The Lemosho Route stands out as a scenic and less crowded path up Mount Kilimanjaro, offering trekkers a tranquil experience amid pristine rainforests and across the expansive Shira Plateau. Beginning at Londorossi Gate, this route meanders through remote sections of the mountain, providing ample opportunities to spot wildlife such as colobus and blue monkeys, lizards, and various bird species. With lower foot traffic compared to other routes, adventurers relish the solitude, enhancing the trek's allure as they journey through unique landscapes, enjoying uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness.
Although the Lemosho Route eventually merges with the Machame Route, introducing more hikers to the trail, its early days offer a sense of serenity unmatched by busier paths. Despite sharing some scenery with the Machame Route, including iconic landmarks like the Lava Tower and Barranco Wall, the Lemosho Trail provides distinct vistas not found elsewhere on the mountain. Its lengthier duration and secluded nature contribute to a higher success rate, with most trekkers spending seven to eight days immersed in the breathtaking beauty of Kilimanjaro's western flanks.
