The Lemosho Route

Approaching Kilimanjaro from the west, the trek is initially accompanied by an armed ranger through spectacular forest plantations, rich in buffalo, elephant and other big-game. From here, continue upwards via the Lemosho Glades. It is a great, slow route allowing for maximum acclimatisation before reaching the summit.
