The Lemosho route is celebrated as the most scenic trail on Mount Kilimanjaro, offering stunning views from multiple vantage points on the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is an excellent choice for climbers, balancing fewer crowds with breathtaking scenery and a high success rate for summiting. Ultimate Kilimanjaro specializes in guiding on the Lemosho route, and our clients consistently praise their experiences.
Starting from the west, the journey begins with a scenic drive from Moshi or Arusha to Londorossi Gate. The first two days are spent trekking through lush rainforests before reaching Shira Ridge. Crossing the expansive Shira Plateau from west to east provides a relatively flat and enjoyable hike. The route remains uncrowded until it intersects with the Machame route near Lava Tower. From there, the path travels beneath Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field along the Southern Circuit, culminating in the ascent from Barafu. The descent is made via the Mweka route.
