The Lemosho route is very scenic as you pass through the western Kilimanjaro captivating local farm area. You pass through forest vegetation toward the park’s gate. The route is an unspoiled and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The route is longer than others, allowing climbers to acclimatize properly to the altitude. This extra time will aid in summiting and let you marvel at the surroundings a little longer. It is also among the most scenic routes that do not call for midnight summits. Daytime summits are preferred by most climbers who avoid the crowd at the summit.
