Additional Information

The Lemosho path is highly favored by us due to the minimal traffic, captivating panorama and its high success rates for reaching the peak. The trip begins from the west side, starting with a lengthy drive from Moshi to the Londorossi Gate. From this point, the initial two days will be used to trek through the dense and vibrant rainforest until reaching the Shira Plateau. We advise dedicating at least 7 days to conquer this path for optimal acclimatization and increased chances of reaching the peak. The Lemosho path merges with the Machame route just past the Shira 2 Camp, then follows the same route along the southern circuit, finishing at the Mweka Gate.

Very good experience with Bless Africa - The experience of the Machame route with Bless Africa to climb Kilimanjaro was magnificent. Their entire team is very professional and they are nice people. Without the advice and help of their two excellent guides, McDonald and Joaquin, we would not have been able to climb Kilimanjaro the day we left at midnight. Their cook Joseph cooked us a very good and nutritious meal to successfully face the great physical effort. The day after the Machame route we went on a safari through Tarangire National Park, a park with baobab trees and many elephants and lions (which we saw very close). The guide we had, Shirima, was very professional and knew well where to find the animals. Bless Africa proved us a good Tanzania experience¡

Most amazing trip - Bless Africa was better than we could have ever imagined. They were extremely responsive, answering all our pre-trip questions and handled everything from picking us up at the airport, to making sure we had all the proper gear. Once we were on the mountain, they made the trip so fun, made us feel safe and did everything to ensure we got to the top (we all summited!). The food was so beyond delicious (and accommodated our numerous dietary restrictions), the guides were so thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable, and the whole team was so caring, fun and capable. We had an extra day at the end and Bless Africa offered to take us on a one-day safari to Tarangire National Park. Again, we were blown away by how seamless they made the whole experience, tailoring it to our timeline and needs. The park was beautiful, and we were able to see so many animals - leopards, elephants, giraffes, lions, and more, despite only being there for a relatively short period of time for a safari. Overall, Bless Africa’s kind, thoughtful service made this trip absolutely amazing. I feel so much love for this team!! They were beyond fantastic.

Once in a lifetime! - Once in a lifetime. For 20 years I have talked and dreamed of this climb of Kilimanjaro, it was the goal at 50 years to make this experience and it was totally worth it. Through a positive experience report from other Swiss I came across Bless Africa Tours and decided to book directly with this organizer on site in Moshi. Everything was perfect from A-Z, from the transfer from the airport to the hotel to the summit day and back. The sun has accompanied us 7 days, the stars seven nights and throughout a good mood in the group. Walking through the different vegetation zones with many photo stops and competent explanations about flora, fauna, history and local culture by my super guide Mack made this trek a uniquely educational experience, which I can highly recommend. Our group always chose a quiet, secluded campsite where it was easy to rest, eat and sleep. The food was excellent, the private toilet always clean, the service great and generally impressive the performance of all from guide to cook to especially the porters, who do a hard and not harmless work, thank you all. The daily stages are well chosen for the acclimatization and recovery, the final climb is hard and a huge relief when you reach the crater rim, the last meters to Kibo are then pure emotion, the dream landscape, the rising sun above the sea of clouds, the shining glaciers and eyes of the climbers let you forget the cool temperatures, you are like in a trance, unfortunately, the duration on the summit is limited because of the height and health. My guide Mack got to know my condition very well during the first few days and led me safely to the summit, brought his experience and without his help it would certainly have been difficult. He briefed me every night and checked my health. I can absolutely recommend Bless Africa Tours and who knows maybe I will come back with the family, not to Kilimanjaro but to Mt. Meru with safari.

Dream come true - Summiting Kilimanjaro - We joined the 7-day Lemosho Route tour and it is definitely a dream-come-true experience! We are super grateful to have this excellent team from Bless Africa Tours who helped us so much during the whole journey. Without them, we definitely could not make it to the top. Our guides, Danson and Joachim, are so professional and experienced that they knew what is most important to ensure a safe & success summit. They gave very useful briefing to us every night, especially the one before our summit night, which was so reassuring and encouraging that ease our worries. Danson set a perfect slow but constant pace for us so that we could keep going without any high altitude symptoms. Joachim and Somi (one of our porters who accompanied us for the summit) kept saying encouraging slogans and even sang & danced on our way up to help us remain awake & motivated! At last, we were able to reach Uhuru Peak early and watched the perfect sunrise from the peak! On the other hand, our chef, John, did an incredible job to make lots and lots of delicious foods despite in the wilderness! I particularly love his soups which helped us to keep warm at night! Obeid, the waiter, is such a gentle and pleasant guy. He served us well and made our stay comfortable, we had never expected to have hot water for washing every morning and evening! Jackson who took care of our private toilet also did a great job. A clean private toilet was very important especially at night time! Lastly, I would like to thank the whole team of porters including Obeid, Somi, Jackson, Elly, Innocent, Anderson and Elly Mbise as they’re the real hero! They always set our tents in the best location next to the start of the trail of the next day, and this is really helpful especially for the summit night! Despite their tiring and hard work, they always gave us a warm greeting with a large smile on the face whenever they saw us. They welcomed us with songs and dance when we returned from the summit, making that one of the most touching and memorable moments as I saw them sharing the happiness and excitement with us. We are so grateful to have this amazing team and we have nothing to complain. We would definitely recommend Bless Africa to everyone who wish to have an unforgettable experience in Kilimanjaro!

Successful summit at 64 y.o. - The guides and porters made the hike to the summit possible and made it fun. Even this 64 year old who does not climb mountains succeeded thanks to excellent guides. If I did it again I would use a Camelback for water.

Highly recommend Bless Africa - I booked the Lemosho route trek with Bless Africa, and couldn't have been happier with the trip and the entire experience! At the office and before/after the trip, Gody the owner is very kind, organized, and professional. On the mountain, the whole support crew did an incredible job to make sure I was always comfortable: my guide, Thomas, was so positive, warm-hearted and was a joy to be around while also teaching me so much; Joseph, the chef, made delicious fresh food with huge portions so I always had more than enough to eat; and Hashim, the waiter, along with the rest of the porter crew were all so nice, friendly, and attentive - I felt so spoiled! I also was able to do a 2-day safari with Bless Africa to see both Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. So glad I was able to add this in as I was able to see so many different animals I've never seen before. My guide on the sarafi was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and I was able to learn so many new things about wildlife as well as about Tanzania in general. All in all, if you're looking for positive and professional experience on Mt. Kili & beyond, Bless Africa is an amazing choice! Even better that they're family-owned and local to Moshi!

Great experience on the Lemosho treck - The Bless Africa team was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was super lovely and welcoming, I felt very looked after the entire time on the mountain. Everything exceeded my expectations, the food, the organization and the thoughtfulness of the whole crew! Gody is such a nice Person. Before the treck he was responding very fast to my questions, giving me all the information I needed. He even came to the Hotel when I checked in 2 days before the treck just to have a chat and to see if I have more questions. The day before the treck him and the guide Mackdonald came to Check my Equipment and to do the Briefing before the treck. During the Treck the whole Team was Just amazing. The food cooked by Joseph was delicious, im still wondering how he managed to cook those dishes in the mountain. Hashim was super nice, taking Care of me very well. The guide Mackdonald was great. He was sharing his knowledge about Flora and Fauna and he is great in spotting animals! He shared stories about the mountain, culture etc. He always made sure that I am doing okay, drink enough water, take some breaks and giving a helping hand whenever it was needed. I really enjoyed the hikes, chats and laughs. At summit night the porter Rasta was joining us as well. Both of them were just the sweetest, really looking after me. The feeling on top of the mountain was just pure happiness. Going down is always a little problematic for me, but Mackdonald and Rasta gave me a good feeling being so relaxed and motivating. Im really glad I picked Bless Africa and would definately book with them again!

Amazing Company - Worth it every $! - Overall there‘s nothing to complain about Bless Africa Tours. Gody is a nice guy in the office. Available nearly 24/7 on WhatsApp, so if there are questions about the trip, you‘ll get all informations quickly. He‘s gonna pick you up at the airport, and will drive you to your stay. On the mountain there are exceptional guides, especially Danny and GoodLuck. Both really nice guides with great experience. We‘ve got a great time with both of them. But also the complete Team (including Porters, waiter and the chef John) is amazing. The food is most of the time even better, than in a Resort or Hotel. Even more with the fact, that John didn‘t have a normal kitchen in his tent. So if you need a quick summary: If you decide to hike on Kilimanjaro -> your first choice has to be Bless Africa Tours!

Amazing experience (climbing Kilimanjaro! - Booked the 6 day Machame route with Bless Africa. Everything went as planned. Very nice that everything (pick up, hotel nights before and after were included as well. This saves a lof of hassle. They were very punctual. Also the communication before the trip was good. It was easy to ask questions and would get an answer very fast. The tour itself very nice. Everything was as planned. The crew was extremely nice. Its insane how hard these people work. After every day arriving at the camp, they managed to set up all tents and to have a nice meal prepared, which was a lot! :) They made us feel very safe and calm in doing this exciting trip. They made it one to remember and can definitely recommend the company. Once again, amazing, hard working people!

My experience overall was GREAT, from the owner of Bless Africa Tours to the knowledgeable guides and the porters. - Favorite part was reaching the challenging Stella Peak on summit night. The orange strip above the clouds as the sun was ready to rise was epic!!!
