7 Days Lemosho Route Multiday Tour
Description
Lemosho route is one of the quietest route on the mountain and begins from the western side of the mountain; the trail passes through some of the mountains finest features, including the cloud forest of Kilimanjaro’s southern plains, the dry and dusty Shira Plateau and the delightful groundsel-clad Barranco campsite. Furthermore, you have a choice of ascent routes to the summit, with the thrill-seekers opting for the daunting Western Breach route to the summit, while majority head for the lengthy, long winded climb up the Barafu trail, with the Rebmann glacier edging into your field of vision on your left as dawn breaks behind Mawenzi on your right.

・cost : $1595+tips ・schedule : 7 days ・overall group : 3 friends, 2 guides, 13 porters They are so kind to reach the summit. Enough food, kind attendance, good explanation of the nature.
We climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route and it was hands down one of the toughest things I’ve ever done — especially summit day. A long, cold, relentless slog, but such an unforgettable experience. Our guides — Johnnie, Temba, Conrad, Victor and Bonnie, were absolutely incredible. When I developed acute mountain sickness, they were calm and supportive. They monitored me closely and helped me push through safely. I felt genuinely cared for the entire time. The porters were also amazing. Their strength, kindness and constant encouragement made the whole trek possible. So much respect for the work they do. Richard was very responsive on WhatsApp while organising the trip, which made the planning process straightforward. Kilimanjaro is no joke, but with the right mountain crew beside you, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
This proved to be one of the hardest, yet one of the most rewarding things I’ve done thus far. Charlie from Kili Vikings was a great operator, who took care off every aspect of our trip, not just the climb. He was responsive and supportive, and answered all the questions we had. The climb was super well organised, our guides John, Conrad and Prosba were amazing - they took care of us for the whole week and were always careful so that our well-being is safeguarded, they made the climb that much more enjoyable. Apart from the climb, Kili Vikings also arranged us a safari tour, that was very well planned out and executed. Overall working with Charlie and Kili Vikings was a really enjoyable experience.
We had an amazing time, the whole crew was very helpful and attentive. Both Goodluck and Charles were excellent guides and clearly had a lot of experience in Kilimanjaro. Charles was very knowledgeable about the nature in the area and shared a lot of insights along the way. We were very comfortable in the tent, it was huge, and the food during the whole trip was amazing, we didn’t know we could eat so well up in the mountains. Goodluck did a great job assembling the team. Overall, we had an unforgettable time and everything went perfectly.
