8-daagse kleine groep Lemosho Kilimanjaro Summit Trekking

I went on this eight day Lemosho Kilimanjaro track in October 2024. There were 6 people in the group, including my brother, myself, our brother-in-law and two nephews. There also was a solo hiker from Australia that went with us. This was an exceptional trip and could not be matched. I’ve had altitude sickness in the past, but the guides for this trip were expert with altitude sickness, and nobody on our trip experienced this.We did see several people being helicopter’d off the mountain due to this, but our group leaders at Climb Kili knew how to acclimate us for the journey. I cannot imagine a smarter or better equipped group as Climb Kili.

I just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro, courtesy of Climb Kili. I'd have to say that the experience was wonderful. All six of us summited without incident. I'd like to say that we were amazingly fit and prepared, but the truth is that the climb Kili crew (Herment et al) had everything so organized and straightforward that we didn't actually climb Kili, we were pulled up by 22 amazingly dedicated and strong men. I have some comparison. I've been to Everest Base Camp with a good outfit, Patagonia, The Brooks Range, Iceland, etc. Climb Kili is at the peak when you want to summit that peak. I highly recommend them. In fact, it was pretty obvious that climbers from other outfits were jealous of our crew (and yes, they sang to us with harmony and gusto). Some tidbits: 1) Hot coffee or tea in your tent in the AM if you wish it 2) Tents are three person tents with only one or two occupents 3) Toilet facilities are private, with a great chemical toilet. Plenty of good TP. I saw other hikers slinking into the rocks with wads of toilet paper in their hands. Not us 3) Lots and lots of good food! Superb fare 4) Lots of boiled, sterile water. No gastroenteritis or other illness 5) Arusha and Kili are above the mosquito areas. No fear of Malaria 6) I found little use for trail bars and snacks. Leave them behind and lighten your pack Pick Climb Kili. Barring extremely rare High altitude pulmonary or cerebral edema, the only way you won't summit is because you chose not to

My recent climb to Mt. Kilimanjaro with Climb Kili was superb. Hement Moshi, our lead guide, along with Lebo and Gabriele, the assistant guides, did an amazing job setting the pace (pole, pole (slow, slow) was a prevalent saying throughout the hike) so that we were well acclimated by summit night. They were very attentive to how we were handling the altitude, ensuring that all six of us in our group remained in good health. Because of this care, delicious 3 meals/day + snacks, and the help from all the support staff, all six of us successfully summited the rooftop of Africa in good spirits and good health while enjoying the entire 8 day trek. I was a solo climber which concerned me initially during my planning. However, Tiffany from Climb Kili was very responsive, answering all my questions on time and assuring me that there was nothing to worry about! Our small group size of 6 was also conducive to a better overall experience. Climb Kili is permitted to camp in Kosovo camp on summit night which reduced additional hiking on summit night. This is definitely an added bonus. Additionally, if you are thinking about renting gear, I rented my sleeping bag from Climb Kili and glad i did. The sleeping bag kept me warm and comfy throughout the entire trek. I highly recommend Climb Kili but also our specific guides.
