The **Lemosho Route** is known for its scenic beauty and is a great choice for trekkers looking to enjoy more time on the mountain. The longer acclimatization period increases the chances of reaching the summit successfully. This route takes 7 to 8 days and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
For those seeking a true wilderness adventure, camping on Kilimanjaro offers a unique experience. Campsites are set up at various stops along the trek, allowing you to rest in the heart of nature.
