7 days Climbing Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route
Overview
About Lemosho Route
Is an improvement to the Shira route which begins with a long drive from Moshi to Lemosho gate. The hikes start from the gate to Mti mkubwa camp which is in the forest zone. In its day one starts with a few hours of walk and at a low altitude level, which gives a high chance of acclimatization. The success of the route is high to 98% with Kilimanjaro Simon Adv Travel. The route begins from the west crossing the Shira plateau with amazing panoramic vistas then later traversing underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field before summiting from the southeast of the mountain at Barafu camp.
This route is considered the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro, but for our research and experience it at large offers the same scenery as the Machame route. It is highly recommended to use this route as its success is very high and has varied beauty and amazing scenery.
