The Lemosho Route

The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic paths up Kilimanjaro. It starts on the western side of the mountain and offers stunning views from the Shira Plateau. The 7 to 8-day trek provides excellent acclimatization and is considered one of the most beautiful routes on the mountain.

The route begins with a drive to Londorossi Gate, followed by a trek through lush rainforest to reach the Shira Plateau. From there, it traverses the Shira Ridge, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape before joining the Machame Route near Lava Tower. The route then continues through the Barranco Valley and the southern circuit, providing spectacular views of the southern ice fields.

Why choose Lemosho? This route is perfect for those seeking a scenic and less crowded climb with excellent acclimatization. It offers the highest success rate among all routes due to its longer duration and gradual ascent profile. The Lemosho Route is ideal for trekkers who want to experience the full beauty of Kilimanjaro's diverse landscapes.
