7-Day Kilimanjaro Climbing - Lemosho Route
Tour Overview
The Lemosho Route to Kilimanjaro is one of the most scenic trails on the west side of Kilimanjaro and offers a virtual climate expedition. The shallow mountain stream wanders peacefully through the Barranco Valley’s bottom amid the clouds. Frosting shields the valleys, whilst the azure glaciers scatter extravagantly across the ice fields. Immature trees flourish amongst the towering emerald canopies, and the lush vegetation conceals the moist floors. Thick shadows cast down from the bright sun. Faint buffalo trails are carved into the smooth grounds of the Shira Plateau, and milky white mist clings to and enrobes everything it can.
