Description
Come with us on this unforgettable adventure climbing the incredible Kilimanjaro (5895m) through the Lemosho Route!
Located in the African country of Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the Seven summits and the highest peak in Africa. This majestic peak is also the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
The Lemosho Route is one of the routes to climb Kilimanjaro, and it's relatively new. It is also the preferred route for many climbers due to its beauty and its high summit success rate. It is also considered as the most scenic route in Kilimanjaro due to its panoramic views on several sides of the mountain.
As our personal favorite, we highly recommend taking this route!
We will approach Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, by driving from Moshi to Londorossi Gate where we will start the trekking. During the first two days, we will venture into the rainforest and make our way to Shira Ridge.
Climbers will encounter low traffic until joining the Machame route. From there, we will follow the same path and walk through Lava Tower, Barranco and Barafu known by the locals as "The Southern Circuit". We will descent via the Mweka route.
Keep in mind that a good physical condition is required and, although it's possible to climb Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route in 6 days, we highly recommend taking 8 days so that we achieve proper acclimatization.
If you are interesting in climbing Kilimanjaro through the Lemosho Route, please send me a message and let's start making plans! Or you could also check out our program via the the Rongai Route.
