Lemosho Route
The Scenic Route
8 Days / 7 Nights
About the Route
Lemosho is widely considered the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro. It starts on the western side of the mountain and offers a remote, wilderness feel for the first few days before joining the main trail.
The 8-day duration is perfect for excellent acclimatization, resulting in high success rates. This route provides the ideal balance of scenery, solitude, and summit success.
