Kilimanjaro - Lemoshso Glades

Hiking Trail

Hard
61.98 km
4,764 m
The challenging and less-travelled Lemosho route begins in the lush rainforests of the Lemosho Glades, before climbing beautiful on a beatiful path up the western breach of the mountain, to the Shira Plateau, which is the perfect spot to acclimatise.

On this amazing high mountain adventure you'll steadily climb through magnificent forests and moorland, and emerge into high-alpine deserts as you enjoy spectacular views along the way to the summit.

The challenging and less-travelled Lemosho route begins in the lush rainforests of the Lemosho Glades, before climbing beautiful on a beatiful path up the western breach of the mountain, to the Shira Plateau, which is the perfect spot to acclimatise.

From here we can see the ice-capped peak of Kibo - our ultimate goal. Our trail then follows the impressive Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route to the summit. This adventure starts off with a few long days as we gain altitude, and has several days built in to help us acclimatise, vastly improving your chances of making the summit. Overall, we spend 8 days trekking up and down the mountain.
