Prices and availability checked
Until the Northern Circuit opened recently, the Lemosho Route was widely considered to be the overall best route to climb Kilimanjaro. It combines all the best feature of the Machame route in terms of success rate but, by starting further round to the West, it takes you up and over the spectacular Shira Plateau, while at the same time avoids the crowds on the early part of the Machame route. Over 8 days, you have a fantastic journey and a great chance of summiting successfully. The Lemosho route is considered one of the most scenic trail on the Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on almost all sides of the mountain. Being one of the newer routes, Lemosho is definitely an excellent choice for your climb.
What you get
- Private transportation
- Hot Water For Wash
- Fair Wages to Guides, Cook and Porters

KSE is simply the best!
We had an unforgettable time ! During our Kilimanjaro climb we had the best team ever. They took care of us in an incredible WY, supported us and motivated us. The chef even prepared fresh delicious vegetarian meals for one of our group. Our guide was very knowledgeable and always checked our health conditions which is so important on this mountain. The safari was amazing and perfect to combine this experiences together. I can really highly recommend Shungu and his team from Kilimanjaro Safari Experience! KSE Tanzania is simply the best!

Lemosho route Kilimanjaro
Shungu arranged the best experience for both of us. He put together a perfect team of experienced people who made my and cousin feel like family. Each and every one went above and beyond. I can’t thank enough for their hospitality. Don’t go though anyone else, Shungu is the man. Great communication and warmth. Blessings to the most life changing experience

Awesome
We had an awesome time with Kilimanjaro Safari Experience in Moshi, Tanzania! Me and my wife did the Machame Route up to the top of Kilimanjaro, highest point in Africa and it will be one of my best memories of life. Most because of the fantastic group of hikers, porters and the best of all: the guides. If you plan to go there ask for Isihaku, Godluck and Emanuel to be your guides and the lovely Makame that served us all meals during these days and they all spread happiness and you felt really secure with them. After Kilimanjaro we went on a two day zafari, there we had with us two persons from the hiking group, our favorite brittish couple Mark and Sally. We had the pleasure to be guided by the great Evarist that showed us a lot of animals like lion, elephants, girafe and many more. The hotels we stayed at both in Moshi and by the zafari were amazing and we fully enjoyed them. I have nothing to complain about during the whole vaccation, everything went really good from we boarded the plane (Turkish Airlines) in Sweden until we were back in United States.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How does Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days compare to similar tours in Moshi?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Moshi, with an Outty Ranking of 70. At $500 it costs less than the typical similar option ($3,530), so it is strong value. Best for travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans.
Who is Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days best for?
+
It suits travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 192-hour length, minimum age of 1 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $500, below the $3,530 typical for similar experiences in Moshi.
How much does Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days cost?
+
Prices start at $500 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 Lemosho Route 8 days 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 Lemosho Route 8 days 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 3 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 Lemosho Route 8 days?
+
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 8 days suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route 8 days?
+
Around 1 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 Lemosho Route 8 days 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.
