Great company made up of wonderful people!
We had an absolutely stellar time with Solely Tours. Four friends and I summited Kili via thé Lemosho route at the end of June and every moment was a joy thanks to the team Solely Tours put together. Every person was an integral part of the experience - from the porters to the guides and everyone in between. As a group of women, we particularly appreciated having a female guide and female porters. Solely Tours may be a new company but it is a great one, and you can be sure you’re in good hands adventuring up Kili with them. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi Emily, thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear that you had a nice time climbing Kilimanjaro with us and we are happy that you appreciated our female guide and porters. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of Kilimanjaro and we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all of our clients. We are so grateful for your recommendation. Welcome again

Great experience!!
The trek was incredible. Our entire group of 5 made it to the summit thanks to the expertise of the guides. The porters treated us like a family and we felt like we were living in luxury, given hot water to wash our face/hands every night on arrival at camp. The hike itself is a good route for acclimating to the altitude. One thing to note - our tour did not include the cost of the park fees, which come to an additional ~$970 per person. Also, the tipping situation came as a surprise- it is expected to tip each person individually (porters, chef, etc.) rather than providing a lump sum. It would be good to bring extra cash to avoid confusion at the end of the trip. Overall a terrific experience and would love to do the trek again with solely in the future.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We are happy that your group of 5 successfully reached the summit, thanks to our guides. We're also glad to hear that you felt like part of our family. Regarding the park fees and tipping, we appreciate your feedback. We will work on making this clearer for future travelers. We're so glad you had a terrific experience and would be honored to have you trek with us again in the future. If you decide to return, we'll ensure an even smoother journey. Thank you once again for choosing us for your adventure.

Hiking Kilimanjaro
its one thing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and it’s another to get a good company to do it with you. Tanzania solely tours is the right company for you. they showed me the true meaning of adventure and what it means to have fun while climbing the highest peak in Africa. it was so great that I’m thinking of doing it again, hopefully soon.

BEST 8 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE
Climbing kilimanjaro using Lemosho route made my holiday perfect, I was a bit reluctant to do it but I was so glad I revolted and decided to challenge myself anyway. I had the most intelligent guide and helpful team that made my hike not seem as difficult as I thought it would be, the food offered was tasty and nutrious, I learnt a new thing on each day from the diverse beautiful landscape to the magnificent combination of plants on our trail. The weather was perfect also but I have to give the most credit to the best team that helped me from the start to the summit and even took time to check on me after the climb was done , I was deeply touched by that! I cant wait to take another kilimanjaro climbing and combine it Tanzania Safari with the same company.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for reviewing us. We appreciate every feedback from our customers. climbing mount Kilimanjaro opens up lots of opportunities and adventurous experiences even for first-time climbers. we are glad you liked the team that supported you and we hope to arrange another Kilimanjaro trekking adventure in the near future

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $2,297 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7 Days Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro Climbing | Solely Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
