Beautiful Scenic Mt Kilimanjaro Lemosho

The Mt Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route is often considered the most beautiful of all the trekking trails up Mount Kilimanjaro. It crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike.

The Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro is preferred by reputable operators due to its beauty, remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall.

It is our favorite route on the mountain because of these reasons.
