Lemosho Route

Lemosho is a beautiful route with gentle ascents approaching the Mt Kilimanjaro's summit from the west. You pass through the Lemosho Glades and traverse the Shira Plateau, providing stunning views of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s main peak. Proceeding in a counter-clockwise direction below the southern face of the mountain, the route takes you to Lava Tower for magnificent 360 degree vistas; the Great Barranco Wall, a challenging and exhilarating rock scramble; and approaches Uhuru Summit from Barafu and the ridge that abuts the Southeast Valley. The climb from Barafu offers incredible views of Mawenzi Peak, Kilimanjaro’s remnant volcanic cone.

You will start at 6000 feet in elevation, slowly ascending to Uhuru Peak at 19,340 feet in elevation. All treks will be at an easy pace, with plenty of support from the expert private staff that are familiar with the terrain and challenging conditions associated with hiking at elevation. This route includes all accommodation, all meals, filtered water, special French press coffee and tea while trekking, services of trip leader, climbing guides and mountain crew, all Kilimanjaro National Park entrance and camping fees, all camping equipment (excluding sleeping bag & sleeping pad - available to rent), private biodegradable toilet at all camps, Gamow bag (portable hyperbaric chamber) and supplemental oxygen, transfers to & from your accommodation in Arusha. Additional service like a shower tent for hot showers on the Mountain and additional porters are available at an extra cost.
