The Lemosho route, renowned for its scenic beauty, offers breathtaking views throughout the trail. As it stands as one of Mount Kilimanjaro’s newer routes, it represents an excellent choice for climbers. Low crowds, stunning scenery, effective acclimatization, and a high summit success rate make it our preferred route.
The 7-day Lemosho Route starts on Kilimanjaro’s west side, leading through dense rainforest on day one, thinning as you ascend. By the second day, you’ll catch sight of Kilimanjaro’s summit gleaming in the distance.
On the third day, the route converges with the Machame Route as it approaches the Lava Tower. By completing the Lemosho Route in 7 days, yet opting for the 8-day itinerary, you enhance acclimatization, ultimately improving summit success odds.
