The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and least crowded routes on Mount Kilimanjaro, offering excellent acclimatization and a high summit success rate. The route begins on the western side of the mountain in lush rainforest, gradually crossing the Shira Plateau before joining the Machame Route near Lava Tower and continuing to the summit via Stella Point and Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).

This route is ideal for trekkers seeking spectacular landscapes, fewer crowds, and a safer ascent profile.

Route Highlights

• High summit success rate due to gradual ascent
