KILIMANJARO 5 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE CLIMBING TOUR
The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. Lemosho Route 5 days Climbs is an excellent choice for your trekking Kilimanjaro because it is one of the newer routes.
The 5-day lemosho route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike.
Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. Then the route traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.
Kilinge Adventures offers Lemosho as an eight day group climb or as a seven to eight day private climb. The 5 day variation combines days six and seven, going from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp without staying at Karanga. A nine day variation that includes an overnight at Crater Camp is available as a private climb by special request.
