"The Lemosho Route is widely considered the finest way to climb Kilimanjaro."
Beginning on the remote western slopes, it traverses the full width of the mountain, passing through the Shira Caldera and joining the Southern Circuit before the summit push. Eight days allow for excellent acclimatisation, exceptional wildlife in the lower forest, and stunning 360-degree views that no other route can match.
