The Lemosho route is renowned as the most picturesque trail on Kilimanjaro, offering breathtaking panoramas from various angles of the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is an excellent choice for your climb, striking a perfect balance between fewer crowds, stunning scenery, and a high success rate for summiting.

Beginning from the west, the route starts with a scenic drive from Moshi | Arusha to Londorossi Gate. The initial two days are spent trekking through lush rainforests until reaching Shira Ridge. Crossing the expansive Shira Plateau from west to east offers a relatively flat and enjoyable hike. Crowds remain sparse until the route intersects with the Machame route near Lava Tower. The journey then leads beneath Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field along the Southern Circuit before ascending from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.
