Trip Overview: 

The Lemosho Route is the most scenic and unspoilt of all the Kilimanjaro options traversing beautiful forests and moorlands. This trip includes eight days of trekking, two days longer than our standard trips providing you with more time to acclimatise to the altitude and therefore a better chance of reaching the summit. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rainforest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail.

The park fees, which are mandatory, are included in our price. When comparing prices make sure you factor this is in as they are US$855 or £570 per person (depending on exchange rate). It's a daily rate so it varies between trips, broadly speaking it's £72 a day. This trip is popular for solo travellers and groups alike. This includes the entrance permit to the National Park, the camping/hut permit within the park and the Mount Kilimanjaro Rescue Fee.

Wilderness and wildlife

Lemosho route is a narrow wilderness trail right from the beginning, passing through pristine and remote rainforest with good chances of seeing wildlife, approaching Kibo from the West. Lemosho is considered the most scenic route on Kilimanjaro, it grants panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. Around the Lemosho Glades you are likely to see buffalos, elephants and other game.
