For avid trekkers and seasoned adventurers, the Lemosho route stands out as the premium way to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. This 8-day trekking journey is especially favored for its outstanding acclimatization profile and sweeping vistas, including stops at Lava Tower, Barranco Camp, and Karanga Camp. The route’s unique approach starts with a high-altitude drop-off, allowing you to immediately immerse yourself in the alpine zone, skipping the first night at Shira 1 Camp for those on the 6-day itinerary. The Lemosho trek boasts the highest success rate among all 6-day routes, with about 80% of climbers reaching the summit.

The Lemosho route on Mount Kilimanjaro goes parallel to the lower part of the Shira Route. The trail on the Lemosho Route is unspoiled, secluded and a very beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. Above the plateau, you approach Kilimanjaro's great western Breach, then follow the south circuit to reach the easier Barafu Route. This is one of the few routes where an armed ranger will accompany us as there are still animals in the forest around the Lemosho Glades.
The Lemosho route will take 9 days in total. The route is the most scenic on the lower part as it goes directly through a rainforest area with wildlife. Later on, this route merges with the popular Machame route.
You can bring around 15 kgs of luggage for the trip. The porters will carry most of the 15 kgs, and you will yourself carry a small day-pack. As soon as you book with us, we will brief you further on luggage and trekking clothes.
At Zara Tours, we look forward to take you on a climb of a lifetime to Mount Kilimanjaro.

We had a great walk along this beautiful coastline. On many occasions it was slow-going with ups and downs over rocky ground, but the scenery was just gorgeous. We loved the towns where we stayed and the hotels were all great. The food was delicious, particularly in Spain. We were pleased that we arranged extra days in Collioure and Cadaqués so we could soak up the atmosphere of the area.

Excellent trip. The hotels used were all very good. Clean and plenty of hot water. Breakfasts in each hotel were plentiful, with a wide choice for most palates. Locations were all good, and made starting the next day easy as we were en route for the next location. The app that was sent for the walks was really helpful. Clear directions and easy to follow — just make sure you have sufficient data on your phone.

Everything went very smoothly on my walk from León to Santiago de Compostela, to complete the French Camino route I started in 2023. Many thanks to the local partner, and the luggage transport team. Your expertise and efficiency made it an extremely enjoyable experience.

Before we started booking, we researched similar companies, and we're glad we chose them! They did a super job, from preparing the initial itinerary, to working with our changes, to providing outstanding accommodations throughout our Camino walk. The luggage transfers were all smooth — no glitches of any kind on our trip. We would highly recommend them.

What an amazing experience walking the Via Francigena. Walking from Orvieto to Bolsena was interesting, especially when I arrived at a crossroad and the directions were not clear. However, when I called the emergency number, the gentleman on the other end was extremely helpful and wouldn't get off the phone until I was back on the right track and had entered Bolsena. The rest of the journey was clearly marked. Signs were everywhere. I did it as a self-guided tour and at no point did I feel threatened by anything, nor scared nor anxious. The accommodation was as expected but, most importantly, it was clean.

Had a great time walking with 10 friends. The planning went smoothly thanks to the Auckland office staff. Everything was spot on - the accommodation, the meals, the information provided. Excellent.
