What to expect
Itinerary
The Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Not too long ago, there were only two main routes used to climb Kilimanjaro – the Marangu (Coca Cola) route and the Machame (Whiskey) route. But as Tanzania’s tourism industry flourished, the Kilimanjaro park authority created more trails to African’s highest peak. Lemosho, a relatively new route, is preferred by reputable operators due to its beauty, remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall.
The Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days (five nights) on the mountain. However, it is ideally tackled over eight days (seven nights) for a better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rainforest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail.
Stop At:
• Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park 40000 Tanzania
• Climbing Hill, Climbing Hill, Iowa
• Tanzania, Tanzania

My fiancee and I traveled to Tanzania during covid. We summitted Kilimanjaro and did a 6 day safari through Kwesa tours and had an amazing time from start to finish! Kwesa is an extremely professional family-operated company. Edward was especially responsive over Whatsapp while we were planning the trip. We did the Lemosho trek with Edward's brothers Joseph and Goodluck who made the entire experience very memorable. They even offered to carry our daypacks for us when we got tired, which definitely helped us make our way to the summit. We ended up summiting and coming down in just 6 days, so we added two days to our original 4-day safari, which Edward was able to swiftly organize. After coming down from the mountain, Edward took us out to a nice dinner in town with Joseph and Goodluck. We really felt like family! We did the Safari with Brighton and Felix, who were also excellent. Felix was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and Brighton was a very professional driver. The lodges we stayed at were very high-end and better than expected. Edward is very resourceful and will go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. He even helped us organize a covid test in Zanzibar so we could fly back to the U.S. Overall, I would highly recommend Kwesa tours to anyone looking to explore Tanzania.Caroline D

The 4 of us booked 8 days Kilimanjaro climbing using the longer Lemosho track with Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Adventures. Communication prior to the trek was smooth and as Teacher was helpful, and patient with us. Our guides proved helpful, and supportive during the climb, they he took time to ensure our health with daily checks for blood pressure, oxygen levels as well as maintaining Corona precautions. We reached the summit exhausted, views there were jaw-dropping, especially the sunrise above the clouds! We have no regrets for using this wonderful company1992Josef

My girlfiend and I began our two week long Tanzania vacation with 8 days Kilimanjaro Lemosho trek. KWESA was our choice given the vast experience of Edward/Teacher the leader of the mountain crew (he was recommended by my sister Abigail) and had the best value for money for Kilimanjaro plus safari. Our experience was fantastic – The Company is very professional and the trip would not have been same without them. Everything was better than we expected; great guides, high quality tents & equipment, well maintained & comfortable 4x4 for safari drives to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, splendid lodges...... we highly recommend KWESA.Benoit_Machuel

Teacher the owner KWESA was wonderfully helpful, timely and flexible during the booking process of our hike from Paris. Upon our arrival we found that he had organized everything extremely well and was fully prepared for our 8 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek. The whole trek went smoothly like clockwork with a very professional and experienced climbing team led by Teacher. It was an extra tough challenge but we overcame it thanks to excellent planning, great equipment and endurance for guides, porters and cook. I highly recommend KWESA for making us part of those who’ve set foot on the highest point in Africa.Sharma06

Amazing trip, Without the KSESA team we are not sure that we would not have succeeded in making the summit. Your team on the mountain went above and beyond what was in their job description. They knew what we needed before. Everyone had a smile on their face all the time. On the Summit day the help us a lots. They were as determined as we were to make it to the Summit. Food is absolutely wonderful even though we are vegetarian. Special thanks to our guide and the potters, especially Joseph and Yunis.Raquel H

I had the opportunity to achieve the Uhuro Peak with this amazing team. I arrived alone and our group was only me, 1 guide (Tchasaka), 1 cooker (Samuel), 1 assistant (Victor) and 3 Porters. They were very professional, supportive and I could feel safe and confident to get to the summit. The food was amazing, Samuel really cooked amazing soups, breakfasts, popcorn and dinners. Victor was really gentle and provided a great service. And Tchasaka (Joseph) has a lot of experience in the trail, talking about plants, flowers, animals, knowing how to handle altitude and I can say he gave me the last push to get to the summit. I highly recommend KWESA if you want to do this trekking. I also recommend to ask (before going) for the Tipping table that they have as reference because I didn`t know about that and it was higher than the values that I could find in the internet. They all deserve the best because was really good. Also I recommend to take all in cash because I had problem in the ATM with my card. Edward, the owner, is very attentive and willing to propose the best experience.
