Safari summary

Lemosho is One of the freshest route to traverse Kilimanjaro, it is loved for its stunning vistas and crowd free paths. Many hikers will take the alternative path leaving it wide open. Despite its youthful vitality, is not easy, but cutting across the majestic Shira Plateau and witnessing the snow swirled summit glowering against a pink tinged sky makes every step well worth. After crossing the wild and untamed heart of the Plateau you will meet with Machame Route and have the option of an overnight in the pretty Karanga Valley or pushing on. There is an option to take the Western Breach. Whilst the Western Breach can be hazardous you will have the chance to camp beneath Arrow Glacier – a place seemingly frozen in time and more reminiscent of the Antarctic than the dry heat of Africa. You also have the chance to overnight at the puckered crater, another memorable stop on this epic journey. As you can see it boasts plenty of variation and is considered one of the most scenic ways to reach the summit.
