Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route

Why this itinerary?

The complete Kilimanjaro experience, more acclimatisation time, more spectacular scenery. This route has been an all round favourite and despite becoming busy once it joins the Machame route at Lava Tower, the ascent profile, scenic variation and ascent via Stella Point make this a superlative choice for anyone looking to successfully hike Kilimanjaro.

Description

Highlights
