Lemosho route Eight days

Safari summary

You will be picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your Hotel in Moshi town. At your hotel, your guide will meet you and brief you on your upcoming trek. There, the guide will and do an equipment check to make sure you have all of the necessary gear required for the hike. If you don’t have all that you need, don’t worry—you can rent equipment at this meeting.

Climbers will travel through a lovely rain forest, with the possibility of seeing wildlife along the way. Blue monkeys, small lizards, and a variety of birds, as well as black and white colobus monkeys, are common sights in the woodlands. The Kilimanjaro lemosho route then heads out onto the Shira Plateau, crossing it from west to east over reasonably level and easy terrain.

The Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route offers lots of privacy in the early days, since it sees significantly less traffic than the Machame and Marangu routes. This enhances an already stunning trekking journey by giving you the impression that you have the mountain to yourself at times.

However, the kilimanjaro Lemosho route eventually combines with the Machame route, and traffic levels begin to rise. However, if you’re seeking for a little peace and quiet while climbing, this is a terrific alternative.

Climbers will have the opportunity to meander through beautiful rain forests and hike up to the Shira Plateau, where spectacular vistas await once beyond the tree line.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route requires a few extra days to travel due to its remote location and longer path. The average person spends seven to eight days on this trail, which increases the success rate significantly.

If you want to increase your chances of reaching the summit, the Kilimanjaro Lemosho route is one of the better routes to choose, especially when compared to the Machame and Marangu routes. Despite the higher success rate, the Kilimanjaro Lemosho route is a longer and more difficult hike than the “Whiskey” and “Coca-Cola” routes.

There are several sections of the trail that are steeper and more difficult, and trekkers usually stay an extra night or two in tents. Nonetheless, the attractions of this route set it apart from the rest, making it a favorite choice among daring visitors.

Climbing Kilimanjaro allows you to ascend Lemosho in 7 or 8 days. The seven-day option combines days five and six, and includes a trip from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp without stopping at Karanga.

The Best Time To Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The months of January through early March, as well as June through October, are ideal to climb mount Kilimanjaro. It provides a comfortable hiking conditions because of the clear skies, great views, and sunshine, however, the weather has the potential to change dramatically.

Kilimanjaro can be climbed at any time of year, but some months are better than others. We recommend climbing Mount Kilimanjaro during the driest months of the year. We avoid the months of April and November because they are the rainiest, making the trails more dangerous.
