8 Tage Besteigung des Kilimandscharo (Lemosho-Route)

We are really happy with our choice of Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari during the just ended holiday vacation. We did Kilimanjaro in 8 days via Lemosho and it was amazing. The prepared well and we had great support from crew, with enough supplies and quality equipment. We also did a 4-day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara and it was incredible. I really appreciated the wonderful service from our hosts and I have no reservations whrn I recommend the operator for both Kilimanjaro trekking and safaris.

Perfectly organized by our host Edward, the Director of Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari. The actual trek is challenging, but fortunately, we had an excellent team of guides (Musa and Kileo) assisting us, along with 6 porters and Felix the cook. We had brought most of the gear we needed for the trek and rented additional items in Moshi. The trek was divided into manageable daily segments, and we would take breaks and set up camp (the porters did this for us) at designated campsites, where we would spend our evenings and nights in tents. The crew went above and beyond to enhance our living conditions on the mountain, providing items such as a portable toilet, a mess tent, hot water to freshen up, and delicious meals prepared by Felix. The crew was incredibly supportive and ensured our safety. We could not have reached the summit without them. A huge vote of thanks goes to the entire team for being wonderful and so supportive.

We completed a 7 day Lemosho Route with Kwesa at the start of June and we cannot say enough good things about the incredible team which helped us do it!! Originally we planned an 8 day Lemosho but we changed our route on Day 2 to move up to the next campsite. Doing that gave us the flexibility of having two summit attempts if needed at the end so I would recommend that to others if that is an option. Our group of 6 made it to the summit! We owe it to Haji who was our lead guide and Thulisa and Lucas, our assistant guides. These three were not just guides but they continuously motivated us, and then quite literally physically supported us up to the peak. Haji’s calm leadership and sense of humour, Thulisa’s warm encouragement and education of the trail and Lucas’s positivity and singing carried us every step of the way. Summit day was honestly the most physically demanding challenge any of us have done. The altitude on that last night was crazy but the team knew exactly how to support us through it. We were all surprised by how well we handled the altitude until that final day but that was where the professionalism and experience of our guides really shone. A special shoutout to the 18 porters, 3 chefs and 2 waiters. We did not realise the village of helpers we would need to make our dream a reality and to get us to the top of that mountain! To all future trekkers do yourselves a favour and get the private toilet lol. Trust us it’s worth the extra $$. I was a bit suss about it initially and felt we could skip it but trust me after long days of hiking, especially on summit night (and after you see the public toilets) you will be so glad you opted for it. To Kwesa Tours thank you for making our journey a success. It was more than ticking off our a bucket list it became an unforgettable life experience for us. Also, massive congratulations to Haji on his 500th summit! I'm glad we got to experience it with you!
