Epic Kilimanjaro Journey on the Lemosho Route!
Emily J. · USA · 07 Apr 2026

The 8 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climb was an absolute dream. This route is stunning and provides ample time for acclimatization, which was key to our success. The guides were incredibly professional and motivated us every step of the way. The camps were well-organized, and the food surprisingly good given the conditions. Reaching the summit was an emotional and life-changing moment. Can't recommend this enough for a Kilimanjaro adventure.

The 6-day Rongai Route was a fantastic choice. It's known for being drier and offering different views, which was true. Our guide was superb, very experienced, and kept us motivated.
