Highlights
The Lemosho Route is truly picturesque and unspoiled with the possibility of sighting wild game along the forest section.
This route is a superior option for trekkers seeking a quiet route away from the crowds for the first two days of trekking. The Lemosho route takes you from the Forest, Big tree, Shira Plateau to the rarely visited Moir Hut, onwards to Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp.
We ascend the Great Barranco Wall, a challenging and exhilarating rock scramble, and approach Uhuru Summit from Barafu or Kossovo Camp and the ridge that abuts the Southeast Valley.
The climb from Barafu offers incredible views of Mawenzi Peak and Kilimanjaro’s remnant volcanic cone.
