Summit of Kilimanjaro 9 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE
There are six established routes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro – Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Rongai, and Umbwe. The Marangu, Machame, and Umbwe route all approach from the south of the mountain.
The Lemosho and Shira routes approach from the west. The Rongai route approaches from the north near Kenya. All routes except Marangu descend via Mweka.
Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro
Summit of Kilimanjaro with East Africa Travel Company – Lemosho Route is regarded as one of the prettiest routes on Summit Kilimanjaro.

You begin the trek from the west, climbing in the fertile rainforest until we reach the wildflowers in the healthy ecosystem.

Approaching from the west, we cross one of the most beautiful areas on the Summit of Kilimanjaro, the Shira Plateau before traversing the mountain along the southern circuit.

The total time during the mountain climbing will be 6 nights and 7 days. While Lemosho Route can be done in 7 days, we highly recommend the Lemosho Route for 7 nights and 8 days of climbing.

The 6-night 7 days Lemosho Route climb involves a long day of walking on day four when we go from Shira One Campsite to Barranco Campsite. Just to let you know that our trip starts and end up at our lodge based in Arusha town.

You may be lucky enough to see buffalo, elephants,s and other games. Because this route can be done over a longer period of time for acclimatization, it has a higher success rate of the summit.

Congratulations, one step at a time you have now reached Uhuru Peak the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire continent of Africa!
