Lemosho-route 8 dagen 7 nachten / Kilimanjaro-klim

I had a wonderful trek on the Lemosho route up Mount Kilimanjaro, organised through Migration Ventures. My guide Zacariah was excellent - very patient and encouraging - and the crew of cook and porters did a fantastic job, helping me reach my summit goal. Everything ran smoothly - from the airport pickup to accommodation at a hotel beforehand to the trek itself and airport dropoff at the end. Zacariah was simply an amazing guide - ask for him when you book!

Tanzania is always great and I was happy to reconnect with my old friend and host Amos this time going for the ultimate prize - Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Amos and his team did not disappoint, he arranged for perfect guides: Epa and Joseph who took the best care of us. Getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro was much harder than we expected and I believe the crew of guides and porters made all the difference between success and failure. Nothing can replace the presence of an experienced guide at your side, whose duty is to keep you going, safe, nourished, healthy and also much more than just a friend. I know that the level of involvement during the planning phase and actual is huge because nothing took us by chance. Thank you Amos and the whole Migration Ventures team!

Migration Venture provided an extraordinary and a very pleasurable end-to-end experience for us during our successful Kilimanjaro climb through the Lemosho route. Starting with ease of interaction with Amos at the point of sale to the patience exhibited by our able and highly experienced guides, Epa and Joseph along with an outstanding team of porters, cooks and tent folks, our overall experience was simply outstanding. They all came together to constantly motivate and help us through out the way to successfully summit the Uhuru peak one day ahead of schedule. This really helped us with additional time to rest and recuperate after the climb. The accommodations arranged by the company pre- and post-climb at Chanya Lodge in Moshi was equally delightful. The staff out there, the wonderful ambience inside and outside our room, and the restaurant food made us so much feel welcome and at home. We could have never dreamed of accomplishing this feat without their help. Kilimanjaro climb does expose us to very harsh environmental conditions ( extreme temperature changes and UV radiation from the Sun), with steep grades at various points during the climb. It is nearly impossible to simulate such conditions and train effectively for a 15K ft+ climb prior to the climb. Yet, we were able to completely avoid an signs of early fatigue, burnout or high altitude sickness and I would attribute all of that success to Epa, Joseph and the team of porters. I would not hesitate to climb again with these wonderful and highly committed folks, perhaps in about 2 years from now. Thank you for the wonderful experience and hospitality, Migration Venture!!
