MOUNT KILIMANJARO LEMOSHO ROUTE OVERVIEW

The Lemosho Route is the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, offering panoramic vistas from multiple sides of the mountain. Due to the ideal balance of limited trekkers, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate,this is our preferred route. You will begin with a drive from Moshi to the Londorossi Gate, which approaches the mountain from the west. The first two days of your trek you will cross the Shira Plateau from west to east, which is a relatively flat hike. As you approach Lava Tower, this route joins the Machame route. You will traverse underneath Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit and will begin your summit climb from the Barafu Camp. The descent will be via the Mweka Route.
