7 Days Lemosho Route Climbing
Overview
The Kilimanjaro climb 7 days lemosho is the best for acclimatization.The remote is less used and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau.
The minimum duration for the Lemosho route is 6 days, however we strongly recommend hiking the route in 7 days. The additional 7th day will give your body more time to acclimatize, reducing the effects of altitude sickness and give you more time to rest before attempting the summit.

I had a great experience with Tanzania Joy Tours doing the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro. Great service, excellent guides, very supportive and helpful crew, and a really good chef! I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent group and guides bringing us all the way to the top of Africa! The porters &guides were very helpful and incredibly kind to us and we appreciate very much their extremely hard work carrying all our stuff and food (which was delicious and fresh on 4600m!). Thank you to each and every of the 13 members, including guide Patrick and Lenard! The guides are professional guides with guiding school certification and certainly know everything and bring along oxygen measures for checking your health every day. Even when my knee was in big pain after the summit, one of the porters somewhere (I still Wonder where on the base camp!) found and gave me a cooling bandage which saved my knee and a helicopter evacuation ;) Tip to the tourists, we did a 6D lemosho route which is very hard, even for us well trained at athletes that are used to hiking, so we recommend to stick to the recommended 7+ days.Great experience!

Great experience! I decided to do the Lemosho route to minimize the risk of Altitude Sickness. The leading guide Patrick and his ‘dream team’ were fantastic. They’re supportive, experienced, and know how to maintain a positive vibe. Jeremia’s food was excellent. Patrick’s guidance and planning were relaxed but above all professional. As was the rest of the team. I absolutely recommend them.Wonderful experience with patrick and his whole team. Tanzania needs to be discover and kilimandjaro especially.
