About this safari
The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and least crowded trails to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Starting on the western side of the mountain, it begins in the lush rainforest of the Lemosho Glades, home to unique flora and wildlife. The route gradually ascends through moorlands and alpine deserts, offering breathtaking views of the Shira Plateau, Lava Tower, and distant peaks. With more days for acclimatization, it provides one of the highest success rates for reaching Uhuru Peak.
