Lemosho Route

This Kilimanjaro Lemosho route 9 days itinerary is a very special itinerary designed for those wishing to make the ascent to the summit in the daylight hours as well as with sun rise. It takes us through magnificent scenery with views of the Great Rift Valley, Mt Meru and with a camping option at the crater.

The Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days (five nights) on the mountain.

However, it is ideally tackled over eight days (seven nights) for a better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rainforest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail. The route is more scenic.
