Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route 7 Days

The Lemosho route 7 days is a very scenic hiking route, starting on the western slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro before merging with the Machame Route half way through. It leads you through a lush rain-forest, past the eerie  forest and up to the Barranco Wall. The altitude profile of the Lemosho Route is ideal for acclimatization, allowing climbers to hike to higher altitudes during the day than they’ll be sleeping overnight.

We recommend the 7 day Machame route, if you prefer to experience most of Kilimanjaro’s scenic highlights and don’t mind sharing your climb with many others. While even longer routes might further improve your acclimatization to the high altitude, and thereby your summit success chance, the Machame Route has the best altitude acclimatization profile of all 7 days’ routes.
