Lemosho Route: Approaching from the west, the Lemosho route is a relatively new route and is one of the best for scenery. It is one of our highly recommended routes, not only for its stunning scenery, but also due to its steady incline and better acclimatization. The first two days of the climb are quiet and have relatively low traffic, before joining the more popular Machame route. Time period is 7days and 8days.

Incredible experience with great Service!!!
Absolutely great!!! I'm totally thrilled. Communication with GoldenSummit was quick and easy at all times. All my questions were clarified in advance via email and WhatsApp. The organization was top from front to back. I was picked up from the airport by the organizer and my guide and driven to a nice hotel. The next day we started to Kilimanjaro. I booked the 9-day Lemosho route with overnight stay at the crater. Thanks to COVID, I was all alone. The team consisted of 7 men who accompanied me on Kilimanjaro. I felt very comfortable as a woman on my own during the whole tour. The Service was great all around and they took great care that I was well. Even after the tour Elly asked again if everything was to my satisfaction. The experience of standing on top of the summit is incredibly beautiful and hard to put into words. I would recommend it to anyone, whether alone, with friends or family. I would book GoldenSummit again anytime.
Response from the operator: Hello Nine, Thank you! We really appreciate the time you spent to write a review with great recommendation of Golden Summit Adventures. It is wonderful to hear that the team and service you received was excellent and congratulations on making the climb. It was our pleasure to make sure you were comfortable and happy. We hope to see you again soon. We wish you the best of luck in your travel! From the whole team at Golden Summit.

Really impressed female guide and porters on Kilimanjaro Mountain.
Thanks to all Golden summit team they are really good organized all time taking care of us really feel like part of their family. We did the 8 days Lemosho route to the summit, which was perfect for everybody. The trip was amazing and life changing for us all. Our group of 9 climbers all reached the summit on a clear and breathtaking morning, as the sun broke over Mt. Kilimanjaro. Every day we have a delicious surprise from our best and best chef Mapenzi. I was impressed by it. Three times a day a warm healthy and tasty dish. During all day walking our guides Mtei, Laraha, Frenk and Lulu was close to us and be sure we were safe and make our dream came true and read Uhuru Peak. Were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and positive. They really knew the mountain, and took excellent care of us. We’ve learned a lot about the country, Kilimanjaro, vegetation and the culture. Our porters were also amazing. Were all extremely helpful, friendly and funny. Every time we arrived at a new camp, each porter made us feel welcome and at home. One thing that really impressed us about Golden Summit Adventures was having female GUIDE AND PORTERS. We were the only group I saw who had female porters in our crew and 1 of them works as a guide for the company. She was treated very good. A heart-felt thanks to Elly and his most excellent organization Golden Summit Adventures. We will definitely visit them again. The experience was life changing and I recommend them to all who plan on visiting Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or going Safari.

Anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari.
Golden Summit Adventures took very good care of myself and my husband from the airport pickup to the top of Kilimanjaro and also in Safari. My husband and I celebrated our 10-years anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and 6 days Safari. Our international airline cancelled our original flight and we ended up arriving in Dar es Salaam instead of Kilimanjaro one day earlier. Elly suggested alternatives for us; he gave us two options one is to find another flight from Dar to Kilimanjaro or to send the car to pick up in Dar es Salaam to Moshi, we choose them to come and pick up us there; 7 hrs driving we enjoy the trip. I can't say enough good things about GSA and our best best crew we have; they went over and above always making sure that we were comfortable and kept a steady pace during the trek and Safari. The Mountain tents and Safari tents were in best quality. All the equipment we used was in a better condition and we had a small seating area with a table inside filled with condiments. We also slept quite comfortably because the sleeping mattress was thick and of good quality it was unexpected. We were very glad to choose this company because also they are very flexible and were able to accommodate two last-minute changes of plans. There was no hope of me achieving my aim without him. Well done and thanks again Golden Summit Adventures, you were amazing......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. All the best all team, all the best GSA, We wish to see you again….!!!

Kilimanjaro with Golden Summit Adventures
Next day morning we met our guides meet us to the hotel for briefing and check our equipment and for the equipment that we needed which was by the way top notch.I should say we had more choice is colors. Our tent was very clean and always secure. Sleeping bags and mattress pads were excellent. Our crew kept us entertained on evenings as well as on Summit night with his singing. The team took care of all our needs, including providing iodine treated drinking water, hot water for washing and water packs to keep warm in the nights. I have to say massive thank you to Elly and his entire team as well as to Golden Summit Adventure. Elly is very passionate about her company and employees. I have noticed great respect to each other. The trek itself was incredible and made me glad I had chosen Golden Summit Adventures. Our team of 14 did an 8 Days Lemosho trek and summited with 100% success even a woman in her 70s made it. Even more impressive not a single member suffered altitude sickness. I attribute this to the careful management of the guides. Made it to the top only because of Golden Summit Adventures. Would recommend them anytime.
Response from the operator: Hello Maria. We are so glad that you enjoyed climb Mount Kilimanjaro with us and that you appreciated the skills and efforts of our Team. We are very glad to here our equipment was more than perfect. Congratulations for making the top and fulfill your dreams. We are so pleased to hear that felt so well supported and cared for during your climb and all the assistance they provided. We are very grateful for your recommendation. Kind Regard. Elly (CEO) Golden Summit

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 Days Lemosho Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 8 Days Lemosho Route cost?
+
Prices start at $2,100 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 8 Days Lemosho Route take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 8 Days Lemosho Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 8 Days Lemosho Route?
+
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 8 Days Lemosho Route suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Days Lemosho Route?
+
Around 2 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Days Lemosho Route 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.
What is included in 8 Days Lemosho Route?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 8 Days Lemosho Route include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 8 Days Lemosho Route offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 8 Days Lemosho Route?
+
