Mount Kilimanjaro Trek 7-Days: Lemosho Route

The most important thing about scaling a mountain is knowing that safety comes first. I've climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro three times now, and every time I've gone with Intrepid Treks and Safaris, who offer far more value than you pay for. The preparation, the safety checks, the daily check-ins, the diet — everything from day one to summit day, and all the way back to our final lunch before saying goodbye — was top-notch. We had the best team out there: our attentive, encouraging guide Baraka; our patient, kind, detail-oriented waiter Jared; our chef; and our porters — every single one of them went above and beyond. I can't wait for our next trip with Intrepid Treks and Safaris. If you're looking for a company that takes care of you from the first step to the last, I highly recommend them.

Our experience with Intrepid Travel on our Mount Kilimanjaro hike was truly exceptional. From start to finish, they took great care of our needs and tailored the tour to suit us perfectly. The support from the guides was instrumental in helping us reach the summit. We couldn’t have done it without them. The entire team, including the porters, cook, and guides, created an unforgettable experience. Their dedication, professionalism, and warmth made the journey not only successful but also deeply enjoyable. The food and service were outstanding, far exceeding our expectations. I can’t recommend Intrepid Travel highly enough. They made our Kilimanjaro adventure one to remember for a lifetime.

Our original plan was to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in January 2019, but we had to postpone our trip for family health reasons and Intrepid Explorer Tanzania was able to defer our trip for more than a year at no cost. Thanks Wence! We were a party of two guys in good physical shape. We climbed the mountain on the Lemosho route with a party of 2 guides and 10 porters. The guides, Shafi and Nuru, tailored the pace based on our ability, so we completed the climb in 6 days. The guides were knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the mountain, it's flora and fauna. On the assent morning, they timed our start so that we would arrive at the summit at dawn, it was well planned and implemented. They hiked with us at all times and were engaging and interesting companions. The porters worked hard to break and set-up camp three times a day, the food was surprisingly good considering everything was carried by hand on the mountain. Would consider using ear plugs as some of larger camps were noisy at night. I also recommend paying for a private toilet! Overall, it was a great experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Intrepid Explorer Tanzania for organizing a climb of Mt Kilimanjaro!
