The Lemosho Route is celebrated as one of the most scenic and diverse paths to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, offering climbers a gradual ascent through a variety of ecosystems. Known for its beauty and well-balanced itinerary, the Lemosho Route provides an excellent opportunity for acclimatization and a higher chance of summiting successfully.

Starting from the remote and picturesque Lemosho Glades, this route takes climbers through a verdant rainforest teeming with unique flora and fauna. As the trek progresses, the trail transitions into the moorland zone, where hikers are greeted by expansive views and distinctive vegetation such as the giant groundsels and lobelias.

The Lemosho Route typically spans over seven to eight days, allowing for a slower and more gradual ascent. This extended itinerary is designed to enhance acclimatization, reducing the risk of altitude sickness. As climbers advance, they traverse the dramatic Shira Plateau, a high-altitude desert landscape that offers stunning vistas of Kilimanjaro’s ice fields and volcanic terrain.

One of the highlights of the Lemosho Route is its panoramic views of the mountain and surrounding landscape, which are particularly striking at sunrise and sunset. The route’s diverse environments and gradual ascent make it an ideal choice for those seeking a balance between adventure and scenic beauty, culminating in a rewarding summit experience from the rooftop of Africa.

Lemosho Route on Kilimanjaro

We offer a seven day and an eight day climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro using the Lemosho route. Both offer good acclimatisation and wonderful views enroute. This route has a beautiful approach through the forest on the first day through the Lemosho Glades from the west before joining the Machame trail at the Shira Plateau and contouring around the dramatic southern flank of the mountain via Barranco Camp, Karanga Camp and then on to Barafu camp for the summit push. The descent is via Millennium Camp and through Mweka Gate.

From $2,340.00
