Tours Overview
The Lemosho Route is widely considered the most scenic trail for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and a gradual ascent, making it one of the best routes for acclimatization and high summit success rates. Starting from the western side of the mountain, the route crosses the Shira Plateau before merging with the Machame Route, providing climbers with stunning panoramic views and an immersive trekking experience. The Lemosho Route typically takes 7 to 8 days to complete, making it one of the longer routes but also increasing the chances of successful acclimatization.
