Guest Comment
We had such a great time with our guides on the Kili climb and safari! On the climb, our lead guide set a pace for us that helped ensure we reached the summit. At all times, I felt we were very well cared for. Our guide, Kambona, demonstrated his knowledge of using the safety equipment (e.g., hyperbaric chamber, oxygen) brought on the climb. Fortunately, we didn't need it! Our guide was not only very experienced, knowledgeable and trained as a mountain medic, he was fun, and an absolute joy to travel with. I would strongly recommend choosing Deeper Africa to climb Kili and/or for a safari.

Lemosho Route
12-Day Kilimanjaro Trek, 8 Days on the Mountain, 2 Days Acclimatization
Trip Overview
At 19,340 feet (5,890 meters), the great massif of Kilimanjaro looms above the cloud forest, crowned with snow. It is an imposing sight and a challenging trek, but a trek that anyone in good condition can complete when the pace is adjusted responsibly to accommodate increasing altitude. We limit our treks to the western side of the mountain, far away from the tourist crowds. The Lemosho Route is a highly scenic, lesser-traveled route that offers additional time for acclimatization and trekking warm-up compared to other popular routes.
Our Lemosho Route is eight days on the mountain with two days before the trek for acclimatization. Your climb is carefully paced and our guide's wisdom and experience assist you each day in reaching your goal. (Our guide, Kambona Ole Tirra, has achieved over 112 summits but who's counting?) It's a combination of Kambona's expertise plus careful acclimatization that give our guests a 98% summit success rate. Talk to us about adding on a safari extension, exploring the hidden world of Ngorongoro Crater or the vast Serengeti.
