Additional Information

Lemosho Route:

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. 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.

“Couldn't asked for a better group of guides, pleasant, courteous, friendly and helpful” - I had an excellent experience climbing for 7 days Lemosho route in March 2021 with Exceed Expectations Tours team. I contacted this agency and found them very helpful also very flexible as I was unsure of my climbing dates. Oscar told me about his company and I was glad to read other previously clients outstanding reviews from trip-advisor. The cooker, waiter, and porters all did an amazing job. It truly a group effort. The food was better than many restaurants I have eaten across the nations and the equipment was in great condition. We did find certain phases of the climb quite challenging, but every staff member were always willing to help in their own way, by being patient and allowing us to rest, temporarily lightening the load of our day-packs, helping us to stay hydrated. I truly believe that Exceed Tours team is the best among climbing company and they will do everything possible to offer a positive experience and make your trip unforgettable one.

“Trek under rain, sun and stars for 7 Days Lemosho Route” - It’s a great choice especially when you travel to Africa. The route is great and they were nice many moments for 9 days at Kilimanjaro. We spoke to a lot of agencies before found Exceed Expectations Tours on TripAdvisor forum, and i have to admit they were a right choice for us! Our guide have decades of experience in trekking Kili, he was a great help for our achievement. Our porters and guide were passionate and very helpful throughout, truth to be told they are Center of entire adventure. Me and 6 friends went on this adventure together and thoroughly enjoyed it very much. My advice for other climbers will be about timing to climb Kilimanjaro, the great season to trek will be July to December before the snow fall. You can also trek in winter time provided you have a proper accessories. However, I do not recommend trekking in rainy season. I think Lemosho Route should be in the bucket list of any kili climber lover. Thanks Exceed Expectations Tours, you real exceeded our expectations!😍

Wake up Eat, Hike, Chats and Laugh! 7 Days Lemosho Route with Exceed Expectations Tours - It was an unusual hour of climbing, dynamic and interesting, it’s not like a slow leg stops under the manuals from the pole-pole guides of Exceed Expectations Tours, but quite an active action by legs and hands. It’s getting cold here, here’s a stretch, and here’s a leg stronger to kick it was very interesting part of the route. Later on we reached at Karanga Camp, and it gave us this great view of the city of Moshi below us we stay there for one more day. I remember standing at the rock ‘cellphone rock’ I’m calling it that because there was reception here, so people kept scrambling up to text their loved ones that they’re fine. After overcoming the wall, we reach at Uhuru peak point and up there we rejoiced, laughed and joking with this hour of adventure. Couldn’t have done it without the help of mazing guys, what a bunch of people, porters, guides who literary risked there are life to help us live our dreams. Special thanks to this amazing team from this professional company which am so sure you will be fine too when you summit Kilimanjaro with them. I wish to see you some other time and definitely was amazing adventure and you’re missed already.

Africa is Magic!! With Exceed Expectations Tours - After travelling for the past 4 years, I finally got to share a bucket list moment with my partner in adventure at the roof of Africa. A life experience that’s worth all the blood sweat and tears. The temperature of the air in this region of Africa is more than comfortable, in general the conditions are maximum close to the perfect. In the forest of Kilimanjaro via Marangu Route we climbed through it until we got to the top, there were monkeys swinging from branches and songs heard from miles away in the silent forest, sung by porters carrying packs of supplies to camps above. Here’s one taking a break. Each and every porter on this mountain met me with a smile and Kiswahili greeting, despite their far more difficult job than mine. We went for a 3 Days Safari Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Parks after climbing Kilimanjaro, waking up and having wild elephants walking around your camp in the Serengeti national park was amazing, I realize Africa had such a beautiful and diverse great place to be in the world. This will be one of our biggest trips to date, What a fantastic 10 days it has been, filled with dramatic vistas, stunning sunrise and sunsets, and an action packed safari. A big thank you to our wonderful mountain and safari family @Exceed Expectations Tours for supporting us all the way to the Roof of Africa.
