Description

Scenic Lemosho Route. Looking for a less crowded, scenic route with a high summit success rate? Look no further than the Lemosho route. This route is a favorite among trekkers due to its stunning views, serene surroundings, and minimal traffic.

Starting from the west, the journey begins with a scenic drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. The first two days are spent trekking through the lush rainforest to Shira Plateau.

At Shira 2 Camp, the scenic Lemosho route merges with the Machame route and follows the same path through the southern circuit, culminating with a descent at Mweka Gate. We recommend a minimum of 7 days for this route, but 8 days is preferable to ensure proper acclimatization and improve summit success.

Embark on this once-in-a-lifetime trek and experience the majestic beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro. Contact us today to start planning your adventure!
