8 Days 7 Nights Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route

By Topi Adventure
What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Topi Adventure specializes in guiding on the Lemosho route. Most of our clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. Thus, Lemosho is highly recommended. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower.

        The perfect day in Arusha
        Today I enjoyed a wonderful tour of Arusha with my local guide Nickson. We went to multiple markets and I especially loved the food and spice markets. Also toured the cultural museum which was really special. Nickson is very knowledgeable explaining local customs, history.

        Nice Way to Spend the Day in Arusha
        Park was full of baboons! We also saw giraffes, flamingos, warthogs. The walking safari to a waterfall was nice. The game drive was enjoyable.

        Topi adventures... brilliant
        I would highly recommend Topi adventures and Safari based in Moshi at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Emanuel, John, and the rest of the team were highly professional in the caring of our safety and wellbeing, so friendly and approachable, they made climbing Kilimanjaro an absolute pleasure... we are hoping to go back next year and embark on a Safari with this great company...Thanks

        Amazing trek, great team!
        My wife and I did the seven day Machame route with Topi Adventure - we could not be happier with our choice! Emmanuel got us all settled before the hike, ensured we were prepared with all necessary items, and John and the team gave us a great experience on the mountain. The food was great, the service was above and beyond, and we truly had a wonderful experience - including making it up to the peak before sunrise! We will happily recommend Topi to all of our friends / family that are looking for a Tanzanian adventure!

        World-class Kili climb and the best deal possible
        Embarked in the 6-day trip up the Marangu route to Uhuru peak. Topi Adventures were extremely helpful in sorting accommodation and travel whilst I was in Kilimanjaro. Emanuel, the owner, was very pleasant, as were all the porters and guides. My guide John was the true star, however. The pace set was perfect, and his knowledge of the nature surrounding us was spectacular. All my needs were catered for, and I honestly felt I was better looked after than the other more established and well-known organisations also taking people up Kilimanjaro. Without question the best deal you can get when it comes to climbing Kili, but also a company which values porters and guides much better than mainstream and foreign companies. I cannot recommend Topi high enough, and I hope they see the future success they deserve.

        Kilimanjaro and Safafi in a Pandemic!
        We decided that we were going to brave Corona and continue on with our planned kilimanjaro and safari vacation, and boy are we glad we did. We had the whole trip booked with Topi and everything went perfect, from pickup at the airport, hiking with with our amazing guides Vicente and Nelson, and the Safari with Ben. Its a great time to do Kilimanjaro, I had heard from others you can be in a line of hikers, but we at times felt like we were the only ones on the mountain. Topi did a good job with Covid as well. Making sure nothing was crowded, and had all the windows open on transportation for good ventilation. The hotels Topi booked for us also did a good job with Covid, ensuring hand sanitizer and masks when you were in common areas. Thanks again to Topi for a great and safe experience. Angus Munro

        Local company! Highly recommend
        Choose this company for your Kilimanjaro trip!  Emanuel (owner of the company) will take care of you and organize the trip.  He greeted us at the airport and drove us to the hotel.  He also met us at the end of our climb to make sure everything went well. John and Proches were our guides and were friendly and knowledgeable.  I climbed Kilimanjaro with my fiancée and she was mentally and physically drained from hiking that many days, so we didn't know whether we would summit.  However, John and Proches were with us the whole time and made sure we made it to the peak. Choose this company and you will be provided great service!

        The weather was rainy, but we had excellent experience. The team and guides are professionals. Food was very good, may be to add more fruits. We were happy on the top of Kili! Safari trip was very well organized: a good car, hotel lounge with gorgeous view and excellent food. Thank you, Topi Adventure!

        Great staff, fantastic experience in Kilimanjaro
        We did the summit thanks to our awesome team Topi adventures. Guides, cooker, sherpas, everybody was so nice with us! The food was each day a new surprise and was delicious. All the equipment was great and we felt safe during all the trip. Emanuel, Topi’s leader is a awesome person that spend some much time to give you all the information you need during the preparation, before starting the climb and after the climb of Kilimanjaro. All the staff is local people without occidental company as a broker. You can also book safaris with Topi. Drivers and luxury buses are perfect to visit the parks and the choice of hotels give you the opportunity to sleep in the savane and have great views ! We warmly recommend this company !

        Amazing climb and the safari!
        We had an amazing trip. Everything was super well arranged/ coordinated. Awesome communication from Emmanuel as we were planning. Great recommendations on route planning. Our guides were super receptive to our requests regarding pacing. Food was great. Service was amazing. Would recommend 100%!! We did a five day safari after our Kiki climb which we also arranged through Topi and it was also better than I could have expected and not I would totally recommend to anyone without a single reservation.

        Great first-time Africa experience
        We did a custom tour with Topi, including safari in the Ngorongoro crater, a three-day hike in the Ngorongoro highlands from Empakaai crater to lake Natron with a visit to the Olmoti crater by foot on the way, and a two-day safari in the Serengeti. Elly was really quick to respond to our query and questions. We found the trip super enjoyable. The combination of walking and safari was really great. During the trip we had a combination of Topi guide (Ian) and Maasai guides, who were all very good at looking after us and knowledgeable. We camped throughout the trip except on the first night when we stayed at the Ngorongoro wildlife lodge (which is good and has an amazing view). Camping was really fun. The equipment provided by Topi is good quality. They gave us a three-man tent and mattresses so there was plenty of space for us and our luggage and sleeping was comfortable. During the walk we were accompanied by Maasai with donkeys that carried our luggage. On the way we also met many Maasai and had a lot of fun interacting with them. Abdulla the cook prepared good meals for us. The walking was low to medium level of strenuous, at the end there was a fairly steep decent for a couple of kilometers. After the hike we stayed at the Engaresero campsite and went for a walk upriver to the Engaresero waterfalls. This was really great and totally recommended. Especially the swim in the pool at the top. Bring walking sandals with non-slippery soles if you are planning to do this since part of the way you walk in the water. Do not be afraid - the guide helps you and makes sure you don't tumble, so it is very safe. You need to be a competent swimmer to feel comfortable swimming in the pools though. It is not deep but there is some current so if you are not so comfortable in the water you might find it scary. Going to see lake Natron at sunrise was great. Definitely bring binoculars. And the Serengeti was just wonderful!

        I did 6 days lemosho route and it was very interesting although the weather was quite bad for me, but with their support from guides such as EMMANUEL & NELLY they made my dream come true to the top of KILIMANJARO..

Absolutely yes and a go with these lads! My congratulations for such a wonderful team and thanks for the emotions

      Topi Adventure is the best tour operator one can rely upon to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It's owner Emanuel is very polite, humble, well mannered and supportive person. All his crew members are very much experienced and well trained. They will leave no stone unturned to provide you with the best possible facilities and food up on the mountain. Each and every minute thing is very well taken care of by them and additionally, they also click beautiful pictures of you☺️.

      The guide, cook, porters, helpers everyone are well cultured and disciplined guys. You can blindly trust them on the mountain and they will not let you down. I personally liked the cook, Emanuel provided me with. Each and every meal prepared by him was absolutely mouthwatering and finger licking, which in return provided me with extra strength for my climb.

      Also, before and after the climb, one will be provided with the best hotel stay there is in Moshi, that too for no extra charges ;)

      Hence I strongly recommended everyone who is reading this post to blindly trust this review and plan your trip with Topi Adventure.

      Further, for any other questions or clarifications you can contact me on srikant.seerapu896@gmail.com. Just in case you need any additional information for your climb.

      Emanuel and his team were amazing from start to finish. He took the time to help us plan the route and walk us through all the preparations. On the mountain, the Topi guides and porters were experienced, friendly, and a joy to climb with. I can't speak more highly of this team and everyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro should work with Topi Adventures.

      Look no further - you have found your next adventure.

      Kilimanjaro is an incredible, but challenging endeavor. In order to get the most out of it, you're going to need the right team. I could give no higher recommendation than to consider Topi for your choice. Emmanuel and his team were incredibly organized and made sure that we were not only safe, but well taken care of the whole way. I was blown away by the attention and care each and every one of the thirty (!!) crew members took for our group of six climbers. Topi takes every detail into account so that you can focus on experiencing everything the mountain has to offer, which is indescribable.

      We decided to go, got medical clearance, picked a route: Lemosho 8 day ... a good choice for maximizing altitude adjustment in the time we had. (We took diamox too - works but makes you pee lots!) To pick a company, we checked guide reviews and both found rave reviews for Emmanuel - Chief Guide and owner at Topi Adventures. So we went with Topi, who were the tops! They sent us all the info we needed, organized an add on trip in advance for us to Ngorongoro Crater, then met us at the pleasant Parkview hotel in Moshi they had booked for us to go through all our gear and make sure we had everything, and even adjusted their own prep to ensure gluten free food options and other needs we had. They teamed us with a very experienced lead guide Nelson and Ndessario - a senior guide who had trained many of the guides on the mountain and set an excellent 'pole pole' pace - a great choice. We also opted for the portable toilet - recommended!. Food all the way up was fabulous. Their care and attention to our health and to the pace that we could manage was spot on, and they took us all the way to the summit and safely down again. Nelson's transparent handling of our tips for the team members was also excellent, as was Ellie's support throughout. Their team were so good we wrote them all a song and we sang each other songs at the exit gate! BTW for the afternoon after coming down - book a massage and pedicure at Lala Salama Spa - totally worth it!
