Lemosho Route 8 Days 7 Nights/Kilimanjaro Climb

Description

Overview The 8 day Lemosho variation is the ideal schedule for this route. On the 8 day Lemosho route, the trek from Barranco to Barafu is broken up into two days, allowing for a short day just prior to the summit attempt. This is important because summit day begins very early, around midnight, so climbers are sleep deprived going into the toughest day on the mountain. By having a short day beforehand, climbers can be better rested.

Brilliant way to summit the roof of Africa

Good management of expectations. Guides were skilled, professional and fun. They were flexible and adjusted the program perfectly to our wishes (on the fly).

The summit of Kilimanjaro

The tour guides, Joseph and Vitales, and their team were very helpful, professional and welcoming. We felt safe and secure from day one - and felt we belong as a family on the mountain. This strong foundation helped us reach the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Expertly Guided, Beautifully Memorable Kilimanjaro Climb

My Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro climb with Migration Venture Africa was a truly rewarding experience. The trek was beautifully paced, allowing us to acclimatize comfortably while soaking in incredible views each day from vibrant forests to striking alpine landscapes. The team was highly professional and caring, with guides who were knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the journey. The camps were well-managed, the food kept us energized, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Reaching Uhuru Peak was unforgettable made even more meaningful by the support and camaraderie we felt from the crew. If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend Migration Venture Africa they made this dream adventure feel safe, personal, and unforgettable.

Excellent Kili Trek!

I had a wonderful trek on the Lemosho route up Mount Kilimanjaro, organised through Migration Ventures. My guide Zacariah was excellent - very patient and encouraging - and the crew of cook and porters did a fantastic job, helping me reach my summit goal. Everything ran smoothly - from the airport pickup to accommodation at a hotel beforehand to the trek itself and airport dropoff at the end. Zacariah was simply an amazing guide - ask for him when you book!

Kilimanjaro, done and dusted!

Tanzania is always great and I was happy to reconnect with my old friend and host Amos this time going for the ultimate prize - Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Amos and his team did not disappoint, he arranged for perfect guides: Epa and Joseph who took the best care of us. Getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro was much harder than we expected and I believe the crew of guides and porters made all the difference between success and failure. Nothing can replace the presence of an experienced guide at your side, whose duty is to keep you going, safe, nourished, healthy and also much more than just a friend. I know that the level of involvement during the planning phase and actual is huge because nothing took us by chance. Thank you Amos and the whole Migration Ventures team!

Uhuru Peak summiting experience - Lemosho Route

Migration Venture provided an extraordinary and a very pleasurable end-to-end experience for us during our successful Kilimanjaro climb through the Lemosho route. Starting with ease of interaction with Amos at the point of sale to the patience exhibited by our able and highly experienced guides, Epa and Joseph along with an outstanding team of porters, cooks and tent folks, our overall experience was simply outstanding. They all came together to constantly motivate and help us through out the way to successfully summit the Uhuru peak one day ahead of schedule. This really helped us with additional time to rest and recuperate after the climb. The accommodations arranged by the company pre- and post-climb at Chanya Lodge in Moshi was equally delightful. The staff out there, the wonderful ambience inside and outside our room, and the restaurant food made us so much feel welcome and at home. We could have never dreamed of accomplishing this feat without their help. Kilimanjaro climb does expose us to very harsh environmental conditions ( extreme temperature changes and UV radiation from the Sun), with steep grades at various points during the climb. It is nearly impossible to simulate such conditions and train effectively for a 15K ft+ climb prior to the climb. Yet, we were able to completely avoid an signs of early fatigue, burnout or high altitude sickness and I would attribute all of that success to Epa, Joseph and the team of porters. I would not hesitate to climb again with these wonderful and highly committed folks, perhaps in about 2 years from now. Thank you for the wonderful experience and hospitality, Migration Venture!!

I am happy and will tell my friends again and again about you guys

Great Team of Expert Climbing Guides

It was an incredible 8 day Kilimanjaro trek on the Lemosho trail guided by Eric and Nicholas makes me happy that we decided to go with Migration Venture Africa. This crew had made all logistical preparations for equipment, travel plan, medical supplies, food…… Conquering Kilimanjaro took our mental and physical determination and we could not have done it without this crew. Preparation for each daily section was thorough including briefings, health checks and motivational songs. I still remember those delicious meals prepared by John! I have nothing but praise for Migration Venture Africa

What an amazing Adventure to the Roof of Africa

We were a group of 8 teachers from Lisbon who decide to do Kilimanjaro. We decided to book with Migration Venture Africa after reading their reviews online which were very impressive. Some of the teachers were concerned about the trek, but Aloyce the director assured us that we would have the support of a professional climbing crew with guides, porters and cooks like we see on Everest movies. We opted for the Lemosho route as advised by Aloyce, which was longer but would allow us more time to acclimatize and increase our chances of reaching the summit. Our chief guide Nicholas was the best leader anyone could have asked for. He marshaled his crew and they went above and beyond to ensure we made it to the top. Nicholas was very observant. He did the health checks at night and kept a close eye on us during the climb. We were in peak condition through the whole climb, thanks to Nicholas and team great care. He was a great motivator; encouraging us and led us all successfully to Uhuru Peak. I also want to mention the contribution of Jacob, our cook and his assistant who prepared meals fit for kings. His food kept our energy levels up. The porters deserve commendation for carrying all the supplies and camp equipment and also setting up our tents every afternoon and taking them apart in the mornings. This climb was an experience of a lifetime and I recommend Migration Venture Africa fully.

I had the most amazing trek with Migration Venture Africa

I am so grateful to Migration Venture Africa for taking care of me when I joined a group to trek up Kilimanjaro. I chose to go with Migration Venture because they had a small group going up with my dates and Amos was reasonable with the costs. They took everything very seriously; regular health checks, weighing all the luggage even the one carried by the porters. We had Vitalis as the head guide and he did a splendid job of guiding the group of strangers coming from different cultures to the summit. He is an easygoing and wonderful guide and his experience around the mountain showed through the way he carried himself around without missing anything. The climb was a beautiful experience seeing starting with the rainforest with beautiful waterfalls, monkeys. With each day the scenery changed as we got higher and higher and it was very educative to hear from Vitalis and his team. I am really happy with the service and support that I received from Migration Venture Africa and I recommend them without any reservations
