The adventure begins in the west, with a drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, you’ll spend the first two days hiking through dense rainforest to reach Shira Ridge. The journey continues across the flat expanse of the Shira Plateau, offering a gentle and enjoyable hike. The route remains relatively quiet until it converges with the Machame route near Lava Tower.

Key highlights of the Lemosho route include:

Overview

Lemosho Route Map

The Lemosho route stretches 70 kilometres (42 miles) and leads to the top of Kilimanjaro at Uhuru Peak, which stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). The journey starts with a drive of about three to four hours from Moshi or Arusha to Londorossi Gate on the mountain's western side.

This route first winds through lush rainforests to the expansive Shira Plateau and then passes icy fields and high deserts. Known for its stunning views, Lemosho is a quieter, newer path compared to others, merging with the busier Machame Route further up the mountain, making it an excellent choice for climbers seeking both beauty and solitude.
