The Machame Route Kilimanjaro: Success Rate, Map and More
The Machame route on Kilimanjaro
The Machame Route - Overview
Lemosho is a classic trail that has gained much popularity in recent years. And deservingly so: it offers amazing views, a great acclimatization profile, and some of the highest summit success rates among all routes. Starting on the western slope of Kilimanjaro, the Lemosho route is available in 3 itineraries: 6, 7, and 8 days on the mountain. One of Lemosho’s highlights is the Cathedral Peak – one of the highest points of the Shira Volcano (3872 m). You’ll have a chance to go on an acclimatization hike to Cathedral Peak and enjoy the best views Kilimanjaro has to offer. Another iconic feature of Lemosho are huge alien-looking plants, Dendrosenecio kilimanjari, that are only found on this mountain. The Lemosho route was the path Angela Vorobieva, aged 86, took to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro with Seko Tours Adventures, setting a Guinness World Record as the oldest person to ever climb this mountain.
