Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route
The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and less crowded routes to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m). It starts from the west and crosses through lush rainforests, moorlands, alpine deserts, and glaciers, offering a gradual ascent for better acclimatization. This route is known for its high success rate and is ideal for those looking for a beautiful and less congested trekking experience.
The Lemosho Route typically takes 7 to 8 days, with the 8-day option being the best for acclimatization, significantly increasing summit success rates. It eventually merges with the Machame Route at Shira Camp and follows a similar path to Uhuru Peak via Barafu Camp.
