About the Mount Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route
The Lemosho Route is one of the newest summit treks that goes up to Mount Kilimanjaro. It shares a big portion of the trail with the Machame route (other called Whiskey Route), but it starts at a different point - the Lemosho Glades. The Lemosho Route is one of the most beautiful of the Mount Kilimanjaro routes because it starts at the North-Western part of the mountain, which is much less frequently visited by tourists, and offers a chance to see more wildlife, rainforests, and more interesting landscape. It's also longer than the Machame route, which allows more days for acclimatization and a better chance of successfully completing the climb.
