Description

The Lemosho route is the most scenic and beautiful trail to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This 8-day climb takes you to Africa’s highest peak, enjoying spectacular panoramic views along the way, from various sides of the mountain.

From all the routes to the top of Kilimanjaro, Lemosho is our favorite, because of its unique scenery, fewer crowds and a higher summit success rate compared to other routes. Come experience an unforgettable and rewarding ascent!

After a long drive from Moshi, we get to Londorossi Gate, our trek starting point. From there, the adventure begins, following a route that approaches the mountain from the west.We spend the first two days, hiking through the rainforest until we get to the Shira Ridge.

During these days, we will enjoy a pleasant hike on relatively flat terrain, crossing the Shira Plateau, from west to east. The route is not very crowded until we join the Machame route. From there, we will trek below Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field, before reaching Kilimanjaro’s summit from Barafu.

From the top of the mountain, you will get a spectacula view over the African plains. Then we will then descend along the Mweka Route until we reach Mweka Gate. A vehicle will take us back from Mweka Village to our hotel in Moshi.

We had an amazing time during our journey to the summit of Lenana . It was really difficult but with the help and accurate direction of our guide , James, we were able to reach the summit just to eclipse our eyes with the sunrise. I will never forget the images and the feeling of accomplishment from the top . During our ascendant we had a wonderful team of driver , porters , cook and guide : Willis, bernard, terrace, Joseph, jackelin, Simon , Tim and James ; all of them gave to us a warm welcome, always smiling and making sure we were confortable and mostly safe. The only discomfort was at Shipton camp where the conditions are really precarious. It looks like no one care about honouring the beauty of nature that surround the camp. They ( rock mountain hotel ) should respect such a lovely location, be proud and take measurements to have a camp on the level that the site offers. We really felt like sleeping in a pig pen 1 toilet for 20 people with bumped beds with not ladders and no space between one another . Really it is a place that need URGENTLY a remake . With regard on the main agency EXPLORE-SHARE ; we experienced an issue post booking . We did not received clear information, our question where not answered , etc . Fortunately , Nicky came and sorted out everything for us ( grateful forever) she made the changes needed and we finally got the best ( Siriwa travel). In short “UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, where challenge is constantly surrounded by a great scenery in a huge National Park”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You did not give a detailed packing list for this trekking. it would be nice if you already to give the option to stay in the Austrian Hut (we did) . The daily description could be better. The first day we walked 5 km and the last day 9km. The other days we walked 7-8 hours
