Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route - 7-9 days
Normal route or via Kibo Northern Circuit.
The Lemosho route approaches Kilimanjaro from the west. Rather than simply intersecting Shira Plateau (like Machame), Lemosho crosses it from Shira Ridge to Shira 2 Camp, in a pleasant hike. Climbers encounter low traffic until the route joins the Machame route. Afterwards, Lemosho follows the same route through Lava Tower, Barranco and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. There are several options to complete the trek, based on experience. High summit success rate. Good for acclimatization, especially on the longer itineraries.
Remote and spectacular, dramatic gorges and views of west Kilimanjaro.
Converges with Machame at Baranco Camp.
Fully catered camping only.
