The Lemosho Route is one of the newer routes on Mt. Kilimanjaro starting on the western side of the mountain just beneath the Shira Route. Although it is one of the longer routes, it is also one of the most scenic and highly recommended for good acclimatization. There is also the option to include an overnight stay in Kibo Crater – a popular choice for adventurers who have the budget and time.

5 star company!!!
Excellent service with the guides and porters from Nyange Adventures! Hands down, top notch company! Their motto is come as a client, leave as a friend- I can attest to that! We had an amazing time and all bases were covered- even the ones we didn’t know about! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An incredible team and an unforgettable climb.
The group tour I signed up for ended up being a solo trip due to last minute cancellations. However, this gave me great flexibility with the itinerary and a perfect opportunity to get to know the team. I felt safe, respected and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The whole trip felt seamless. Amnaay, the mountain guide, was instrumental to my successful summit - he was knowledgable and professional. The meals provided every day were freshly prepared and delicious. The team of porters amazed me every day with their physical abilities and joyful spirit. Bonding with the team was a highlight of the trip - not a day went by without someone bursting into a belly laugh! I also stayed at the Kibo View Farm before and after the climb, which was a little slice of heaven. I would highly recommend Nyange Adventures for their local expertise and fair treatment of porters.

A personal goal achieved thanks to the guidance and support received from the Nyange Adventures team.
At age 73 I successfully completed the ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro, via the Lemosho route, a week ago today. Throughout the eight day trek and the final ascent to Uhuru Peak I was impressed by the guidance and support received at all times from the entire Nyange Adventures team. The guides, Mo and Colin, the cook, the waiter and the fantastic team of porters that accompanied me made my success possible, and I would therefore not hesitate to recommend Nyange Adventures to anyone considering the experience of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Operator response
Congratulations on this incredible achievement, and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Reaching Uhuru Peak at 73 via the Lemosho Route is truly inspiring. We’re deeply grateful for your kind words about Mo, Colin, and the entire Nyange Adventures team. They’ll be proud to know they played a part in your success. Thank you for trusting us with such a meaningful journey and for your strong recommendation. It was an honor to support you on this unforgettable climb.

Best team ever!
I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences I have ever had traveling. It was made special because of the amazing people who supported our trek up Kily- from our awesome guides, Amnaay and Musa, to Oscar, our chef, who prepared delicious meals to Steve, our waiter,who ensured all of our needs were met to Mohammed who ensured our tents and sleeping quarters were up to snuff and ever porter who supported our hike. Everyday I looked forward to seeing our team on the mountain, they always had smiles on their faces and were cheering us along the way. We became family as we shared time together and I learned to trust my team. Nyange Adventures is top notch and I highly recommend Nyange for your trek up Kily!

Made it with Nyange!
My son and I just reached the summit on the 8 day Lemosho climb with the fabulous crew of Nyange. Special shout out to our guide Amnaay and the assistant guide Henry, without whom we would not have succeeded. On summit day, they carried our day packs, kept us at a steady pace (believe me, that is a good thing), when at several points I was ready to give up. We were one of the first ones to get there just in time to watch to most glorious sunrise. Then, they pretty much held on to us on the rapid and harrowing decent. I found Nyange hightly recommened in Stedman's book. It is a small local outfit that supports KPAP. The owner, who was once a porter, even came to say hi to us during our last day in Moshi. There are lots of operators, a couple of them had huge groups of trekkers, and I am sure they all do a fine job, but I chose to go with a local company and I am so glad I did. And, don't let anyone tell you Kilimanjaro is easy. It was very, very hard!

Nyange Adventures is the best!
Nyange Adventures led our group up 9 to the summit and safely down. They attended to very individual's needs. The local organic food was amazing. I highly recommend Nyange Adventures.

The trip of a lifetime with Nyange Adventures
I cannot recommend Nyange Adventures enough.
From the first email to the final descent off the mountain, Nyange Adventures took thoughtful care in ensuring our experience was flawless and fun.
Nyange Adventures provided timely and detailed responses to every one of our group’s dozens of emails.
They made to sure give us a thorough briefing before we left for the climb, they did a gear check to make sure we were prepared and gave us meaningful pep talks before and during the hike when they felt the group’s nerves running on high.
They were extremely responsive when unexpected issues arose and made sure each of us was comfortable and taken care of through medical emergencies, concerns with sleeping arrangements, food allergies and the like.
The care the team provided let our group fully immerse ourselves in the experience and be present in every moment.
Nyange Adventures was so prepared as a company and prepared us so well that I felt confident from day one we would all successfully summit in good spirits.
Oh and the food was delicious, too. They always provided more than enough of the tastiest food and I ate better than I do at home.
Shoutout to our crew: Antipas, Mo, Baboon, Navia and Living for an indescribable and making us feel like we have a second family in Tanzania.
Our experience was everything because of Nyange Adventures and I can’t wait to be back eventually to try out their spectacular new sustainable accommodations on their farm!

Amazing experience with Nyange
We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Nyange and had the most incredible time. Our guides (Davis, Kevin and Amnaay) took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Nyange again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

wonderful team and client oriented organisation
We are very happy with the client oriented services of Nyange. They are flexible and provide a lot of information before the hike. In case of problems they solve them. We had a wonderfull team and especially the cook Nikaas and waiter Samual. The team managed to get the best places for the tents at the camps. They did a wonderful job getting us on the summit.
