Additional Information

Your journey begins with a roughly 4-hour drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate, which marks the entry point on the western flank of Mt. Kilimanjaro. From here, the route unfolds, leading you to the iconic Shira Plateau, where your extraordinary adventure will encompass traversing diverse climate zones, ranging from alpine meadows to the realm of perpetual ice.

Exceptional 8 days Lemosho to remember - My girlfriend and I had an amazing time in our Kilimanjaro Climbing being accompanied by the Kilimanjaro Guru Crew. Throughout the 8 days we never ever had a moment where we didn't receive support when needed or our questions were not answered. Overall the crew did an exceptional effort and great service to make our trip better than we could have dreamed of. Imran and Jamal are great guides with lots of experience in doing the Kilimanjaro Climb. Imran did a great job in consulting which route is the best for our wishes and was flexible when we re-considered. During the trip we always kept good trekking pace and they were picking good spots for breaks and acclimatisatipn. In situations of fear or frustration, Imran and Jamal always had either the right materials (food, clothes) or the right mindset to help us re-focus. They both know every corner, every animal and plant species so you can learn a lot from them. Also we had good fun with them every day which made the longlasting trip a lot easier. What makes the crew special as well are the Porters. The 9 other men accompanying us gave great service. They were always on time with tent building, food preparation and serving. Plus we enjoyed being with these open and funny characters. Especially the chef made this trip great, because the food was nutritious and healthy - just ideal for trekking. In general, they work very well as a team and we had great fun with them learning the Swahili language, enjoying nature or playing cards at the camp. Also, in moments where we needed a rest, they let us alone without any inconvenience. In sum, we can highly recommend doing the Lemosho Route with Kilimanjaro Guru. The route itself brings you Kilimanjaro National Park and its variety very close in a stunning way. The hiking was easy to medium difficult, but with the crew every hurdle of that trip was supported when we wanted. After the trip we had a fantastic lunch to end our journey together.
