Lemosho Route This Kilimanjaro Lemosho route 9 days itinerary is a very special itinerary designed for those wishing to make the ascent to the summit in the daylight hours as well as with sun rise. It takes us through magnificent scenery with views of the Great Rift Valley, Mt Meru and with a camping option at the crater. The Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days (five nights) on the mountain. However, it is ideally tackled over eight days (seven nights) for a better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rainforest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail. The route is more scenic.

"Very nice and responsive operator"
We had a wonderful experience and great service for an honest price. Everything was arranged perfectly. From pick up to drop off, everything went smooth. Exceed Tours gave off a trustworthy vibe to where they really make you feel safe. We plan to go back and use them for Safari to Serengeti Park and Zanzibar tour.
Response from the operator: Tsup Brian, I can't forget your charming and how amazing both of you are, thank very much for giving us this opportunity to meet with you and provided our services for Kili climbing. Can't wait to see you again my friend, Oscar Swai

“Excellent 9 Days Kilimanjaro Hiking Experience"
Exceed Expectations Tours made climbing Kilimanjaro the adventure of a lifetime. With over 750 peaks under his belt and almost 5 years of experience, our guide Kilamia was outstanding. He was kind and informed and is therefore strongly advisable. Do a favor to yourself. The company itself was honest, reliable, and cautious. They appear to be a strong force for good in the community and treat their employees properly. The food on the mountain was better than expected, and the tents and gear are also in good condition. Spending more time on the mountain can help you acclimate. I would also suggest bringing more waterproof gear than you think you'll need, acquiring a local SIM card (most camps have good reception), and bringing a variety of snacks. A worthy effort is rewarded with the summit of Uhuru. Try it out!
Response from the operator: Good day Shanely, On behalf of the entire team we appreciate your consideration of Exceed Tours' service . Both of you have been amazing throughout, and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us. We appreciate you trusting us. Regards, Oscar Swai.

Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route cost?
+
Prices start at $3,526 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route?
+
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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 240 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route offered in?
+
It is offered in 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 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 Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing 9 Days Lemosho Route if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Moshi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
