The Lemosho Route is considered one of the most beautiful and highly recommended paths to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Starting from the western side of the mountain, this route passes through untouched rainforest, expansive Shira Plateau, and dramatic alpine landscapes.
It is especially known for its excellent acclimatization profile thanks to its longer, gradual ascent. This makes Lemosho ideal for trekkers seeking a higher success rate while enjoying diverse scenery and fewer crowds in the early days of the expedition.
Typically completed in 7 to 8 days, the route offers stunning panoramic views, unique flora and fauna, and a rewarding approach to Uhuru Peak via the Western Breach or Barafu Camp. If you want a blend of adventure, beauty, and the best chance of reaching the summit, the Lemosho Route stands out as one of the top choices for Kilimanjaro trekking.
