7Days Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route Tour

Package Overview

7 Days Lemosho Route +2night Of Hotel In Town

Lemosho Route: Is an improve to Shira route which begins with long drive from Moshi to Lemosho gate. The hikes start from the gate to Mti mkubwa camp which is in the forest zone. In its day one start with few hours of walk and at low altitude level, which gives high chance of acclimatization. The route begins from west crossing the shira plateau with amazing panoramic vistas then later traverse to underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice filed before summiting from southeast of the mountain at Barafu camp. This route is considered most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro, but for our research and experience it’s at large offering the same scenery as Machame route. It is highly recommended using this route as its success is very high and have a varied beauty and amazing scenery, although nowadays is more populated than Machame route.
