About this experience
The Lemosho route is a truly unique and fascinating option for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. What sets it apart is the blend of stunning scenery and biodiversity that one encounters along the way. As it starts from the western side of the mountain, trekkers get to explore remote and less-visited areas, experiencing a sense of untouched wilderness. The gradual ascent and longer duration of the Lemosho route contribute to better acclimatization, increasing the chances of reaching the summit successfully. With its serene ambiance, abundant wildlife sightings, and breathtaking landscapes, the Lemosho route promises an exceptional and enriching journey to the "Roof of Africa."

Itinerary and highlights
Featuring captivating scenic vistas, pristine wildlife, excellent acclimatization opportunities, and low traffic of climbers, Lemosho is our personal first favorite for reaching the roof of Africa.
After a 4-hour long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate you’ll find yourself on the western slope of Mt Kilimanjaro, from there the route will take you to the world-famous Shira Plateau. That’s where you’ll embark on your adventure through all climate zones – from alpine meadows to eternal ice. The climb is smooth and gradual, featuring the highest success rate of all routes on Kilimanjaro.
Seven and eight-day programs are available, so you can choose depending on the amount of time at your disposal. Longer programs are always recommended over the shorter ones for better acclimatization.
