The Lemosho route is one of the best acclimatization routes. The route is less used and a beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. The route is one of the few where groups can be accompanied by an armed ranger on the first day, as the forests around the Lemosho Glades are home to buffalo, elephants and other wildlife.

The minimum duration of the Lemosho route is 6 days, but we strongly recommend that you complete the route in 7 days. The extra 7 days gives your body more time to acclimatise, reducing the effects of altitude sickness, and gives you more time to rest before attempting the summit.
