8-daagse kleine groep Lemosho Kilimanjaro Summit Trekking

We hiked in March of this year, just before the rainy season. We chose the scenic 8-day Lemosha route. It helped to gradually acclimate to the altitude, and we had plenty of time to soak in the stunning view. Even though it was just the two of us, the whole setup felt very professional. Tiffany was so helpful in planning our trip and quickly responded with any question. Our guide, Amani and his assistant, were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were always comfortable. The support team was also fantastic, always there with smiling faces to lend a hand. We also did a 2-day safari after the hike, and while there was a small hiccup with transportation, Simon, the local manager, quickly resolved the issue and made sure everything went smoothly. Crossing the Barranco wall (of course kissing it!!) was an exhilarating experience. Staying at Kosova camp before the summit was a great decision. It gave us a real advantage for the final push and early start to see the amazing Sunrise at Uhuru, a great experience to cherish. We were so lucky…. ClimbKili was superb. The weather was super supportive. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike and grateful for the whole experience….

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
