The Lemosho Route, a newer trail, commences from the Western flank of Mount Kilimanjaro at the Londorossi Gate. This route was established as a substitute to the Shira Route that starts at a more elevated, and somewhat demanding altitude.
A considerable distance from both Moshi town and Arusha, Londorossi Gate requires a significant journey. Here, you’ll need to register with the local authorities before being transported an additional 12km to the beginning of the trek.
The western region of Kilimanjaro maintains its untouched wilderness, offering chances to sight large antelope, buffalo, and perhaps even elephants.
The Lemosho Route intersects with the Machame Route at the Lava Tower, then continues onward to the Barranco Valley through the Southern Circuit (refer to map). Similar to the Machame trail, Lemosho hikers must traverse the Barranco Wall and then make their summit from the Barafu Camp.
The return journey is executed via the Mweka route.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
