Magical trekking and safari
Once in a lifetime experience. Wild Root guides were wonderful. Julius and David, our guides made sure we were safe and well taken care of. The porters and crew were so nice and helpful. Our chef Hudson was the most amazing chef ever. The food was beyond delicious. We could not reach the Kilimanjaro summit without the constant support and encouragement of our guides, porters and crew. After trekking we went for safari which is so amazing. Salim our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. We saw big 5s and so much more. Totally recommend this company. They are owned by a local and give their business to locals. They are very helpful, supportive and professional.
Response from the operator: Hi, Zora Was great to have you guys in our company and making sure you have unforgettable adventures climbing Kilimanjaro as well as safari, thank you so much for your great review and hopefully you will be our ambassador in the USA.

Amazing Trekking company / wonderful safari
We had an amazing time with Wild Root safari back in February. We did the 8 day Lemosho route and it was amazing. Our guides Julius and David were so professional and knowledgeable. The porters, chef and crew were so friendly and supportive. We couldn’t reach the summit without their support and encouragement. The quality of the equipments ( our tents, sleeping bags,..) were top notch. The food was outstanding and delicious. We also enjoyed the safari after our trekking and it was one in a lifetime experience. Totally recommend this professional and experienced company. They are local people and support the local community as well. We truly enjoy our trip and it wasn’t possible without Wild Root .

Supported in so many ways
We were so happy with our Wild Root Kilimanjaro Trekking Adventure! Our guides were stellar- Kennedy and Noel were knowledgeable and very honest, encouraging and supportive. They work very well together as a team. Both of them were very observant, and good at balancing safety and success. They were really helpful in preparing us day-by-day for each leg of the trek. They got to know us quite quickly, and were able to tailor their guidance accordingly . The support staff were also incredible! A HUGE KUDOS goes to Robert, the camp manager, for keeping everything in perfect order and for making sure all our needs were met. He also joined us to the summit, sharing the duties of holding our packs, along with the guides. Without him, I wouldn’t have made it to the top! I also wouldn’t have made it down, unless he had called on some of our porters to help me out! A special thanks to Michael, Damien, and Richard! The food was great, and Idris, our stomach engineer, catered to our favourites, and to my partner’s multiple food allergies! WOW! Not easy! Everything was always ready for us for our arrival, including the toilet, which was always kept clean! There were no issues with the tent or sleeping mats/bags. Would highly recommend! Especially because they’re a LOCAL company, run by locals versus an American or European outfitter. I like my money going to those who live there and support you!

Kili hike and dance
This Lemosho Route to Uhuru Peak was with my group of 7 friends. The most difficult and highest climb so far for me and with the fantastic guidance and commitment by the guides, our team managed to achieve 100% success. The guides did what I felt the most encouraging was the team singing on the summit day their awesome voice was powerful and boosted our energy, where Elise and I were grasping for air, this was the push factor for us to reach Stellar Point and then to the Summit. Special thanks to big mama, Lucia, David, Mweta, Kenneth, Robert, Richard, Ezekiel and our personal supports Boney, Issac, Joyce, etc. Of course, many thanks too to Matthew for all his assistance and help in making our trip a fantastic experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this great feedback, what an unforgettable adventure delivered that makes unforgettable trip to Tanzania.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kilimanjaro Climb- Lemosho Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Kilimanjaro Climb- Lemosho Route cost?
+
Prices start at $3005 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha 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- Lemosho Route take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Arusha is not rushed.
Is Kilimanjaro Climb- Lemosho Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kilimanjaro Climb- 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- Lemosho Route suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Arusha 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 Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kilimanjaro Climb- 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 Arusha 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 Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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 Arusha?
+
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 Arusha?
+
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.
