lemosho-routeThis is a more traditional version of the Lemosho Route trail, commencing at the Londorossi Gate it plies easily through a dense belt of Kilimanjaro cloud forest, and in easy stages rounds the Southern Circuit to summit via the main staging point of Barafu Camp before concluding at Mweka Gate.

Although this is the longest of the Kilimanjaro trails, it is also one of the easiest, with a forgiving gradients throughout, and ample opportunity to adjust to increasing altitude.
