HIGHLIGHTS

Low traffic route to Kilimanjaro
Higher probability of making it to the summit

This is a lesser known route which usually begins on the western side of Mount Kilimanjaro. Lemosho route is one of the newer routes on the mountain, and a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low traffic, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Most of our clients use this route and love it.

The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rainforest to Shira Ridge.

Unlike the popular Machame route, which simply intersects the Shira Plateau, the Lemosho route crosses the entirety of the plain from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. An added bonus is that climbers will encounter low traffic until the route joins the Machame route. Afterwards, Lemosho follows the same route through Lava Tower, Barranco and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. Descent is made via the Mweka route.

“We had a great time hiking Kilimanjaro on the lemosho route. The landscape was beautiful and trails were never too difficult. The guides did a good job helping us get to the camp sites each day, and made sure we were always feeling safe and energized.”

Best experience of my life!

“We decided to book the Lemosho Route for 7days but ended up doing it in 6days. The guides were very flexible regarding our wishes and they all wanted us to succeed.
The Route itself was amazing and an unbelievable variety of the nature. Every Day was different, from Moorland, to desert until stones and snow. Its unbelievable what the nature has to offer, we would choose this route again.”
