation on bed and breakfast before and after climb, night before and after climb - Full Kilimanjaro briefing - Park entrance fees - Camping fees - Rescue fees - Lemosho / West Kilimanjaro Forest fees - Park commission - Kilimanjaro certificate - Food for climbers (3 meals a day) - Salaries to the climbing crew (guide, porters and a cook) - Transport from hotel to the park gates and back after the climb - For 8 clients: 1 professional guide, 2 assistant professional guides, 2 professional cooks and 3 porters for each climber / client.

As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth.” Shortly after the tower, we come to a second junction which brings us up to the Arrow Glacier at an altitude of 4,876 meters. From here we continue down to the Barranco Hut at an altitude of 3,860 meters. At the hut we rest, enjoy dinner, and overnight. Although you end the day at the same elevation as when you started, this is a very important day for acclimatization and will help everybody to be well prepared for summit day. 09/13/16 Day 5 To Karanga Hut 12,700ft to 13,800ft About 4 hours After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge passing the Barranco Wall, to the Karanga Valley (4200m) campsite. 09/14/16 Day 6 To Barafu Hut 13,800ft to 15,100ft About 4 hours After breakfast, we leave the Karanga Valley and pass the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail.
