The
Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Not too long ago, there were only two main routes used to climb Kilimanjaro which are Marangu (Coca Cola) route and Machame (Whiskey) route. But as
Tanzania's tourism industry flourished, the Kilimanjaro park authority created
more trails to African's highest peak.
Lemosho is preferred by reputable operators due to its beauty,
remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber
will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall.
The
Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days (five nights) on the
mountain. However, it is ideally tackled over eight days (seven nights)for a
better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate,
located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rain forest.
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. With eight days (seven nights) on the mountain, your chances
of reaching the summit are very high, around 90%.
The Lemosho route is approximately 70 km/ 42 miles from gate to gate. It is designed for physically fit people with some hiking experience
