The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and less crowded paths to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Starting on the western side of the mountain, the route offers varied landscapes, including lush rainforests, moorlands, and stunning views of the Shira Plateau.
It is known for its high success rates due to the longer itinerary, which allows for better acclimatization. Hikers often take between 7 to 8 days to complete the trek, enjoying a gradual ascent that provides ample time to adapt to the altitude, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more immersive and less strenuous climb. The route also offers opportunities to spot wildlife in the early stages and provides breathtaking vistas as climbers approach the summit.
