Map of Routes On Mount Kilimanjaro

The Lemosho Route is a new trail that improves on the Shira Plateau Route by starting below the Shira Ridge, thus providing trekkers with both a walk in the forest at the start of the trek and more time to acclimatize. As with the Shira Plateau Route, you can ascend Kibo either by the Arrow Glacier Route or by the Barafu Route; allow four to five nights for the former, up to seven nights for the latter if stops at Shira 1 Camp, Shira Huts and in the Karanga Valley are taken

The Shira Plateau and Lemosho routes (5-8 days each)

Both run from west to east across the centre of the Shira Plateau, and are perhaps the least popular trails on the mountain, mainly because of the difficulty involved in getting to the start of them.
