Lemosho Route

Lemosho Route

The Lemosho Route is favored for its panoramic vistas and varied landscapes, offering one of the most beautiful trekking experiences on Kilimanjaro. Starting on the western side of the mountain, the route takes trekkers through lush rainforests, across the Shira Plateau, and up to the high alpine desert. The longer duration of the Lemosho Route provides excellent acclimatization, increasing the chances of reaching the summit. Trekkers can enjoy stunning views of Mount Meru, the Southern Icefields, and the Barranco Wall. The route is less crowded compared to the more popular Machame and Marangu routes, making it ideal for those seeking a longer, more immersive climb with fewer fellow hikers.
