B – Itinerary in details
The Lemosho route approaches the mountain from the west and is used by very few
trekkers making it one of the secluded routes on Kilimanjaro. The first couple of days
through the rain forest gives the climbers an extremely exciting experience with
possibilities of seeing wildlife.
Lemosho is a difficult route, but the added days on the lower slopes of the mountain make
this an ideal route for altitude acclimatization.
Lemosho is probably the most varied and most beautiful scenically as it ascends through
the rainforest, crosses the spectacular Shira Plateau, and also visits the great Barranco
wall and Lava Tower on the Machame route.
Trekkers confident of their fitness and enjoy camping out for long periods without fatigue,
this route offers the greatest adventure variation thus the ideal choice for them. It is also
recommended for those who value proper altitude acclimatization and looking for a lesser
travelled route.
