Itinerary
The Lemosho route on Mount Kilimanjaro goes parallel to the lower part of the Shira Route. The trail on the Lemosho Route is unspoiled, secluded and a very beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. Above the plateau, you approach Kilimanjaro's great western Breach, then follow the south circuit to reach the easier Barafu Route. This is one of the few routes where an armed ranger will accompany us as there are still animals in the forest around the Lemosho Glades.
The Lemosho route will take 9 days in total. The route is the most scenic on the lower part as it goes directly through a rainforest area with wildlife. Later on, this route merges with the popular Machame route.
You can bring around 15 kgs of luggage for the trip. The porters will carry most of the 15 kgs, and you will yourself carry a small day-pack. As soon as you book with us, we will brief you further on luggage and trekking clothes.
At Zara Tours, we look forward to take you on a climb of a lifetime to Mount Kilimanjaro.

Fantastic 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.
Once In a Lifetime Experience
My brother and I successfully made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro and it is a memory I will treasure for all eternity. Getting to the top is no joke. It took the support of Kileo and his team of porters to safely climb the mountain. We had great tents, an amazing cook preparing our meals and so many other things with us. The physical strain of the climb gets you mainly because of low oxygen and the high altitude. I suffered mild altitude sickness and almost gave up. This is an amazing company and I am really happy that we picked them.
Trekking with the best
We booked the the Lemosho trek with this tour company. Hamisi our contact helped us plan the trek and get the right gear. The company did a great job to pair us with great guides who are the main reason we reached the summit safely. Having experienced, accommodating and experienced guides worked in our favour. They knew the route well and guided us accordingly.
Once in a lifetime experience
I want to say a few words and pass my appreciation to the whole team for the just concluded Kilimanjaro trekking tour. I travelled in a party of five friends and all of us agree that the Kilimanjaro trek is unlike any other expedition we have ever embarked on. We had good guides, Mushi, Kimario and Musa. These guys are the reason we made it to their summit. They set a pace that seemed slow but very important to conserve energy for the later stages of the trip and summit attempt. Food was phenomenal, tents waterproof and comfortable, relations with the climbing team very good, attention to our health and well-being was first class and making the trek enjoyable. Important note: Do not go on the trek without the portable toilet. The public drop toilets are dirty!! We all made it to the summit and are now safely back home. Thank you all for your support!
A Dream Come True
This trek was a dream come true after a long time planning for it. We are experienced travelers but the intensity, passion and level of personal involvement made it special and unforgettable. The crew was experienced and dedicated to our success. They kept us safe and in the best shape for the trek. Totally loved making it to the summit and I owe a lot of it to the awesome crew.
