    Excellent service, very friendly, caring and polite.

    Sote Tours and Travel provided an incredible Kilimanjaro experience from start to finish. The planning process was very easy and organized they offered us the best price compared to other agencies we contacted, and the staff was responsive to all my questions and provided support all the time, I had a pre-trek meeting at the hotel with Kelvin to discuss our trek and continue checking on me throughout my trip. Our guides Seba and Charles were both knowledgeable, professional, and very supportive, especially during some of the more difficult sections of the 8 day trek. They were great ambassadors for their country and provided us with culturally relevant insights throughout our trip. They were very strict in watching our health references and at the same time they kept the team spirit up in difficulty times. The porters worked hard on the task, literally carrying most of the things, preparing the camping area, and generally ensuring that everything we needed was ready when we arrived at the camp. The Lemosho route was more scenic. The food served during the trek was plentiful and fresh and was very diverse for a high-altitude expedition. Climbing Uhuru Peak was an exhilarating accomplishment to achieve, but without Sote Tours staff's dedication, teamwork, and professionalism, we would not have reached such a monumental achievement. Overall, I would highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel for one of the best organized trekking experiences as well as having the most reliable and supportive staff to ensure a very successful trek to the summit of Africa.

    Response from the operator: Dear Mattiesko, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable Kilimanjaro experience with our team. It’s great to know that Kelvin, your guides Seba and Charles, and the entire crew supported you well throughout the Lemosho trek. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff, organization, and service. Congratulations on reaching Uhuru Peak, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Tanzania. Warm Regards, Goodluck M

    Exceptional 5 Day Safari & 8 Day Kilimanjaro Trek

    Our latest trip with Sote Tours was from the very beginning up to the end just perfect. The staff outdid themselves right from the planning stage up to the actual service for a once in a lifetime experience. Our organizer Kelvin was fantastic. He replied very quickly, and his answers to all of our questions were thorough and timely. He went above and beyond, picking us up from the airport at midnight, which made us feel really welcome and taken care of, and he created a comprehensive schedule based on our tastes. The Safari Experience Our five-day safari was truly unforgettable. Reuben, our guide, was not only an expert but also a delight to be with. In a surprisingly short time, he showed us an amazing array of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs, while sharing captivating insights about the animals and their habitats. His enthusiasm for the Serengeti and extensive knowledge of the ecosystem made the experience even more rewarding. The accommodations we had during our safari were fantastic comfortable, well-located, and providing excellent service. We especially enjoyed the peaceful surroundings after our long days of exploration. The Kilimanjaro Climb The 8 day trek via the Lemosho Route was an unforgettable adventure. Our mountain guides, Sebastian and Idd, were outstanding. Their expertise about the mountain, the terrain, and how to acclimatize to the altitude was remarkable. They kept us motivated, prioritized our safety, and reminded us to stay hydrated a piece of advice that significantly boosted our energy levels. The porters truly were the unsung heroes of our journey. Their commitment and hard work shone through each day. We were continually impressed to find our tents already set up at each camp when we arrived, and their warm smiles and encouraging words lifted our spirits, even during the toughest moments. Final Thoughts This trip was not just an adventure; it was a heartfelt journey filled with care, professionalism, and unforgettable moments. The team at Sote Tours took care of every detail, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania. For anyone thinking about a safari or a Kilimanjaro climb, we highly recommend Sote Tours. Their exceptional service and dedicated team turned our dream trip into a reality. Thank you, Sote Tours for the memories that will last a lifetime.

    Don’t think twice, go with Sote Tours!!

    Before we had decided which operator to choose, we were pleasantly delighted by Sote Tours & Travel rapid responses and great customer service all the time during the booking process. We climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route for 8 days with a group of 7 adults and 2 teenagers, this is a fantastic organization that is quite competent and set up a thorough and well-planned trip to Mount Kilimanjaro. The first day, Kelvin met us just outside the airport, and after 45 minutes transfer to Moshe, we met our guide Sebastian at the hotel and checked our climbing gears and briefed us about the mount Kilimanjaro and what to expect during the trekking days. It was a challenging trek, unbelievable and exhausting experience, but the Sote Tours staff made the experience safe and fun. We all made it to the top of Kilimanjaro the entire team were so supportive and encouraging. The camp was set up each day by the time we reached our destination, also we had delicious hot meals and appreciated the variety of food options. My favorite were the breakfast crepes, If Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list - book with Sote tours :)

    Response from the operator: Hi dragomirg830, We are grateful for your five-star rating, which enables other potential customers to learn how well our company meets its clients' expectations. We also value the time and content you took to write this wonderful review. Once again, thank you for praising our business and telling other travelers who might be considering climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to choose us. We pledge to keep giving top-notch service. Regards, Goodluck M

    Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.

    How much does Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,600 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route?

    +

    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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route?

    +

    Included: Sleeping Mattress; Emergency first-aid kit; (2 nights of accommodation in Moshi Bed and Breakfast); Fair and Sustainable Salary for crew as approved by KINAPA; and Drinking water and full board meals on the mountain. Not included: Flights; Visa fees; Travel or Medical Insurance is required and you should ask for Recommendation; and Medication. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 151 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 600 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Kilimanjaro Climb- 8 Days Lemosho Route if the weather is bad?

    +
