Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route 8 Days

Book with Kilimanjaro Brothers you won’t be disappointed

I cannot praise Kilimanjaro Brothers enough for the amazing trip up Kilimanjaro. The organisation was great from the start and guides and porters tremendous. The company is run by a local who worked his way up from porter, to guide to starting own firm and most of guides have worked there for a long time as like the way it is run. We had a private tour with myself (60yrs old) and my two sons. The guides Abel, Emanuel and Elle were fabulous. Very experienced and Elle especially looked after me and made sure that we were going at a very slow pace that was achievable to me as the goal was for us all to make the summit which we did. One of my trekking poles snapped on day 2 and Elle gave me his to use. All of the guides expertise and assistance really made the difference in me achieving my goal. The porters work so hard and are so nimble and fit. The food was very good and loads of it. Definitely did not need to take as many snacks which we gave away to porters and guides. Porters and guides have to provide their own clothing and shoes which is expensive and so appreciate any technical and warm clothing which we could leave. It was done in a fair way being set out in piles and each choosing which they wanted. I love the thought of my hiking boots and down jacket etc continuing to go up and down the mountain.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic and heartfelt review! Your words mean a great deal to everyone at Kilimanjaro Brothers, and we are delighted that your Kilimanjaro adventure with your two sons was such a memorable experience. It was a real pleasure to welcome you as a family for your private climb. At 60 years young, reaching the summit together with your sons is an incredible achievement, and we are so happy that our team could help make that dream a reality. Uhuru Peak: 5,895 metres — three family members, one unforgettable achievement! Our guides Abel, Emanuel and Elle will be especially proud to read your kind words. Their experience, patience, good humour and commitment to the group are exactly what we look for in our mountain team. Elle lending you his own trekking pole is a wonderful example of the personal care and teamwork we want every Kilimanjaro Brothers guest to experience. We believe that a successful Kilimanjaro climb should be safe, enjoyable and fun, not simply a race to the summit. Our guides carefully monitor each climber, adjust the pace when needed, encourage regular hydration and rest, and pay close attention to how everyone is feeling throughout the mountain journey. The famous “pole pole” approach is especially important. Walking slowly, steadily and comfortably gives the body more time to adapt to altitude and allows everyone to enjoy the incredible landscapes rather than rushing through them. Your experience is a perfect example of why patience, teamwork and experienced guides make such a difference. And of course, we cannot forget our amazing porters and kitchen team! They work incredibly hard behind the scenes to make every day on the mountain more comfortable. We are delighted you enjoyed the food — and hearing that there was so much of it that you had plenty of snacks left to share made us smile! We also truly appreciate your kind words about supporting our mountain crew. At Kilimanjaro Brothers, we value our guides, porters and cooks and believe they deserve respect, fair treatment and appreciation for the important work they do. Seeing your hiking boots, warm jacket and other useful gear continue to be used on the mountain is a wonderful example of how guests can leave a positive legacy after their climb. We are particularly proud that you noticed our company’s local roots. Kilimanjaro Brothers was built from genuine mountain experience — from porter to guide and eventually becoming a local tour company. That journey gives us a deep understanding of the mountain, our clients and the hardworking Tanzanian crew who make every expedition possible. Most importantly, thank you for trusting us with such a special family adventure. We are thrilled that the organisation, guides, porters, food, safety and overall experience helped you and your sons reach the summit together. That is exactly what Kilimanjaro Brothers is here for — making big dreams possible, one step at a time. Thank you again for recommending Kilimanjaro Brothers and for sharing your story. We hope your boots, jacket and memories continue their own Kilimanjaro adventures — and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you, your sons and your family back to Tanzania and Kilimanjaro again in the future. Karibu tena!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!

tldr: GO UP KILI WITH KILI BROTHERS I cannot say enough about the quality of my experience up Kilimanjaro with this company. I did the eight-day Lemosho route in November, and I had an absolutely phenomenal trek. Round-trip transportation was arranged for me from the airport to Moshi and back, and George, the owner of the company, was waiting for me at my hotel when I arrived. There are numerous things that makes Kili Brothers different from other companies. Kili Brothers is owned by brothers who used to be porters and are also guides themselves. With these personal experiences, they create fair labor conditions for all porters and guides. Additionally, they pay all employees fair wages. The mattresses and tents supplied are of high quality and cleanliness, as is the equipment available for rent. The food used for cooking is fresh and high-quality—during longer treks, a second team of porters will meet the cooks to replenish dwindling fresh food stocks, keeping hikers well-fed the entire journey. The porters are all incredibly kind and friendly, and they love chatting with the clients. The guides are incredibly well-trained and experienced, and they are phenomenal at sensing the needs of their clients throughout the entire journey. As a 21-year-old woman traveling in Africa by myself for the first time, safety was a paramount concern in finding my your company. The entire Kili Brothers team was cognizant of this fact and made sure I felt safe and secure at all times. Thank you to George, my guides Abel and Richard, and the entire Kili Brothers team for making my Kili summit a trip I will never forget!

Unforgettable Tanzanian Experience with Kilimanjaro Brothers! 8 days Lemosho & 5 days Safari exceeded expectations!

Value for Money, Honest, Reliable, Superb Hospitality! Back in 2020, we liaised with George on both the hike expedition and safari tour. Finally travel resumed and we made the maiden trip this August 2022. Kilimanjaro brothers took care of everything from the minute we landed until the very last day. The hike was very well organised and we had the best crew of 12, ensuring our success to the peak - guided by Sanka and Arcardi. Camping equipments were sturdy, windproof and clean. They even provided us 4 inch thick mattress and we couldn’t be more comfortable in the mountain throughout the 8 days. The portable toilet was also sanitized and cleaned daily. Our chef, Willy and waiter, Ema totally rised up to the occasion and treated us with scrumptious meals daily. The cucumber soup was memorable. Honestly, we were mindblowned by the amount of nutritious food served. We wouldn’t have done it without the guidance of Sanka and Arcardi, who are both highly experienced. From pacing, clothes layering and ensuring we consume enough water – their mission was to get us to the roof of Africa safely. Highly recommended to always go with the locals as they know best! One dream, one team! Safari was one heck of an adventure and we couldn’t be happier and fortunate to have Elly Nassary as our safari guide. He kept us entertained throughout and shared with us stories about the animal kingdom. Very knowledgeable and a brilliantly skilled land cruiser driver. Of course, we were super lucky to catch the Great Migration of Serengeti with his amazing driving skills and awesome prediction. If you’re going for a safari adventure, ask for Elly Nassary! You won’t be disappointed! Feel free to request for a beer flight, throw in the list of animals you would want to tick off your bucketlist, go running after some wildebeest, check into the TZ/KY border – Elly is always up for challenge. Best Tanzanian experience we could have asked for! Thank you - Kilimanjaro Brothers, George, Sanka, Arcardi, Elly, Willy, Ema, and the whole team for making our trip such a memorable one! Asante sana and we couldn’t stop raving about the trip to our families, friends and everyone that we crossed path with!

Response from the operator: Thanks ever so much for the great feedback, We are so happy, Thanks a million times Thanks George Mtaki George Mtaki Kilimanjaro Brothers Senior guide and director

As a 2-girls travel group, we are beyond thankful to find Kilimanjaro Brothers, a local company that not only provide A-class top notch service, but for their kindness, experiences, hospitality, and very reasonable-fair pricing. One team, one dream, all the way to the top! That’s the spirit of the Kilimanjaro Brothers (KB). We chose KB because we wanted to support a local company. We did 8 days Lemosho and 5 days Safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) in Aug 2022 – excellent weather! For those having a hard time choosing a route to climb Klimanjaro, Lemosho route is super scenic! It has a good acclimatization profile – hike high, sleep low. Highly recommend! Also, Aug is a good time for the migration at the Mara River, which we were extremely blessed to catch it!!! Top 3 reasons why you should choose Kilimanjaro Brothers: 1. Reliable, Safe and Experienced Crew - George and his crew are very experienced. They made us feel extremely safe travelling in Tanzania. Camping equipment provided are good quality and made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable. Our lead and assistant guides, Sanka and Acardi are extremely experienced and patient. Sanka checked our gears one-by-one prior to the climb to ensure we are well equipped. They paced us from Day 1 and advised us what to do/ wear every day to ensure successful summit. Listen to them! They even helped us with our bags on summit day. We couldn’t have done it without our guides and the crew. - Our safari guide, Elly, is the go-to guide for safari! He has more than 15 years of experience under his belt and is extremely knowledgeable about the animal kingdom. We learnt so much from Elly! Just challenge and give him your long list of requests, and he will try his best to hunt them for you ;P 2. Excellent Service and Personalized Experience - One of the main reasons of us choosing KB is the personalized customer experience. George is very responsive and helpful. He advised and helped us plan/ customized our Kilimanjaro climb and Safari trip. As George was a guide and porter himself, he is a walking Tanzania google! If you have any doubt, feel free to ask him anything about travelling in Tanzania, from packing list, to vaccination, etc, and he will try his best to help you. - We had the best crew and service on the mountain, beyond our expectations! The crew always find the best spot to pitch our tents – best view, away from the main crowd (quieter). Chef Willy is an excellent cook and fed us very well, everyday! You get very balanced and delicious meals. Our butler, Ema is a fun chap. We learnt Swahili and the Jambo Kilimanjaro song along the way. The crew is a fun bunch. They made our camping experience super enjoyable! 3. Affordable price point - Support the local community! KB is very transparent with their pricing and costs. They gave us a very affordable and fair quotation compared to other companies that we reached out to. In return, we received more than what we expected in terms of quality and service. Once again, a million Asante-sana to George, Sanka, Acardi, Elly and the rest of the crew for making our dreams come true and to show us your beautiful country. Hands down, best decision ever to go with KB, no regrets! Wishing you all the best and hope our paths cross again in the future! :)
