Tour Overview
Climbing Kilimanjaro via the 7-day Lemosho Route offers stunning views and a quieter, well-tested path to the top. This route is perfect for trekkers who are up for a challenge. You’ll start at Lemosho Gate, trekking through lush rainforests and winding your way along the mountain’s side, not straight up, allowing you to enjoy amazing views around every corner. What makes the Lemosho Route special are the incredible sights and fewer crowds. You’ll have the chance to see Kilimanjaro from different angles, all while enjoying a more peaceful climb. The gradual ascent gives your body time to adjust to the altitude, increasing your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro.
