Renowned for its captivating scenic beauty, abundant wildlife, optimal acclimatization possibilities, and relatively low climber traffic, the Lemosho route stands out as one of the premier choices for ascending Mount Kilimanjaro. Furthermore, it happens to be our personal favorite for conquering the summit of Africa.
Your journey begins with a roughly 4-hour drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate, which marks the entry point on the western flank of Mt. Kilimanjaro. From here, the route unfolds, leading you to the iconic Shira Plateau, where your extraordinary adventure will encompass traversing diverse climate zones, ranging from alpine meadows to the realm of perpetual ice. The ascent follows a gradual and manageable incline, contributing to the Lemosho route's impressive track record of achieving the highest success rate among all Kilimanjaro routes.
