The Kilimanjaro Lemosho route is an unspoiled and tranquil route that approaches Kibo from the West. The first two days of the trek are spent in the rainforest enjoying the peace and quiet of this less populated route. On the second day of the climb you will emerge out of the forest and onto the Shira Plateau. Once across the Plateau the route then follows the Southern Circuit route to Barranco Wall, Lava Tower and Barafu Hut, before the final ascent to the summit. The Lemosho route is one of the longest routes on the mountain and utilizes the additional day to assist with acclimatization.
  
The Lemosho route is also one of the quietest routes on the mountain and has some of the most spectacular scenery of all the routes. Descent is via the Mweka route on the southern side of the mountain. This route is typically completed in 8 days allowing for excellent acclimatization.
