Lemosho Route
A western approach to Kilimanjaro that crosses the Shira Plateau before joining the southern mountain trails.
Use the itinerary and price information on this page to review the proposed programme. Confirm the exact mountain days, overnight stops, arrival arrangements and inclusions for your dates with Kilidove before booking.
The early western approach and Shira Plateau are distinguishing parts of Lemosho. Compare the actual overnight stops and mountain days, since programmes sold under the same route name can differ.
The goal is Uhuru Peak, at 5,895 metres, but reaching the summit is subject to health, weather and guide decisions. Your proposal should explain the planned ascent, descent and arrangements if the programme needs to change.
For a comparison with other approaches, read the Kilimanjaro route comparison guide and visit our Kilimanjaro climbing tours page. To discuss this route, request a Lemosho Route proposal with your travel dates, group size and hiking experience.
