Climb Kilimanjaro via Lemosho

 

If you could walk through every world in one week lush green forest, rocky volcanic plateaus, icy glaciers you’d be walking the Lemosho Route

This is Kilimanjaro at its best. Wild. Beautiful. Achievable. Lemosho is known for its peaceful paths, stunning views, and high summit success. It starts on the quiet western slope and crosses through all of the mountain’s magical climate zones. It’s also the trail that brought an 86-year-old woman to the top of Africa. So yes, you can do this too.

You’ll hike through ancient rainforests, past the alien-like Dendrosenecio kilimanjari plants, and rest under stars so bright they feel close enough to touch. For many, this isn’t just a trek it’s a life milestone.

Which Lemosho Itinerary Is Right for You?

• 6 Days: Best for experienced high-altitude hikers.
• 7 Days (Most Popular): Great for people with hiking experience but no altitude exposure. This version starts higher up, skipping the forest and easing you into summit shape with short hikes.
• 8 Days (Best for First-Timers): Starts deep in the tropical forest and gives you more time to adjust. Ideal for anyone new to big climbs.

EXG Tip: More time = better acclimatization = higher success = more smiles at the summit.
