Safari summary

Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour – Highest Summit Success

The Lemosho Route is widely regarded as the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro, offering the highest summit success rate, breathtaking scenery, and a quieter start compared to other trails. Beginning on Kilimanjaro’s remote western side, this route allows for excellent acclimatization thanks to its longer duration and gradual ascent.

Trekkers experience pristine wilderness, expansive views across the Shira Plateau, and a smooth transition through multiple climate zones before reaching Uhuru Peak (5,895 m)—the highest point in Africa.

Itinerary (7–9 Days)
(9-day options add an extra acclimatization day for even higher success rates.)

Why Choose the Lemosho Route?

Highest summit success rate

Best acclimatization profile

Less crowded start

Exceptional scenery

Ideal for first-time and experienced climbers
