Lemosho Route

Lemosho route is considered the most beautiful of the routes up Kilimanjaro. It is less widely used, due to the extended trekking time and therefore cost. However, apart from the wilderness and isolation, a major advantage is the slower acclimatisation to altitude and therefore greater chance of summit success.

Don't be fooled by the 56km though! The secret to a successful attempt is to acclimatise properly to altitude. Therefore, on reaching camp, it is normal to walk higher before returning to sleep at the camp. This almost doubles the distance walked!
