Highlights
  • Machame - 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.

Solo trip as single female - Very pleased with my trekking experience with Kwesa tour. The director Edward was great human. He truly made me feel like home. I am so glad I opt out using western companies and decided with local companies. My guide Tulzia, the waiter Juma and the whole crew that were supporting me in my journey to conquer Kilimanjaro were truly amazing people. I initially signed up for 8 days so summit day will be my birthday but ended up completing it in 6 due to misunderstanding but ended up being great. When I got back they threw me huge birthday party which ended up being the best. Also I ended up going as private since no one else has signed up for that day which worked out great. Please choose local companies and support locals.

Unforgettable experience - The crew provided exceptional service, prioritizing our needs. Haji, our knowledgeable guide, went above and beyond to ensure our safety and summit success. Additionally, the cuisine was top-notch. I highly recommend investing in the toilet facility for a more comfortable experience.

An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Trek - We went with KWESA for our Kilimanjaro Lemosho Trek and it is an adventure that we will remember forever. Trekking up Kilimanjaro is super tough, the cold, thin air, bad weather and chilly winds are some of the tough conditions that we had to battle with on our way to the summit. We had Teacher with us leading two other guides; Kaniki and Seif plus 14 porters making it quite a big group. We owe our successful summit attempt to the wonderful crew. They pushed and supported us in all possible ways to get us there, making beautiful memories of the course along the way. Special thanks to Teacher who not only helped us plan the trip, but also led the expedition. I definitely recommend KWESA to everyone.

Once In A Lifetime Kilimanjaro Experience - For this one in a life time trekking trip I give Teacher and his team five stars. Were it possible I would have given more for the people were outstanding, the service excellent and the experience the best we have had in a long time. The guides were concerned about our well being and made every effort to keep us safe, comfortable at all times. Everything went according to the daily plan that Marko would share with us during the morning briefing. The crew kept a comfortable pace sparing our reserves for the tough alpine section close to the summit. We both made it to the summit on 15th Jan thanks to the support of our outstanding crew led by Marko. We count ourselves lucky to have had such a great team and company behind us.

Fantastic Experience - We were two couples from Lisbon who came to Tanzania on holiday. We went on a five day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater which has been an amazing experience. The whole trip was well organized, with great game drives with our guide/driver Kimario. Kimario is an amazing guide having done countless trips in his more than 10 years' experience of guiding travelers. He drove carefully and did not spook the animals and gave us enough time to enjoy various animal encounters. His explanations to our unending questions were on point. We did not miss even a single activity thanks to the perfect scheduling by Teacher at the office. He had guided us excellently in the booking process. I am glad to say that the trip exceeded our expectations in all ways and we will definitely come back to Tanzania for another adventure.

Absolutely Fantastic - The Kilimanjaro trek via Lemosho was fantastic. We had some of the best guides/porters/cook with us and they did phenomenal work. I give credit to Teacher who coordinated the whole process from booking, preparing the team and ensuring we had the right equipment and sufficient supplies. We enjoyed the trek, the crew guided us in doable pace punctuated with rest breaks. They taught us everything about Kilimanjaro, discussed local culture and so many other topics. The porters were great, they worked great assisting with the camps and also did all the heavy lifting. At camp we had great meals and rested well in the comfortable tents. Our troupe leader Rashid is an outstanding guy. He took no chances with our health. Ensured that we had regular health checks, and made sure that we ate well. He would then brief us about the next day's section and the requirements. Getting to the summit was pretty tough and I doubt that we could have reached the summit without their support. I highly appreciate the support and great organization by Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari team. They are absolutely amazing!

Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route - We climbed Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route. Service, food and the crew were great. Without them reaching the summit would not be possible. Also Edward was really communicative and helpful. I would definitely recommend KWESA Tours.

Great Experience - Kilimanjaro - Our Kilimanjaro experience exceeded our expectations. Everything was well taken of by Teacher our host and lead guide during the successful attempt. Planning and payment went smoothly because we had all the information that we requested for from Teacher. He even organized for us to hire equipment at very reasonable fees. Teacher had a great team of guides including Brenton and Simon for the four of us, assisted by many porters and one cook. They supported all aspects of our trek and kept us in good health and high spirits. Teacher showed us interesting spots along the course to the summit, sharing different interesting accounts from past climbs. We learnt swahili, bongoflava and heard a lot about the different customs from the many tribes that make up Tanzania. This was a great experience and I recommend KWESA wholeheartedly.

Very professional operator, great experience - I booked the Kilimanjaro trek via Lemosho with KWESA and they did an amazing job. A super kind and very experienced guide, great food and excellent service. Everything was well organized. I also did other trips with this operator (safari, day trips) and it was always quite nice. I highly recommend this company!

10/10 5 gold stars - Before i had even booked the trek Edward and Lazaro were answering my questions amd giving me all the information i wanted regarding the trip/gear etc... I really appreciated that has i had a lot of queries. And has we were talking about something very important and expensive for me, it was useful that i understood as much as i could before actually arriving. When i arrived i was met by Brenton, a member of the porters team and also a driver who took me straight to the hotel where i met Edward, Edwards brother and the guide for me trip, William. There was a little bit of a break down of communication as they had thought that i wanted to start my trip on the 3rd of March with 2 other people but in fact i wanted to start a day earlier, to be in line with my flight out of Kili. But that, like everything else, was no problem. HAKUNA MATATA! My guide was happy to start the next day (the 2nd) and said that he'd check my gear then we'd head out for a walk around town. As i was going to stay in Africa for 4 months i didn't bring some of the gear, the big sleeping bag snd ski pants. Again no problem as you can rent everything you need and i had no issue with any of the equipment i rented. To the mountain! Simply put, it was fantastic. I did the Lemosho route in 6 days and not only was it absolutely stunning but i liked it as i was able to acclimatise well. Due to this i summited with little difficulty. I also had a great team that were all happy and friendly. All of them encouraging and by the time i got to camp for lunch or to stay the night my tent was set up and food was being prepared. The food by the way was great! Way better than i expected. My guide was always happy to answer my questions about the mountain and would give clear briefs the night before to make sure i knew what the following day entailed amd how we were going to approach it. The after party! So i had a few days after my climb as i had completed it sooner due to not needing an acclimatisation day. And during this time my guide Will was happy to show me some good places to have dinner, some good bars for a drink and even the local nightclub. This was a great experience and one that i was not expecting. All in all i had a successful climb and i was never in any doubt that i was being taken care of. I would absolutely recommend these guys for future tours
