7 Day Mount Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route Trek

Hotel Accommodation: Before and after the climb, guests stay at a comfortable Parkview Inn hotel in Moshi, with a private room, bed, bathroom and breakfast and good view of the city.

Mountain Camps: During the trek, guests sleep in mountain tents at designated camps along the Lemosho Route. Our team provides the tents, sleeping arrangements and camp setup. Shared toilet facilities are available at most camps, and nights can be very cold at higher elevations. Our mountain cook prepares fresh meals, and the crew helps make the camping experience as comfortable as possible.

Professional Mountain Guide

Your trek will be led by an experienced local Kilimanjaro mountain guide who knows the Lemosho Route, its camps and changing mountain conditions. The guide will lead the group at a steady pace, explain the different mountain environments, monitor the group’s condition and provide guidance throughout the climb. Our mountain crew will also support you with camp arrangements, meals and daily preparations as we work together towards the summit.

Languages Available

Guiding services may be available in English, Turkish, Spanish, German, Chinese and French. Please request your preferred language when making a booking so we can confirm guide availability before your trek.

During the climb, our mountain cook prepares fresh, filling meals to help you keep your energy up each day. Breakfast usually includes porridge, eggs, bread, fruit, tea or coffee. Lunch may be a hot meal at camp or a packed lunch on the trail, depending on the day’s route. Dinner is served at camp and usually includes soup, rice, potatoes, pasta, vegetables and other energy-rich foods.

On summit night, we provide a light snack and hot drinks before the climb, with additional food arranged around the summit schedule. After the long descent, a warm meal at camp helps you recover. Drinking water is provided during the trek and prepared by the crew for safe consumption.

What Travellers Should Know

Kilimanjaro is a high-altitude mountain, and the trek requires good preparation, suitable clothing and proper hiking boots. Travellers must arrange insurance that specifically covers trekking at this altitude and emergency evacuation. Please tell us about any dietary requirements before arrival and bring the personal equipment listed in your pre-trek information.

Our team will explain the route, help you prepare and guide you through the climb. The safety of the group comes first, so the guide may adjust the pace or itinerary if weather, trail conditions or a climber’s health require it. Reaching the summit cannot be guaranteed.

If you are unsure whether a service is included, please confirm with Kiwia Africa Tours before making your booking.

All travellers are strongly advised to arrange comprehensive travel insurance before travelling to Tanzania. For the Mount Kilimanjaro trek, your insurance must specifically cover high-altitude trekking up to 6,000 metres, emergency medical treatment, mountain rescue and emergency evacuation.

For Kilimanjaro Trek and other activities, travellers should make sure their policy covers the activities included in their itinerary, along with medical expenses, trip cancellation and unexpected travel disruptions where applicable.
