Kilimanjaro Lemosho route Tours in Spring

I recently completed the 7-day Lemosho Route hike to Mount Kilimanjaro, and the experience far exceeded my expectations—especially in terms of safety, professionalism, and overall organization. From the moment we began the trek, the crew’s attention to safety was clear. Our guides were exceptionally well-trained and experienced, conducting daily health checks that included monitoring oxygen levels and asking detailed questions about how we felt. They were incredibly proactive in spotting early signs of altitude sickness and adjusted the pace and rest stops accordingly. This gave our entire group the confidence and peace of mind to fully enjoy the journey. The Lemosho Route itself is both beautiful and well-paced for acclimatization. We walked through rainforest, crossed high moorland, and trekked over alpine desert—each day offering a new challenge and new scenery. Thanks to the route’s gradual ascent and the crew’s careful pacing, everyone in our group adapted well and reached the summit successfully. The support team—porters, chef, and camp staff—also played a huge role in keeping us safe and comfortable. Camps were set up promptly and securely, meals were warm, nutritious, and catered to our energy needs, and clean drinking water was always provided. Hygiene at camp was clearly a priority, and handwashing stations and daily sanitization made a big difference. On summit night, the guides ensured we were fully prepared both mentally and physically. Their encouragement, constant monitoring, and careful pacing made a very difficult climb feel achievable and safe. If you’re looking to hike Kilimanjaro and safety is a top concern, I highly recommend the Lemosho Route—and even more so, doing it with a professional, experienced team that prioritizes your health every step of the way. It was not just a successful summit, but a safe and unforgettable journey to the Roof of Africa.

I recently completed the 7-day Machame Route hike to Mount Kilimanjaro with Kilisa Tours & Safaris, and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime. From beginning to end, the trek was exceptionally well-organized. The guides demonstrated deep knowledge, patience, and unwavering support—particularly during the summit ascent, where their encouragement and steady pacing proved invaluable. They maintained a consistent "pole pole" (slowly, slowly) rhythm and continuously checked in to ensure we were acclimatizing properly and feeling well. The Machame Route itself offers breathtaking diversity. Each day revealed new landscapes—from the lush rainforest on day one to the dramatic Shira Plateau, the exhilarating Barranco Wall, and the stark beauty of the alpine desert approaching Barafu Camp. The route’s acclimatization profile is excellent, and I am confident it contributed significantly to our group’s high summit success rate. The support crew—porters, cooks, and camp staff—exceeded expectations. We were warmly welcomed at each camp with hot meals and comfortable resting areas. The quality of the food was remarkable for a mountain expedition—nutritious, hearty, and far above what I had anticipated. Reaching Uhuru Peak was both emotional and exhilarating. Witnessing the sunrise from the Roof of Africa was a deeply rewarding moment and one of the proudest accomplishments of my life. For anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb, I highly recommend the 7-day Machame Route. It offers the perfect balance of challenge, scenic variety, and effective altitude adaptation. I strongly encourage choosing Kilisa Tours & Safaris as your operator—they deliver an outstanding and unforgettable experience.

Everything about this trip was great. From the help we got from Hamisi at the office in selecting the route, preparation materials, smooth payment to the actual trip. We definitely could not have done the trek without the wonderful and professional support from senior guide Shaban and his colleagues. They made sure we were in the best condition to tackle the mountain. The six of us all made it to the summit and it was an unforgettable experience. We had three days safari after Kilimanjaro and Tanzania is an absolutely beautiful country. We saw numerous animals and birds and also managed to see the Hadza people in Rift Valley.

We absolutely recommend Kilimanjaro hike via Lemosho route with this local tour company. The trip was amazingly planned and their website is very user friendly. We had amazing 7 days in the mountains. From initial arrangement, planned itinerary, airport pickups, hotel, briefing, mountain equipment's, food, safety measures, guides and the entire crew, everything was fabulous. These guys are very professional. Our guide Evance was super experienced and was able to help us and guide us in every moment. He performed twice per day health check ups and his experience in dealing with high altitude environment was vital for me to accomplish the summit. Michael, the assistant guide was by my side not letting me quit in the most difficult moments. The rest of the team was so organized and nice to us. We had amazing hot meals cooked by Jimy, and served by our personal waiter Michael. Allen the camp master had our tents immediately prepared when we arrive at the campsites. The porters were amazing and were always able to help us. We recommend renting portable toilet since the facilities in the campsites are usually in bad conditions. Aron was the responsible for ours and no doubt that this was a big part of our comfort. Honestly we had the most beautiful experience more than expected. With a team like this anyone can summit one of the 7 summits ! I definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for the unforgettable experience.

The guide Eric and the porters were all incredibly kind and helpful throughout the trek. This ensured I was in the best possible frame of mind and body for summit night. The route itself is scenic and offers gradual acclimatization.

I love every part of our journey! One of them was the games that we play as we hike. It helped us forget that we are hiking. It was fun. We liked the meals served every single day. They served plenty of food which we can't consume. The positive vibes, the care, the endless patience, the spirit of camaraderie, the swahili words that we learned, the love, and many more. You made this dream possible. Hats off to our three incredible guides headed by the legend, Goodluck, Abraham, and Oscar. You all are brilliant strategist. Thank you for a very succesful summit night. No one was left behind. Thank you to all the porters. You are the backbone of this successful journey. Without you, this may not be possible. Asante sana to the entire staff headed by Naick Msemo. From the booking to our departure and everything in between, you never let us down. You took good care of all our needs, made adjustments, answered ll our questions, made everyone feel safe and comfortable. I can go on and on and on....Thank you. More power to this incredible company!
