This course moves toward Mount Kilimanjaro from the west.
It offers an opportunity to visit Shira Plateau and Shira Caldera.
Lemosho Route crosses from Shira Ridge to Shira 2 Camp, in a lovely climb.
Climbers experience low traffic until the course joins the Machame course.
Thereafter, Lemosho follows a similar course as Machame Route through Lava Tower, Barranco, and Barafu, known as the southern circuit.
The base days needed for this course is 7 days, however, eight days is suggested as it will allow greater opportunity to adjust and accomplish the highest point. Like Machame, this is a grandly stupendous and fluctuated course.
Lemosho is enthusiastically suggested and it has a wealth of natural lifelike elephants, wild ox, eland, and lions which approach scavenge during the dry season from Longido game-controlled region.

Thanks again Francis
And thanks for the Masai blankets
The trip was absolutely perfect! I could use all the adjectives to describe each moment of it, but I would still run out of them. We LOVED every moment of it.
We had the most fantastic trip! It was full of adventure, excitement, some scary bits (lions in the night), and beauty.
We truly enjoyed the trip, and really appreciate your help in organizing the trip, and then modifying the activities for me at last moment. You were helpful and so friendly through the process,
Just wanted to let you know, we had a really great trip! Our flights worked out. Our guide from Timeless Travel was college educated in wildlife management and he was excellent.
Thank you for your contribution to this and for assigning your best guide to this group – it obviously worked!
Hello Francis,
Back to France after a great Tanzania week.
