Traditionally, the Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route is one of the quieter and lesser-known routes on the mountain. Also Known as the newest and undoubtedly the most diverse in terms of the ecological systems and landscapes it passes through. The first two days of this route take you through the lush rainforest before you arise into heath and moorland then join the Machame Route on the third day.

Climbing through different climate zones it starts on heaths and winds further across alpine meadows to ascend to the arctic zone near Uhuru Peak. The descent, in turn, passes through the rainforest. All this adventure makes this route even more scenic on Kilimanjaro.
