Overview
The Lemosho Route is widely considered the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro. It approaches the mountain from the west, crossing the stunning Shira Plateau before joining the Machame route. The 8-day itinerary allows for excellent acclimatization, making it one of the safest routes with the highest summit success rates.
