Lemosho Route

Lemosho Route Overview

We have to admit, we have a soft spot for the Lemosho route! Because of it’s versatility, scenery and a rather untouched, wild start to the climb, Lemosho is often considered the route with the most variety. Spotting large wildlife, like antelopes is not very common, but possible! One of the really unique things about this route is that it offers trekkers the experience of hiking across the Shira Plateau, one of the largest high-altitude plateaus in the world. The route approaches from the western side of the mountain​ and is less frequented than other popular Kilimanjaro routes. It’s effectively a variant of the Machame route with only the first two days of the trek differing.

The acclimatisation profile of the Lemosho route is great, with repeated climb high sleep low opportunities throughout leading to high success rates. Most people complete the Lemosho route in seven days, but it can be extended by one day to give yourself a little longer to acclimatize if needed.

Camping is the only available option for the Lemosho route.
