Description & Routing
The Lemosho route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro, the route begins in the western side of the Mt Kilimanjaro and descends down the northern side of the Mountain. Lemosho route is relatively new route and is preferred by some due to its remoteness, scenery, acclimatization and summit success rate . The lemosho route meets the Machame route on the 3rd day.
Mega Adventures recommends the trail for those willing to avoid much traffic during the trek and those willing to pay an extra little for the high altitude drop off by a vehicle.
The Lemosho route can be tackled in as little as six days however 7 to 8 days is ideal for this route for better acclimatization.
