The Lemosho Route is one of the most scenic and less crowded paths to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, often favored for its beauty and gradual acclimatization profile. Typically taking 7-8 days, the route begins at the lush rainforest of Londorossi Gate and traverses diverse landscapes, including heath, moorland, and alpine desert, before joining the Machame Route near the Lava Tower. With fewer trekkers and a longer route, Lemosho offers more time to adapt to the altitude, making it one of the best options for increasing summit success rates while providing stunning views and varied terrain throughout the journey.
