10 Days Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route

10 Days Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route

The Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Lemosho, a relatively new route, 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 a longer route, allowing climbers to acclimatize more readily to the altitude.
Lemosho is also one of the more scenic routes up Kilimanjaro and does NOT require a midnight summit ascent. A day time summit is much preferred, as climbers avoid the crowds at the summit.
