Lemosho Route

Description

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 the northern side of the Mountain. Lemosho route is preferred by many due to its remoteness, scenery, acclimatization and summit success rate. Climbers encounter less traffic until the route joins the Machame route on the 3rd day when on a 6 or 7 days Lemosho trek.

Mega Adventures recommends the trail for those who prefer to experience the varied scenery of Mt Kilimanjaro and those willing to pay an extra little for the high altitude drop off by a vehicle.
