Additional Information

The 8-day Lemosho journey up Kilimanjaro is optimal for acclimatization. This less-traveled and scenic route leads to the Shira Plateau. Although the Lemosho route can be completed in a minimum of 6 days, we highly advise dedicating 8 days to the journey. The extra 8th day affords your body more time to adjust to the altitude, which can lessen the impact of altitude sickness and provide added rest before making the summit attempt.

Oh yeah !! - Very nice experience with our guide Patrick and his team on the Lemosho route. The trek was fantastic and the team is a real family. Mr Delicious, our cook is probably the best cook of the Kilimanjaro !! Thanks for everything !!

Best Tour Company for Kilimanjaro! - Tanzania Joy Tours provided an all-around exceptional experience! Patrick (the Guide) and his "Dream Team" made sure all details were taken care of to ensure a successful summit. Patrick is a very experienced guide, and was able to make adjustments along the way to ensure that I was able to make it to Uhuru. The quality of the meals was exceptional, and there was always more than I could possibly eat. The attention to detail was very good - even though we had rain and snow 6 out of 7 days, the team kept the inside of my tent clean and dry. Exceptional communications from TJ Tours both before and after the climb! I highly recommend TJ Tours - ask for Patrick and his "Dream Team"!
