Lemosho route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west. You will begin with a drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate.
Once you are here, you will spend your first two days trekking through the rainforest to Shira ridge. Lemosho is considered to be the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro. It is our favorite one, because it offers a perfect balance between low traffic, scenic views and a higher summit success (around 80%). Lemosho route is about 70km (42miles) long, from gate to gate.
Unlike the highly popular Machame route which simply brushes the Shira Plateau, Lemosho route goes across the entire plateau, from West to the East in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. The route takes more days to climb, so it offers great acclimatization opportunities.
- Travelers should have a strong physical fitness level

Conquering Kilimanjaro - Bless Africa Tours supported us in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosha Route over 8 days. From the initial contact and asking 100s of questions, to fetching us from the airport, to accommodation and the hike and back to hotel and airport transfers, they sorted it all for us. During the hike, there were2 guides, 1 cook and 7 porters for the 2 of us. The guides were super patient and motivating, the food was amazing, just what we needed before, during and after the hike. The porters moved and set up camp and assisted us with our rucksacks when we were super tired. We could not have asked for a more professional and personal team at Blessed Africa. I would go as far to recommend them to friends and family, that's how great they were.

Apto para domingueros - I highly recommend both trekking Mount Kilimanjaro and a safari tour with Bless Africa. The company is known for its exceptional organization, professionalism, and excellent customer service.
Our 8-day trek on the Lemosho route was led by Dani and Mac, who took great care of our physical condition and helped us acclimatize properly to face the challenging summit night.
After the climb, we enjoyed an unforgettable safari. Our guide Michael took excellent care of us and ensured we didn’t miss a thing.
Communication with Gody (previous and during the trip) was always ideal to adapt both our itinerary and to ensure an unforgettable experience

5 Stars for Bless Africa Tours - My dad and I did the 8 day Lemosho Route with Bless Africa Tours and had an amazing experience. Our guides Ricky and Danny were so much fun and very accommodating. I would highly recommend to request this duo! We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to help us safely reach the summit. They were very experienced guides and very knowledgeable, not just about the safety aspects of high altitude hiking, but of the history and flora and fauna of the mountain. I was very impressed and above anything will remember how our guides and the rest of the team made our trip so much more than reaching the summit.
The rest of the team was also amazing including our cook Johnny who made us amazing food and accommodated our special diets, including my dad who is a vegan.
Gody, the owner and former porter and guide on the mountain, was amazing, quickly responding to all of our emails and inquiries. He was very thorough and I knew before we arrived that everything would go smoothly. He put together such an amazing group of people and I knew he had our best interest at heart.
I would highly recommend going with Bless Africa Tours.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with Bless Africa Tours - My boyfriend and I (a group of 2) summited Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, and we had a wonderful experience with Bless Africa.
Our tour guides, Ricky and Danny, were very helpful and motivating throughout the entire journey. For example, they carried our day packs when we were sick and/or tired. My boyfriend was sick and craving Coca-Cola. Our guides coordinated with Bless Africa to bring cold medicine and Coca-Cola for us during the re-supply, and we were very impressed with how they took the initiative to maximize our comfort during the climb. Every night, Ricky and Danny would give us the most motivating talks, which really helped us gain confidence and set a positive mindset.
Our chef, Johnny, made delicious meals for us every day. There were great varieties of food, including fresh fruits, protein/meat, and vegetables. Every meal was delicious. 

Our porters were also great, and we are impressed by how speedy and efficient they are. Our tent is always set up before we arrive at the campsite. The porters took great care of our belongings.
Gody (manager) did an amazing job putting together a strong team of guides, porters, & chef. He is very responsive and communicates clearly.
My boyfriend and I are really glad that we chose Bless Africa. They went above and beyond our expectations. Bless Africa played a significant and crucial role in our success. We are honestly not sure if we would have had a successful summit if we have gone with a different tour company. Thank you Bless Africa for this wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Kilimanjaro Summit - I really enjoyed this trip, particularly because of their stellar service and their motivation to get us all to the top of the mountain. Food was spectacular - it was always hot and fresh, which made our days much better. They were extremely supportive in keeping us positive and ensuring that we had a smooth and safe hike up the mountain. They were also very accommodating, especially by making sure if you needed any extra assistance or more porters. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and safe adventure - and to cross Kilimanjaro off your bucket list!
Thank you for a great trip!

Would not do it any differently - The bless africa team went above and beyond to ensure our Kilimanjaro journey was not only successful but also enjoyable. Having guides and staff who treat you like family and go the extra mile, such as carrying day packs and providing additional support on the summit push night, truly made a phenomenal difference.
A well-organized and attentive team, including guides like Danny, Rick, and Frank, as well as the chef and porters, contributes significantly to the overall experience of such a challenging adventure. Team's dedication and attention to detail left us with a sense of satisfaction and made our climb more like a vacation than just a mountain climb.
The fact that the team took care of every detail, from hot food, ensuring all aspects of our camp were in orde and making every possible attempt at getting us to the summit reflects their commitment to customer satisfaction.
I would not do this any differently or with any other tour company.

The most flexible and support crew! - The Bless Africa team make you feel right at home with their warm hospitality and little touches to boost morale. They took care of almost everything from picking us up from the airport to dropping us off back to the airport after climbing the mountain.
Through out the climb the team prepared delicious food and subtle luxuries that we didn't not expect on the mountain.
The main highlight was the super encouraging and supportive nature of the entire team to want you to summit.
It was truly a remarkable experience!!

Unforgettable - Amazing experience as a 30s female traveling solo. The team was knowledgeable and I had an unforgettable Kilimanjaro summit. I had such a good time I booked a safari with the same company. Thank you!

Summit Kilimanjaro with the best! -
I had 8 days on the mountain and 4 days safari.
From my first enquiry I knew these guys were the best. Gody answered all my silly questions regardless of the time of day.
The accomodation provided in the tour was really nice, no complaints at all.
I had a private tour so the whole crew was dedicated to me and my assent. Danny was an exceptional guide. He was knowledgeable and perceptive and I couldn’t have done it without him. The food cooked by Johnny on the mountain was above and beyond what I expected. Obedi took such good care of me. And held my hand when I needed it. Jackson made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and he and Zawadi were amazing when I needed them the most. And Eli and Moses carried the loads of gear. I have so much respect for these men.
After a days rest I was off on safari with Joseph. One of the most incredible experiences, you just can’t describe how amazing these places and the animals that live in them are.
Trip of a lifetime. Lots of tour companies on the mountain, but these guys are the best!

Successfully Summited Kilimanjaro Thanks to Bless Africa - I had an amazing experience with Bless Africa, where I did a two-day safari and eight-day Lemosho climb. This is a locally-owned and run company that has thought through every detail the climb and safari experience to make sure our group enjoyed our time on the mountain and successfully summited Kilimanjaro - which we all did.
Bless Africa went above and beyond to keep us informed about the hiking plan and answer any questions/concerns we had; make sure were healthy and well fed with amazing meals and snacks throughout the day (everything from omelettes, to fish curry, to delicious soups and local cuisine); and ensure we were prepared with the right gear and mindset for the day ahead. Could not recommend them enough.
