Why we recommend the Lemosho Route

The Lemosho Route is also the only day-hike route we highly recommend. That is because it offers some of the closest and clearest views of Kibo Peak or Uhuru Peak. On clear days, you also enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the snow-capped summit. As a result, it is the best choice for photography and for feeling the grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro.

It also includes convenient pickup from Arusha, Moshi, Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK). So whether you visit before or after a Tanzania safari or Zanzibar holiday, this 1-Day Lemosho Route Hike is ideal. It lets you experience the world's tallest free-standing mountain in a single day.

At Serengeti Wildlife Safaris, we proudly recommend the Lemosho Route as the best one-day Mount Kilimanjaro hike. It offers outstanding scenery and a peaceful setting, as well as incredible views of Africa's iconic peak.

Itinerary

First, your adventure begins with an early-morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha, Moshi or at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Then you enjoy a scenic drive to Londorossi Gate, the western entrance to Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. Here you then complete registration and meet your professional mountain guide.

After a short transfer to the Lemosho Trailhead, you start hiking through the lush montane rainforest. It is one of the most beautiful and untouched parts of Mount Kilimanjaro. Meanwhile, your experienced guide introduces the mountain's unique ecosystem and towering native trees. You may also see colourful birdlife and wildlife such as blue monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys.

In fact, the Lemosho Route is famous for its peaceful atmosphere and spectacular scenery. When skies are clear, it offers some of the closest views of Kibo Peak or Uhuru Peak, Africa's highest point. So it is the perfect route for nature lovers and photographers.

After a delicious picnic lunch surrounded by nature, you then descend through the rainforest to the trailhead. Next, you return to Londorossi Gate. Finally, your driver takes you back to your hotel in Arusha, Moshi or to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
