Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route
6 Days Tanzania Safari

Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route

Safari Overview

This is an unspoilt, remote, less-used, and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. Trekkers sometimes use it to ascend the Western Breach route or follow it with the Kibo South Circuit to ascend by the easier Barafu Route. The first day of the route hardly ever has any game animals, and armed rangers never accompany a group. The standard route takes 7 days on the mountain, and is sometimes extended to 8 days with a stay at Karanga Valley.
