8 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Trek

About This Tour

The 8-Day Lemosho Route is one of the best Kilimanjaro routes because it gives the body more time to adjust to altitude. It starts lower and farther west than Machame, crosses the beautiful Shira Plateau, joins the Machame trail around Lava Tower and Barranco, then continues toward Karanga, Barafu, and the summit. This route gives climbers a quieter start, beautiful forest, open Shira Plateau views, strong acclimatization, and a better summit profile than rushed routes.
